Not much has been happening. On Feb 18 I started lupron and waited for menses. I came yesterday......which means, the real fun starts.
I called my doctor yesterday to let her know I had started. They worked out when I would transfer and called me back. I transfer on Friday, March 20. When the nurse said that, my gut clenched! I actually started shaking a little bit. It's real. It's actually going to happen.
Tomorrow (March 1) I start baby aspirin, estrace, and pull mt 0.2mL lupron shot to 0.05mL. In a week I get my endometrium size checked to see if my body is properly "nesting". If it is I start progesterone shots (IM).
Oh, I've heard horrible things about IM progesterone. It's in oil and the oil apparently builds up in my skin giving me painful knots at the injection sites.
If all goes to plan (which when has it?) I'm off work March 20 and have two thawed 5-day blasts inserted into my body. I start the dreaded two week wait where I go back for a pregnancy test. So, counting today, I'll know in 35 days.........wow.
Am I doing the right thing? I can still back out. I like my life without children. *sigh* I know it's all worth it in the end. I just feel out of control. For a perfectionist control freak like me, that is not a good feeling.
Just keep on keeping on as Joe Dirt would tell me......

Good luck to you too. Thanks for your comment to me, but I'm curious what is OHSS? I'm still very new to all these procedures. In my injection class, the lady told us to massage the area after giving the "oil" shot, to spread it around. Hopefully, you will not get those painful knots.
