moving right along...

I heard from my nurse and they decided to do a recheck on Tuesday. There is still some room for my lining to grow so they will wait another week and see where I am at. She said worst case scenario, I'm looking at getting bumped to transferring on 7/12 instead of 7/16. Of course, it could get too thick and then, I'm done.

I'm really surprised that he didn't suggest that I start progesterone now and transfer on Tuesday. I completely trust them and I asked her if he was worried that it'd get too thick and she said no. We'll see about that. So, for now, I'll stay at 2 patches per day instead of bumping up to 3 and 4 over the next week.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this goes well!!!

This wait is horrible.

I'm still waiting to hear from the nurse and going crazy. I did check in to make sure she received everything and she said she has it but has to speak to the doctor. ugh.

tick tock tick tock

Still freaking out...

I had a recheck this morning. I'm at 11.6 and have the triple pattern, ideal for transfer, except that's not scheduled until July 16th. Now, I'm sitting waiting to hear from my nurse at CCRM. ugh.

I foresee changing flights and packing bags in my future. crap. this is going to be interesting. I just pray we can work around Caitlin's party. I don't want to have to cancel this cycle, all these meds and shots for nothing.

I'm freaking out.

I had my first check on Saturday for bloodwork and ultrasound. The RE that I use for local monitoring doesn't do monitoring for patients that they aren't cycling on the weekends. So, I had to go to my old RE for the bw and US. I waited forever.

Then, I got a message from CCRM on Saturday that I needed to get it rechecked again on Tuesday which is NOT on my original calendar. So, something is up! My nurse just called and my lining is already getting too thick. awesome.

She said they may need to move up my transfer. This causes a problem since Caitlin's first birthday party is the Saturday prior to my transfer and we already booked our flights. I really hope the tech on Saturday just screwed up!!!

Chocolate Chocolate Everywhere!!!

Ok, I LOVE Chocolate. No, I mean I really LOVE Chocolate!!!! But, of course, right now, I can't have any caffeine which includes chocolate. When I've cycled before, it really wasn't too difficult, I managed.

This time, I have been struggling from day 1. But, I've dealing with it. Well, this weekend, I was offered FREE chocolate in the mall. They were handing out flood insurance information on Hershey bars. I told the woman, sorry, I can't eat chocolate. She still insisted on giving it to me. ugh. I gave it to my husband. Then, I bought my husband a chocolate chip cookie cake for father's day. Then, would you believe that my coworker brought me in a box of chocolate to thank me for helping her? seriously, torture!!! I'm dreaming of eating that big piece of chocolate cake when all this is done. YUM!!

Here goes nothing!

So, quickest wait ever! AF arrived this morning and here I thought she'd be delayed due to all this crap I have going on. So, I put my call into CCRM to the nurse to get things started. Um, that was weird. Hello, this is .... and I got my period this morning. weirdest call!!

I'll get my lab slips for the local RE down here to do bloodwork and ultrasounds. I'm really looking forward to going down to 5 units of lupron as well!!! Although, while it was bad for a few days, I want to say I remember it being worse longer in the past. Maybe I'm just too busy this time to pay attention?! let's hope.

Now, onto the estrogen patches! fun!!

Waiting Again...

So, here I am, waiting! Since I took my last bcp on Tuesday, AF should arrive here within a few days. In the past, I've gotten it at all different times. One cycle, I got it the next day and another cycle, it took 5 days! So, just have to wait on her to arrive! I can't wait since I'll get to drop the lupron down when I start estrogen!

I was actually feeling okay yesterday.
