even better... JUNE 9TH!

I had another monitoring appointment this morning (at 6:45 this morning, to be exact!) Everything looks just how they want it... my lining is now above 10 (8 is the minimum) and so originally they were going to have me have the embryo transfer June 2nd like I expected. However, I half joked with the nurse that I had been hoping it would be held off for another week so that I'd be out of school and not need to take off one of our last days. As it turns out, the nurse said we can wait a week! I questioned her a couple times, and she checked with the doctor... they explained that as long as I maintain the Lupron injections and the Estrace pills, etc., there will be no difference... my body would be ready for it June 2nd and just as ready for it June 9th. For my stress level and peace of mind and all those other factors, it is a HUGE difference so I am thrilled to be able to wait until the school year ends!
So June 9th it is! I need to be at the center at noon and the transfer is scheduled for 12:30. After that, I wait and wait and wait until June 17 when I go in for a blood test that will tell me whether the embryo decided to attach to my lining and hang out in my uterus for the long haul. :)

looking towards June 2nd!

I had a monitoring appt. yesterday. My lining is already above an 8 which is the minimum needed for a transfer, so that's fabulous, but my estrogen level needs to be higher so they have me continuing on the Lupron injections (I thought I'd be done with those but oh well!) along with an estrogen pill twice a day. I go back for another check on Wednesday, so it still looks like June 2nd will be THE day. :)

in process...

5 Lupron shots down, 15 still to go! So far it hasn't been TOO bad (aside from bursting into tears a couple of random times) but that happens even without the added drugs... HA! Besides, I'm not really going to complain if the end result is a baby! :)
