I went in on
Wednesday to the doctor for blood work and an ultrasound. They said everything
looked great and my body is responding to the medication perfectly!! That was
great news (best birthday present)! So I started taking Estrace 2 pills twice a
day and a baby aspirin. I am still taking my Lupron shots but did get to
decrease the dose from 10 units to 5 units. I was hoping that would help the
headaches but no such luck. They seem to bother me the most in the middle of
the night or should I say early morning. I usually wake up about 12am-1am and
have the worst headache ever!

My next
appointment is on the 20th for more blood work and an ultrasound to
check my uterine lining. It is hard to believe 2 weeks after that ultrasound is
the transfer week!!
With the transfer
day approaching I have been thinking a lot about how many embryos the intended
parents are going to decide to transfer. I agreed to transfer no more than two.
The last time I saw them they were still not sure if they were going to transfer
1 or 2. The RE told us that the chances of getting pregnant I we transfer one
is 40% and the chances of getting pregnant if we transfer 2 is 70%. I am a
little nervous to carry twins however; I do believe either way that it will
turn out wonderful.
Everything
is moving right along! I am all smiles through the headaches and the hot
flashes…this is a dream come true! My cheeks hurt from smiling all the time =)
Carrying twins isn't that bad. They don't have as much space to move, so there isn't the somersaulting you get with one. WhatEVER the Lord has planned, I know He will see you through.
