With the ultrasound looking great, I anxiously awaited my bloodwork results. I got the call from the nurse that afternoon. She said everything looked great and that we are all scheduled for transfer on 9/17/14! I screamed a little inside, but simply said, "That's great!".
I am soooo happy to only have 2 more Lupron injections. This drug is not very fun...at all. I had nasty headaches last time. This time, I have bladder spasms. Yes, you read that right - bladder. spasms. Apparently around 3% of people get them while taking Lupron. It just so happens that I am in that measly 3%. These are so unpleasant and uncomfortable, as you can imagine!!! It's happening about every 20-30 seconds, literally. I'm praying the spasms go away after I finish the medicine.
We move on to the big boys on Friday - the PIO injections in my rear. This is the one that my hubby gives me each morning with the honkin 1.5 inch needle. He will continue giving them to me until we are through the first trimester. My upper tush on both sides will be quite tender for awhile. I think I was sore for about 3 months after the final injection last time. A midst my complaining, it is ALL totally and completely worth it. I do what I have to do in order to help these amazing people have another baby. I feel it's such a teensy price to pay to get the amazing outcome of a new little life. The looks on their faces when D was born is something I will never forget. I knew absolutely immediately that I would do it again. And here we are!! That's all there is to it.
If I don't write before the big day, please send happy, sticky thoughts and/or prayers for all of us and that little embryo that will be thawing and rapidly growing before we even get to PA. I'm hoping things go as smoothly as last time. Thank you all for your support. It means the world to us!!! Love you!
