First Appointment

Last Friday I went to the office of the specialist whose care I will be in for the first trimester of the pregnancy.  I was so happy to find an office on the same floor of the same building of the same hospital of my normal ob/gyn, so at least going there feels familiar.

They were so sweet to me in the office!  Everyone treated me like I was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  I suppose they see a lot of heartache in those walls, so maybe it's encouraging for them to meet someone else just trying to make a little bit of difference for someone else.  Or maybe they just heard a good joke. I don't know, but it was a good experience.

All of my tests came back great.  My lining and ovaries were doing just what they should, and whatever they tested for in my blood was great!  Woo-hoo!  I like doing well on tests....

I just started the hormone replacement Estradiol.  I think what is going on is that I need the Estradiol to build up my lining because normally follicles produce Estradiol, and the Lupron shut down the follicle production....I think. Anyway, I'm on Lupron and Estradiol now, and having no noticeable effects.

We are getting so much closer to the transfer and I am so excited!  Please be in prayer for the eggs (not mine) to develop well, too.  That's an important part! 

That's all for now. Off to clean out closets and make a trip to Goodwill...
