Almost Time!

Went to the clinic Friday (16th) to have an ultrasound of the lining of my uterus.  I also had my progesterone and estradiol levels as well.  My progesterone level is 0.18 and my estradiol level is 262.6.  My uterus looked perfect.  I'm well on my way to having a baby.

My transfer will be Sept 26th at 1400.  I start my PIO (progesterone in oil) shots on Wednesday 21st. I have stopped the Viagra.  I am glad as it gave me terrible headaches.  Can't wait until I don't have to take all these pills and shots.

Progress

Just a quick update:  I have been on my shots, vivelle dots (hormone patches), and Viagra for a minute now.  The Viagra kills me. It lowers my BP so quickly, I have an untreatable headache for several hours after it kicks in.  It also gives me horrible heartburn.  This went on for a couple of days before I finally read the side effects and learned, goes what??, heartburn and headaches are a side effect.  Now, most people's wouldn't be untreatable, but mine are because I am not allowed to take any NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc), and I am allergic to Tylenol.  So yeah, untreatable headache.
For those of you that don't know me personally, I have lost approx 40 pounds in the past year and a half (two years first of Dec).  I went from 194 to (as of this morning) 151.7 pounds.  Not sure why people (ahem, my friends - you know who you are) didn't tell me I was fat!!!  My gaol is eventually to get down to 135, but I am hoping this weight loss helps my chances of getting preggo.  It helps most women ovulate, but obviously that isn't the reason I have to use IVF to get preggo.
Anyway, to day is Sunday Sept 11.  I go Friday (Sept 16) for my lining check and blood work.  Getting super close to transfer day.  I need everyone's prayers (if that's what you do).  We really want this transfer to work.  Nothing else exciting is happening at the moment.  So until next time.....
