Hi! This has been an intense last few months. It has gone by really quickly, but has been keeping us a little on edge. Of course, all for good reasons.

We have gotten the next set of medications in the mail and are ready for the next step. I will go off of the birth control pill on May 10th (I’ll take it that day and be done). I will wait for my next cycle to start, which will only be 2-3 days after my last pill. The day my cycle starts I will call the office to let them know and see what’s next.

From what I’ve gathered from my last appointment I will go in for a base ultrasound around the first few days of my cycle. I’ll start a round of estrogen for approximately 18 days and then give myself progesterone injections for about 6 days before the transfer. I’m not sure exact days for the medication, I just remember the above being said. I think I’ll continue the progesterone after the transfer as well. In the medication box I also got some prednisone-so I’m not sure how/when I will take that yet. I’ll find out soon though.

After reading more on the doctors website, I found out so much more information than what I knew or remember. And I read the entire website when I was researching this before I even called them. It’s crazy what your brain doesn’t retain. So, when we are in doubt we will go to the website for sure and get some answers.

I have never been able to take certain birth control pills throughout my years of having a cycle. One way or another each pill affected me some how. I ended up with a migraine this past Saturday and then again late Monday that went into Tuesday. I’m not sure it has anything to do with the pill, but I haven’t had one in a long time. I am counting down the days I have to take it. Only 2 more. 🙏😃

I also have been so much more emotional lately. Chalking that up to all of the hormones too! Just this morning driving to work I bet I teared up like 6 times on a 30 minute drive. Lol 😂 fun times!!

This is kind of a boring post, but we just wanted to update those that have been reading and waiting. We are thinking the first week of June for the embryo transfer and are so excited!

As always, thank you for your continued thoughts, prayers, love, good wishes and for reading our blog!

❤️🙏😘
