I started the hormone dots today, as well as the viagra suppository. I have been on Lupron 5mg and baby aspirin for 2 days now. Just so you know the suppository is vaginal. It doesn't come with any kind of device to inset it, so I have to do it the old fashioned way; with my fingers. Let me tell you, its extremely gross. Especially since I am still bleeding from being on my period. Granted, it's really just spotting, but it's still gross.
I am not a fan of this viagra suppository. I feel yucky on it. It lowers your blood pressure to increase the blood flow to the uterus. I certainly do not need lower blood pressure. The shots have been no big deal this time, mostly because I am still numb from my c-section so I can't feel the shots. I have not been bruising like I did before either. However, I did start the aspirin two days ago, so the bruising may start.
I stay on the dots and everything else until my appointment Jan 13, 2020.
Sir Chance seems to have fallen off the bed. Off to check on him.....

The Last Beginning
Well, I got my flowsheet for the last time. Flowsheet are the instructions for the FET (frozen embryo transfer). I started the BCPs 3 weeks ago.
I take the active pills until Dec 23. I start the Lupron shots Dec 20th, along with the prenatal vitamin. I take the shots, 10 units sub-q every morning until Dec 29, then I lower the dose to 5 units every morning. On Dec 30th, I start taking 81mg aspirin (baby aspirin) every day. On Dec 31st, I start the hormone patches (vivelle dots) and the Viagra vaginal suppository. I apply 1 dot every other day until Jan 2nd, when I start applying 2 dots every other day. Starting Jan 6th, I apply 3 dots every other day. This lasts until Jan 10th, when I start applying 4 dots every other day. I am taking the shots, aspirin, and suppositories every day along with the dots. I go to the clinic Jan 13 for my first US and blood work. The last day to transfer in the cycle is Jan 31st. I haven't ever been ready at the first of the cycle; I am usually closer to the end of the cycle.
We know the sex of the embryo, it's just a matter of her surviving the thaw, and then sticking and growing for 39 weeks.
It is a v very stressful time for me. I am scared and excited all at the same time. How will we handle two kids?? Three year old Sir Chance and an infant. How will Sir Chance take having a baby in the house? We wanted to get him potty trained before the new baby comes, but I am not sure that is going to happen. He just isn't interested like he was when he was 17 months. Had I not gotten sick, he would be potty trained already. Thanks niece for that sickness.
So, we are going on this journey one last time.
