98% set for August 4th transfer

Soooo, MY body is ready to go for this transfer to happen August 4th. They are still monitoring the "other woman" so the nurse said there is an ever so slight chance that it will be pushed back a week. They'll let me know by Fri. or Sat. for sure. In the meantime, I switch up the drugs a little, and she's going to call back tomorrow with the scheduled time and instructions for the 4th. They will be using IV sedation this time around.... I think too many stress hormones were released last time with the yanking on my tilted uterus!

August 4th or 11th

I had a monitoring appointment this morning, and tonight started adding in the Estrace pills along with the Lupron injections. I go back next Monday. I'm still a little aggravated with the nurses/doctor/office as a whole because VERBALLY the nurse today told me she checked with the doctor and they are comfortable with scheduling my transfer the same day as the other person using these same embryos. However, on my flowsheet in the patient portal they have repeated the same line they had there previously which is "please make sure patient before Julie has completed her transfer before scheduling Julie." ARGH. I will probably wait til next week when I go in to bring it up yet again, although if I perseverate on it I will call them before that! Regardless, what I was told today is we are on target for the transfer to take place either August 4th or August 11th.

On a humorous note, I have gotten so comfortable with my nightly injection that I actually did it in the middle of a movie theater the other night! Before this, when I wasn't going to be home around the right time, I brought it with me and would excuse myself to the bathroom to do it, but nope, not this time. Dark theater in the middle of the movie! At today's blood draw, the guy that normally does it wasn't there, so the one nurse did it. She jabbed the one arm and wiggled the needle around a bit, then said she gave up on that one and wanted to try the other arm. Really? Obviously, I realize hitting a vein right so that you can get blood is very different than just stabbing yourself in the belly, but I wanted to take the needle from her and say just let me do it myself! LOL
