Week 5 of Medication: Transfer Tomorrow!

Last week: Five weeks of daily injections and tomorrow is finally the day! This week has been a doozy but I couldn't be more excited for tomorrow. 

If you didn't read my previous post about progesterone, let's just say that we didn't get alone very well. My first PIO shot left me nearly uncontious and with a painful, lumpy, sore butt cheek. Luckily things are going much smoother in regards to the injections but I am feeling a strong emotional side effect. 

I. Am. So. Emotional. I don't think I was even this emotional in either of my pregnancies! I can cry at commercials, scream from the tiniest annoyance, or be over the moon happy for the simplest gesture. My poor, poor family lol. 

My bum is still quite sore but I think I'm just adjusting to the pain. There's really not much else I can do. The bloating has died down a lot but my body doesn't seem to like gluten products, either. So that's both dairy and gluten I've had to eliminate/cut back; Except for today when I went to a super bowl party and indulged in all the unhealthy game-day treats. :D Speaking of food, my appetite has seemed to have really increased in the last couple days and I just want to eat all the time. 

My labs on Wednesday went great. Estradiol was at 1187 (which is great) and Peigesterone was just beginning to rise at 14.07. 

Next Week: Obviously this next week is exciting! Nothing too exciting as far as Meds go, in fact, Meds are exactly the same this week as they were last week except I'll be stopping the Medrol and Doxycycline tomorrow, but our transfer is tomorrow!!! 

I'll arrive at ORM tomorrow at 12:45 and I believe the transfer will be about an hour after I arrive. My acupunturist will meet me there and do a session before and after the transfer. They'll have me lay in bed for an hour after the transfer then send me home where I'll be on bed rest until I wake up on Wednesday. By 2pm tomorrow I should have two little cherubs hopefully taking stake in my fluffy uterus! 

Think sticky thoughts for all of us tomorrow! Ahhhh! :D :D :D
