Hopeful Estimated Due Date of January 25, 2015

Just got the call and our FET is on May 9th!  So excited.  My lining was 9.4 and triple stripe, which means its ready to accept those embryos.

Making hotel reservations now.  It will be a nice overnight trip for Brian and I.

Please let this bring us our rainbow(s).

Ugh.

Freaking out about tomorrow. So scared my lining is going to be thin.  Afraid this will be the one time that anything on my body is thin. 

Nerves and such...

So this week, On Tuesday, my FET fate is determined. I have my lining check at 8am. Please, please, please let my lining be where it needs to be. 

Fingers and toes are crossed. 

E2 = So far, so good

Traveled to Dallas for work this week.  Got back late last night and had to go in for a blood draw first thing to make sure my E2 numbers were where they needed to be.  ORM wanted it to be between 200 to 1000 and my level was 504.  Great news!  So, I continue my E2 shots and lupron, with my next and final hurdle on Tuesday, when I get my lining checked.

I'm exhausted from traveling and I don't sleep well in hotels.  Looking forward to a gin & tonic (or two) this evening, and then I'm going to sleep in tomorrow.  Which, with Max and Lucy means that I will sleep until 7am.

Great picture of the Dallas skyline to commemorate my work trip.

Suppression Acheived

Got my E2 results back and they want it under 80 and I under 20.  So, I took my estradiol valerate shot this am, given to me by the always awesome Brian, and am now taking those on Monday and Thursday.

I'm travelling to Dallas tomorrow, so I will have to shoot myself on Thursday.  I'm nervous.

We signed our Thawing document tonight, which tells the lab to thaw 2.  We had to get it notarized, and the UPS Store wasn't far from Leo's, so that meant $.50 wing night for us!

Feeling very hopeful.

Stat!

Went and had my E2 drawn today at Sparrow. Surprisingly, they already Dr Williams in their system so the results will be sent today. They were marked stat. 

Max had to go get his rabies booster today at the vet. He did so good. I love him so much. 

Bri and I took Max and Lucy to the park when I got home and they are both so exhausted right now. Totally crashed. 

Tonight is pot roast and roasted potatoes. I also bought a Pepperidge Farm Coconut Cake because it reminded me of my Grandmother Mancuso. 

Easter is tomorrow. :)

Murphy's Law

Just when I was beginning to think I was going to be doing my FET without getting my period, guess who shows up.  Aunt Flo!

I'm glad that she showed up and it makes me feel better about proceeding.  Getting my E2 labs drawn tomorrow and expect to start E2 injections on Monday.

Things are looking good for a May 9th transfer.  Fingers crossed.

Suppressed, Already?

Still no AF or signs of it. Talked to the nurse at ORM and she said I might just be suppressed already. I'm going to get my E2 drawn on Saturday and if it shows that I'm suppressed, I will start E2 injections on Monday and start building my lining without worrying about getting a period. 

I guess it's possible that three weeks of bcp suppressed me to such a point that there is no lining to shed.  

Different than last time, when I had spotting the whole cycle and got my period three days after the last pill! but maybe different is good. 

Should know more on Monday. Fingers crossed. 

Parsley Tea and Me

No AF yet. Fucking bitch. I steeped and drank some parsley tea. Hoping that works. 

Waiting on A Friend

Usually, I hoping and praying that my period doesn't come.  Right now, I'm hoping for it to show ASAP.  I really want it to show tomorrow.  I want to get this show on the road.  I'm anxious and restless  and really want to have my FET on May 9th 

9 or 16?

Took my last bcp today. If my period starts soon, our FET will be May 9th. If it doesn't start by Thursday, it will be May 16th. 

Hoping for the 9th because of my work schedule, but excited either way. 

Yay. 

Lupron Starts!

This morning I took my first lupron shot. I will take it for four weeks. I also reviewed all the info in the packet that ORM sent. It was familiar but I had forgotten some of the timing.

I'm waiting to hear back from my OB office to see if they can do my blood work and u/s. I'm hoping to avoid Dr Gago because it's so far away and she wants to charge $350 for monitoring. My insurance covers the cost of the u/s and b/w, so she's charging that just to fax over the results.  Ridiculous. Hopefully, my ob can do it. 

Lazy Sunday today. Laundry is the plan. I kind of what to go to the diner for breakfast but Bri wants an Irish coffee so we are going to go to Beggers Banquet and I will have a $2 Bloody Mary. 

The weather is beautiful out. Finally, Spring has Sprung. :)

P.S.  Lucy is my shadow all the time. This is her right now, with the sun streaming in the window.

Ready, set, go!

Got my calendar today. Transfer is either May 9th or 16th. Hoping for the 9th because I have a major event at work on the 17th, but if our FET is on the 16th, I already told Kasa I wouldn't be able to lift anything heavy. 

Aetna got my meds approved. Lupron ships tomorrow. $20 co pay. I start my lupron shots on Sunday. 

Got my day 3 results back. FSH is 9.9. It sounded high to me but the nurse told me it's perfect for my age. 

Really excited. Went to Longhorn to celebrate. Lamb chops for me and trout for Bri. We brought our leftovers home and Max and Lucy had surf and turf. <3
