Hi! I’ve been on the “lovely” estrogen now for about 18ish days. Whoa, have I noticed some side effects. I feel like a swollen version of myself. Mood swings are great. Sad sometimes, snappy sometimes. You know all of that fun stuff as I am typing sarcastically. 😜

Today I start the progesterone shots again. If we were doing the actual embryo transfer cycle, Monday would be the transfer day. However, we are not. We are doing the cycle as if we were going to do the transfer, except we are doing the biopsy of the endometrium instead. That is scheduled for this Monday.

From what I take from the past, after we do the biopsy, I would guess that I will go off of the medication and wait for my period. I’m hoping then we will start the next cycle as the transfer cycle.

So, I definitely am feeling the hormones, but I don’t mind. I know all that is happening is worth it. And, I have something to blame my mood swings on. Haha

The nurses at my doctors office have been amazing. Every time I go there they make sure I’m ok. They go out of their way to check on me, to see how I am doing emotionally. They really care about their patients and it shows. I’m super happy with them. The doctor has been on vacation so I haven’t seen him lately.

I should definitely know what’s happening next by next week when I post again.

Thanks so much for checking in on us. As always, you all are so appreciated!!

Xoxo ❤️🙏🤞💕🥰
