Just how many needles does it take to fill a sharp's container?

This cycle is finally starting to seem real. And really close. After nearly a year of waiting, testing, talking and various delays it's going to be here so very soon.

Last night was the last lupron shot. Oh how very glad I am not to be getting ready to give myself the easiest of easy shots.

Tonight is the first double shot night for the mister: progesterone and E2V. I know he's really grateful to only have to do the double shots every third night. He's getting very good at it though (well, he's getting really good at the E2V, we'll see how he is with our old friend progesterone in sesame oil).

Tomorrow night I add medrol to the mix. I should get a call on Saturday with our scheduled transfer time. I'm fairly relieved to not have a weekend transfer as I think this will increase the likelihood of Dr Local doing the transfer himself. I suppose this is one of the only perks of being such a frequent (and sometimes difficult) patient.

I don't think I'll have any information about the thaw until we get to the clinic on Monday. They like to thaw just before. I like to be on valium when I get the thaw information (like, say, last year when only 1 out of 4 PERFECT embryos thawed ok). I do have extra drugs if I need them. I do not intend to share said drugs so don't even ask. I highly recommend including a psychiatrist in your closest circle of friends (along with the previously mentioned realtor, decorator, etc). Honestly I'm not strictly about befriending people I can use, it just often works out nicely for me.

Ok, enough lolly-gagging. Time to create some medical waste.

I have been following your blog for a while now, and I am very excited for your upcoming transfer. I am sending good thoughts your way.

Make sure to warn Mister that the PIO will take a little more elbow grease to push through. That was the weird part for Mr. DD.

Also, a tip from me to you? You know those self-adhesive heating pads you can get that heat up once exposed to air? I was using those on the site post-PIO inj to keep the site from getting swollen and lumpy.

...unless you like that sort of thing.

wishing you all the best for your transfer. I have discovered that FET do work to my great surprise, and I hope it will work for you too. Keeping my fingers crossed.
