One more week! Its finally getting close to the all important day that I have been waiting 4 months for!
I had an appointment at the Dr. office today for an ultrasound to check the lining of my uterus.
The nurse that did the ultrasound said everything looked great. Nice and thick and has all 3 layers that it should have. Ready for an embryo to snuggle in to!
I got all my instruction for the next week and for the day of the transfer!
I have to take my injections that I give myself in the thigh until tomorrow and then Thursday, I start the progesterone injections. : ( My thighs will finally be able to recover for the all the injections. I have bruises and I feel like I am covered in punctures. But the progesterone is so much worse!
I also have a belly covered in estrogen patches. 4 of them now. I have red splotches all over from taking them off every other day and putting new ones on. I'm going to run out of fresh skin to put new ones on soon.
This will of course all be worth it when this works!
I'll post an update after transfer to let you all know how it went.
The nurse today said the transfer itself will only take a few minutes but then I'll have to hang out laying down for about 30 minutes (with a full bladder, since that's apparently necessary for the transfer). Then I'll be home on bed rest until Thanksgiving.
My parents are super nice and are coming out a couple days before the transfer to help me get ready for thanksgiving and take care of me while Greg works on Wednesday. Then Greg's family will be here for Thanksgiving weekend and Ashley will be here from Texas as well. So I'll have plenty of people to help out while I take it pretty easy for the weekend.
YAY! ONE MORE WEEK!
