This morning I got up at the butt crack of dawn. I had an early lining check appointment with Dr. Local and I didn't want to be late. My clinic makes a really, really big deal about the Bay Bridge and I didn't want to give them any ammunition. They are also being super cool about always scheduling me with my real doctor and not whatever Joe is walking around in a white lab coat wielding the dildocam that day.
So my appointment was at 8:30. And the bridge traffic was actually bad. I'm glad I allowed plenty of time. I even had enough time to find a free parking spot and get chai before my appointment.
If I had more time I'd write about the PTSD that hits me as soon as I get off the elevator on the 7th floor or the sad faces in the waiting room. Or even worse, the red teary face that passed through the room quickly as a couple just tried to get to the elevator. That has been me so many times.
But I've got a work call in 6 minutes so I'll get down to business:
9 mm. Triple Stripe. Very Consistent and gawgeous.
Dr. Local was the most excited I've ever seen him. I was quite pleased as well. All that acupuncture/red meat/lamb/no cold drinks/baby aspirin/sub-lingual B vitamin/yoga/visualization have totally paid off. Not to mention the ginormous shots of E2V that have been loaded into my butt every third night.
Lupron ends tomorrow. Progesterone begins on Thursday. Transfer will happen on Monday.
Finally I feel like I'm moving forward and not just treading water.
I never thought I would say this to anyone but, congrats on the plush lining! Best of luck. I will be pulling for you guys!

Woohoo! Great news. Smiling here for you. Ack -- I can't remember the details -- how many embryos do you have available and what's the plan for the thaw and transfer? Can't wait to hear about the next step . . .

Wow, that sounds great!! Good luck with your transfer!
I've been reading your blog and I think we have very similar MIL's. Mine is also obsessed about who is "family" and who's not. There were a ton of other similarities beyond that one. We haven't told them about our IF yet, and I just know she'd have tons to say about it. I may have to go with donor eggs, and I just find myself feeling so glad that it's not donor sperm, otherwise she might not treat the kid as her actual grandchild. UGH!

You sure do have a purty lining. Got everything crossed for Monday!

OMG- so exciting!! I didn't think it would happen so quickly once you got cancelled/postponed. (I know it doesn't seem quick to you though.)
When is thaw? Good luck with that. I will keep my fingers crossed that they thaw nicely and grow & divide well!
