Suppression Check

Suppression Check looked good this morning!  I start a steroid tomorrow and two shots on Saturday.  We are doing an "antagonist protocol" cycle this time in hopes that my estrogen level doesn't get too high again and to minimize the risk of extremely painful OHSS (when I gained almost 10 pounds in my stomach overnight).  I gotta be as healthy as possible for a fresh transfer!  My doctor also told me that I have to do all these new shots in my belly (no more legs) so that will be interesting.  

My arm creases are starting to get tender!  I really don't like doing the blood draws anymore.  I had such a hard time falling asleep last night because I was so worried about the draw this morning.  Luckily, it didn't hurt going in, but I felt like the blood just wasn't moving out of my skin.  I go in for 3 next draws next week.  

My estrogen level is "rock bottom" and my lining was thin so we can continue to move forward.  I guess the low estrogen explains my "ugh" feeling.

Our pharmacy forgot to deliver my medicine today.  Thankfully I remembered that they usually send a delivery email the night before and I didn't get one yesterday.  I called this morning and they didn't send it through.  It should be here by tomorrow at noon though.  I will be sorely disappointed if it's not!

  1. Oh my gosh! You go through so much and have so many steps to get to our final goal...having your babies! That stinks that you have to get so many blood draws and so many shots. I don't know how you do it! You're amazing!!! Hope your medicine from the pharmacy arrives tomorrow! Love you! Mom
