So by the time I post this I will probably have just announced that I am not pregnant, sad but ready to move on! At this point I will also have had some of my frozen embryos implanted! That's the exciting part.
We started our first round of shots on Tuesday evening. My anxiety level is really low probably because I know what to expect. Tuesday's shot was super easy and painless. Last nights shot was miz. Jay stuck me once and then quickly again. Pain. He explained that the first shot wouldn't puncture my skin and so he quickly tried again. I gripped his arm and left some marks :o
The protocol for an FET should be much easier on me than the fresh cycle of IVF. I've been on BC pills since September and will be on them for a total of 21 days. These are to regulate my system and quiet everything down. I'll be on the lupron shots for several days (14-20). I will also start adding estrogen patches soon. Those should help me become quite the moody bitch :) as well as thicken my lining. 6 days before the transfer we will add those lovely progesterone shots in the tush. Our transfer is scheduled for November 2nd. That leaves me finding out if it worked the day before my birthday. I'm praying for a wonderful birthday present this year :)
So I think that's where we're at on the expanding our family section of our life. Things have definitely been stressful recently so if the FET doesn't work, we're going to take some time off to regroup and recoup our finances. As always, thanks for the continued support!
