Next Steps

Been on the phone quite a bit with PFC. Short version is:

I am to stay on both the estrace and provera until December 14th. Then I call them on Day 1 of my period. Day two of my period, I will start a med call delestrogen which is an injection. I hear these are easy. Then five days before we transfer, I will begin the dreaded progesterone in oil - butt injections. Keep us in your prayers! We are getting very close and I need a great looking lining again next cycle.

Word on the street, we are transferring sometime during the first half of January! Waaahoo!

Lining Check - Mock

Well today was the big day!! What a day it was. My dear friend Nikki graciously helped me out and watched the girls while I went to the appointment. I'm pretty sure there is a saying that things go wrong, so other things go right. Or something. If not, now there is.

Rushing two kids out the door, I decided to grab sausage biscuits for breakfast and Starbucks for my friend. I don't usually get out too early, but wow, Starbucks took forever. Got the girls to Nikki's and off I went. I was going to be there in time.

Then I pulled my usual stupid self, overthinking, I don't know where I'm going crap - and totally was going the wrong way. How many years have I lived here and I can't get to the hospital that's right off the freeway. Ugh. I stress my own self out. I called them and said I'd be a tad late and they were great about it.

Show up and get in the exam room and I was so nervous, my BP had to be skyrocketing. I went to the bathroom and while in there I prayed. Got in to my room and waiting for the tech, I prayed. This just had to work. I could not deliver more bad news to my friends.

The tech came in and she was super sweet. She was a little quiet during the exam which made me even more nervous. But she did her thing and said "you're measuring at 10-11mm" SHUT UP!! My face lit up and yes, tears of joy welled up in my eyes. I couldn't wait to break the news.

Rushed out if the hospital so I could get cell service and message F&C. I wish I could have been there. This was a big moment for us. We can move on. I am so thankful they stuck it out with me. We virtually hugged, and jumped up and down together. They celebrated with drinks & Joe and I had a fabulous date night. Dinner and a movie. And I can't stop smiling and thinking "what's next?"

Thank you all for your support and prayers and messages so far! I am so blessed!! I'm sure there will be another update soon. For now, waiting on my next cycle to begin!

Gotta love this fluffy bunny!

The Friends I've Never Met

Ran across something today, and it made me think about my friends F&C. They hold a very very special place in my heart. To entrust in me, to carry their most precious cargo - it is a very special bond. When I read these words, I immediately thought of them. Here is what I read. I do not know the source.

It's strange to have a friend that you have 
never hugged, shook their hand or looked 
into their eyes.

But you have been touhed by their soul,
seen the good in their heart and felt
the warmth in their being.

The friends I have never met are not my
friends untouched for I have felt them
with me when I needed them.
I have confided in them and they are
some of the kindest people
I have ever known.

My Friends, Never forget how special 
you are to me.

The lining check is scheduled for Tuesday, November 26th. I pray pray pray it all goes well, and I can be extremely THANKFUL this Thanksgiving. I just know it will go great. And no matter what, I have found some amazing friends along this journey! We are put on this earth to help, and love one another. I can't imagine not being able to go through with all this for my sweet friends. <3

November

Finally! We've made it to November. Mock cycle month. I expect my cycle in about 10 days. I need to get with the clinic and be sure they are sending them this week. Nothing is changing, I will be taking oral estrace again.


October was so busy. Looking forward to the cooler temps and holidays! Hopefully if things go right I'll have wonderful news for F&C. We cannot wait to get past this mock and our fingers are crossed that we can jump into transfer very very soon. Once again, all your prayers are appreciated - specifically at this point for a beautiful, thick lining.
Ill be updating in a couple weeks. Thanks for reading.
