Transfer Scheduled!!

Transfer is scheduled for next Wednesday, September 18th!  I can't believe it's finally here!

Everything was set in motion Wednesday and the eggs are being retrieved today.  The embryos will develop for 5 days and then be transferred sometime Wednesday.  I'll be flying out next Tuesday and coming back Saturday morning.  So please get your prayer engines ready for next week.  All of us involved would certainly appreciate it!

My biggest "job" right now is making sure I take all of my meds.  Right now that is the estrogen, progesterone, and doxycycline (an antibiotic to help prevent infection during the transfer).  I just started the progesterone yesterday and let me tell you, that one is a ball of fun.  It's an intramuscular injection with a LONG needle right in the rear once a day.  R has the pleasure of sticking me first thing in the morning, lucky guy.  The hardest part is that it's actually progesterone in oil, so I'm injecting oil into the muscle.  Needless to say, it really just wants to sit there and make me really, really sore.  I'm slowly learning some tricks on how to get it spreading, but it still makes for a really sore bottom.  I better get used to it though, I get to keep these up right through the first trimester. So worth it though!

What a pain in the ass.....ha!
