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.
