Second Ultrasound Results!!!!!!!

Yesterday I had my second and last ultrasound before the transfer! I was on pins and needles all night waiting to hear the results. Finally they are in….(drum roll)…..Again the blood work was perfect!! This time during the ultrasound they were more concerned with the thickness of my uterine lining. It has to be at least 7mm…..and it was perfect!!! This was a great way to start my day!!

Now I just continue my daily shots of Lupron, Estrace twice a day, baby aspirin, and huge prenatal vitamin until I hear from the clinic again and then will start my Progesterone in Oil shots. I have been psyching myself out these past couple days about this shot. The needle is much larger!  I will also begin Prometrium capsules vaginally (yes…unfortunately you did read that right) in the evenings. These meds will continue until a positive pregnancy test.

I love that last sentence! UNTIL A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST!!!  It still hasn’t sunk in that this is actually happening. My dear husband and I knew we didn’t want any more children of our own so I honestly never thought I would ever see another positive pregnancy test!! But this dream is coming true…and not just for me but for another family and that is amazing!!

On another note: One side effect of the Estrace pills I am taking is breast tenderness. Well according to a medical dictionary here is the definition of tenderness:

·         tenderness /ten·der·ness/ (ten´der-nes) a state of unusual sensitivity to touch or pressure.

OK. Welp let me just say whom ever wrote the side effects for Estrace was definitely a man. This is NOT sensitivity. This is I want to go in my garage and fire up the chain say and chop off my breasts kind of thing. I didn’t even know it was possible for something to hurt this bad!! What too much info?? That’s what  I am here for! Hey it isn’t all roses….however my headaches have lightened up a bit since I decreased the Lupron. Not sure about my mood swings…you would have to ask my husband  =)

I am all smiles throbbing, excrutiating, hurting, agonizing, burining, uncomfortable  breasts and all! Blessed.
