WE ARE SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY!

Ok lots has happened since my last post..we are soo close to my transfer now..im getting anxious! I finally got my period about 4 days late on Feb 8th. I started testing for my LH surge(ovulation) on the 18th I was worried about missing it but alas I did not! yay.. I tested positive on Tuesday 21st in the evening..it really helped to have used more than one test at a time cause I tell you sometimes I just wasnt sure whether it was telling me that it was positive or negative.. I used the Answer & Clearblue easy brand ovulation kits..Monday the 20th , prior to testing positive, I had an Ultrasound to determine approximately when I was going to ovulate...My right ovary showed one follicle(egg) was already at 17mm big! and that my uterine lining was starting to thicken. They were right on when they told me that I probably will ovulate on the 21st or 22nd..crazy how accurate the drs are ;) You know with this process it is amazing to be able to get to see, from an internal point of view, my body preparing itself for pregnancy..rather than just guessing ....and how it does it soo well and naturally without the help of meds ;)..first round it was all forced with the meds so that didnt really count lol...I think its kinda neat to me to see  ;)...

So after I tested positive for my LH surge I alerted the Clinic and was scheduled for another Ultrasound on Thursday 23rd to confirm whether I had indeed ovulated. The ultrasound showed that I had indeed ovulated and that my uterine lining was pretty thick..they like to see it about at least 7mm thick and mine was 12mm soo we are more than good ;) Dr. was very pleased with what she saw. She determined that she would schedule me for the transfer on Sunday the 26th. They started me on the Methylpred 4 pills a day for 4 days (it makes me feel a little bit yucky, which could be worse so im ok with feeling a little bit yucky..lol) and had me come in on Friday for a Progesterone level blood test..it needs to be greater than 3 and mine was at 10.4..really good. They, however, still want me to take more progesterone twice a day until intructed to stop...as a safety net..hopefully I wont have to take that for too long...they are taken as a suppository so they can be messy...and can make you feel icky too.

Soo now we just wait..for my transfer on Sunday, I check in at 9:55am and the procedure is scheduled to start at 10:40am...I pray that we are succesfull this time around. Although a bit anxious, I do feel this time around I am more relaxed less hormonal and wound up..that is good....definitely significantly less stressful this time around ;) Aracely
