Yeah, now that's more like it! E2 blood work came back at a respectable 400 *whew*. When I had blood drawn Thursday the nurse said "I don't know what the doctor will say. I don't think he'll cancel your transfer because your lining looks good...but we'll have to wait and see." Whaaaaat???
I have decided officially that 1) quest lab results run a little high 2) my clinic's lab numbers run a little low. Between the two of them I don't know which way is up. I know one thing for sure, I always test low for everything, betas included, I think I really metabolize hormones super fast. I know that my lining looks good and I don't have to do more blood work until Monday morning. I'll be sure to pop one of those estrogen pills right before I go.
I can't wait to transfer those embryos. I feel like I am in the 2ww already, and I still have 4 more days to go before they put them I!! . Aaarg I hate to wait. This 2ww is going to be the worse wait ever. And it's not like I don't have a ton of stuff to do around here, because I do, I just can't focus on anything but this Tour de Crotch. Last Lu.pron shot tonight. (yeah!) Progesterone shots start tomorrow (boo!) along with medrol, and doxy.
Thank you to everyone that has come on this blog these past couple of weeks. And thank all of you for WRITING such wonderful blogs. Thank you for letting me into your lives and cycles, so I can keep my mind off of my own. Thank you for sharing your book ideas, your diet success stories, your feelings about infertility, your highs and your lows this month. And thank you for holding my hand and giving me such kind and helpful comments here. Your kindness and patience with me has been appreciated most of all.
I know it isn't easy for most of you to come here and read posts on a 'parenting after infertility' blog. I know that this blog could be a mine field at any time, especially when you are chock up to the gills with hormones. Sometimes I am embarrassed by all that I have. I can't give everyone the luck I've had with insurance, or my luck with my past cycles, but I wish I could. I really, really do. And I promise not to talk about my kids too much. Some other time, most likely, but not now.
I started trying to conceive in the year 2000. That was a loooong time ago. I have learned a lot about infertility and its treatment over the years, but I still have stuff to learn, and I'm learning it from YOU guys, all of you. :) Thank you.
(but I won't start naming names, because then I would leave somebody out, and that would suck donkey balls.)
So glad for your blog, too, and your support! And I don't know if I've said this to you or not, but I don't think it's easier to be TTC if you have kids/just because you have have past success...I think everyone has a feeling what their ideal family looks like and if they aren't able to fulfill that wish it is hard. I really want 2-3 kids...one will be terrific if that's what I end up with, but I'll still have that longing for the others and the stress/hope/letdown if things don't go as planned... Not sure this explains my feelings well but bottom line I'm sure this is a huge roller coaster even if you have kids and we are all here to support you!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend! :)
OOOOh, now we're gonna share a transfer date!!!! SO exciting!!!! I start the POI tomorrow, too. Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping that Tuesday comes faster than we could imagine!

Just thought I'd let you know I actually like reading all the kid stories so don't be too shy about sharing them! And this is coming from someone that is at 13 years of ttc w/o success and one FET to go before looking at a child free future. I don't think you should feel guilty for your success. It's YOUR journey and peoe will follow if they want. I personally like the success stories :)
