Waiting


We’re on day 4 of waiting. I have to admit that I have a bit of a negative feeling. Chances are that I’m just not allowing myself to get my hopes up too much. I guess I could just be trying to protect myself. Not that I honestly believe that it will make bad news any easier, but it’s worth a shot.

Speaking of shots… I’M SO SICK OF THEM!!! I’m so sore that it’s hard to sleep. Both sides of my butt feel like they have big tumors in them. On Saturday, right before my husband had to give me a shot, I freaked out. A hysterical freak out. An ugly cry. I called my mom in the middle of it (sorry about that) because I didn’t know what else to do. I recently saw something on Pinterest that said something like “No matter how old I get, when I feel bad I just want my mom”. So true. I calmed down a little after that, but it took me a while to start being rational again. These meds are getting too hard to handle. Progesterone and estrogen overload.

My strength may be weakening a bit, but my heart is still in it. Hopefully, next year at this time I will be celebrating Mother’s Day as a mom. God, I hope so. Not that my day was bad yesterday. My two beautiful god children (Jax and Molly) bought me flowers and I spent the day with a few wonderful women. I know I’m meant to be a mom. I just don’t know why it’s been so difficult to get there. I’ll be testing soon…. SO ANXIOUS!!!!

Frozen Transfer Day

Transfer day has arrived. I feel good. I'm a lot more relaxed this time around, I think. Maybe because I know what the process is like and I'm not really anticipating the unknown for today. I also think I'm trying not to have too many emotions one way or the other.

Either way, I feel pretty good today! Yet again, I've received cards, calls, messages, and texts and each one means so much to me. We have such wonderful people around us.

I'll probably update soon after the transfer, but as for now, the butterflies are starting. Hopefully there will be more than little butterflies in there within the next couple of weeks!

Let's go give those frozen babies a nice, warm home to live in!

Next Week!

After more bloodwork and an ultrasound today, the nurse told me that I'm cleared for the embryo transfer next week! This has seriously been the longest couple of months EVER. Tonight I'm just happy that I can stop giving myself the Lupron injections into my thigh. The side of my thigh is bruised and has about 25 little injections marks. Tonight's injection really hurt, but it was the LAST ONE!!! Unfortunately, tomorrow we start all of the progesterone injections. These injections go into the top of my backside. They suck. A lot. It'll all be worth it in a few weeks, right??????????????????

Also, GO BULLS!
