Happy News

The doctors.  The bottom guy is my main doctor.

This morning I went to the doctor by myself.  I was so nervous that I ended up crying when the doctor walked in.  I told him I was nervous for the results of the ultrasound.  I really just want the process to work.  He listened for a minute and was really nice.  I eventually got my ultrasound and then did blood work, but not before I got black squares on my booty.  I made sure to bring my own permanent marker so my nurse, Chelsea, could mark on my toosh where the shots are supposed to go.  Progesterone therapy starts on Thursday!

Later this afternoon I found out that my lining is at 10.7 and my estrogen level is at 399 (they just wanted it above 300, but my body went above and beyond).  These results mean we have a transfer date set!  Our embryo will move into my uterus on Tuesday May 3rd!  If emojis worked on this blog I would add the excited and shocked faces right here.

Update on Lupron Shots--They've been causing me a lot of pain the past few days so I went with no ice tonight and it was better.  Apparently my body just likes variety--before I couldn't do it unless I had ice!
I am so glad I got that second bottle because last night I had to use it!

Funny note-- While volunteering this afternoon I introduced myself to someone new.  They responded by saying that was an unusual way to pronounce my name.  I thought that was a strange thing to say until I looked down and realized I was wearing the wrong name tag.  At least it had the same letters, but my name is Carlie!  Claire is actually on our baby list.  Kind of ironic, eh?

BTW--I am not the only one doing shots right now, Seth has had 3 of 4 antibiotic shots.  Tomorrow is his final one!
