It's official...I have arrived...last night at 8:15pm to be exact...pretty uneventful flights...about 20 minutes before boarding at each connection ( i had 3)...of course there was an irate passenger on my newark-dehli flight and I was hoping to see a air marshall in action but to no avail...i had the video camera ready and everything...everything went smooth..i enjoyed continental much better than air france...the seats seemed more comfortable and a little bigger...bec and rahul met me at the airport...somehow i missed customs totally and popped outside where the taxis were...i totally missed bec and rahul...they had a sign and everything!!!but i called rahuls cell and they were right behind me...apparently I'm a much better solo international traveler than I gave myself credit for...it was great to meet Bec...I'm so thankful she is here with me! Although it is my first time in Dehli it feels familiar and comfortable...very similar to mumbai except not so crowded and the streets and traffic so far has been much better! After breakfast and a swim and a brief tour of the mall, I went to isis for my appointment. Dr.Shivani was so nice and even prettier in person!! They drew some labwork and my ultrasound showed a AFC of 7 (in mumbai it was 9 on baseline)...but that's much better than the one in Jackson that showed 4!!! Of course, I still wish I had the October 2010 AFC as it was 17...I will go back tomorrow to go over labwork and start my injections!! She wants to check my hormone levels before starting...I am glad of that, but...I always dread the results...I'm not used to failing tests, remember?? I must give the bathroom at Isis a thumbs up as well..remember the "hole" experience at Rotunda....Overall a positive experience so far, except that I miss my family terribly...we did get to skype last night but sometimes that just makes me miss them more....but I am so thankful for technology right now!!I'm having some jet lag....got to get on dehli time soon so I can enjoy the sights!!!

Hang in there this is just a short portion of your overall time. HOWEVER we can totally relate to the Rotunda experience. Very different. And I had my niece with us for our egg donor. Age 26 and never been out of the country. So there were "issues" -- good luck with everything and stay positive. This will happen. Take care.
ReplyDeletewoohoo!!!! welcome 'home' you are in safe hands, i wish you a hitch free trip and excellent results and i can tell you that your egg retrieval wont be as painful as mumbai. stay positive.x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy every moment of Delhi - it definitely feels different than Mumbai in many many ways!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Delhi! You are in the best of hands with Dr. Shivani. We haven't been to Mumbai, but we had a truly awful experience overall in Hyderabad--thankful every single day for Dr. Shivani, her amazing staff, and the fabulous treatment we received there. I hope everything goes well for you...don't worry so much over AFC--you only need one good egg! All the best to you,
