We have a plan. We have a drug list. And, in just a month and a half, we should have a baby baking away.
My trial transfer and sonohistogram went really well today, despite the fact that we were never told these procedures have to be done at a certain point in the cycle, and I am just now at the end of my last cycle. We were able to proceed, though, and the trial transfer went well. There were no problems navigating the catheter, so the real deal should go quite smoothly. The sonohistogram was *incredibly* painful but positive. The doctors saw no reason why I shouldn’t be able to sustain a pregnancy. Yay!
We spent quite a while with injection training, the same class I had to take several months ago. It was much more bearable, though, because I knew I was going to be taking the shots and because the teacher was different. Joe had a great time learning how to give shots. He didn’t really seem to understand that he wasn’t the one receiving the shots, though.
Then he found out he would be able to give me shots (a *lot* of shots, I might add), and he was quite happy. He was told to inject the needle like a dart. He had fun practicing, and said that it works a lot better if he stands a little ways back from the target. I told him it wasn’t a *real* dart.
I start the medicines around the middle of next month, and my transfer will be in the middle of March. I’ll likely be pregnant on my birthday, but I won’t be able to test until the week after. Cross your fingers for us!
I hope we hear good news in the next couple of months 🙂 I wish we could settle down, sell our house and move to WA, so I would feel 100% ready to start really trying.
jenn – i hope to have good news to share! i hope you guys get moved soon so you can move on and start a family. 🙂
That’s so exciting & time has really gone by fast~I remember you posting about this & it seemed so long til March but it has flown by! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you guys & keeping you in my prayers. Good luck & keep us posted 🙂
Keeping toes and fingers crossed!
ooooooo Many good vibes your way!!! All the best of luck. my ‘friend’ is going to be getting accupuncture tp help her concieve due to cysts (alot of) on her overies. I love hearing about people trying for babies! I hope you get knocked up with a bundle of joy soon!!
Good luck! My husband is a paramedic and usually loves giving shots and starting IVs, but I had him give me an allergy shot once and he did not handle it well. Haha.
I’m glad to see you going through all the procedures with a sense of humor… keep it up and best of luck to all of you! 🙂
Hope all goes well and you become pregnant!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Best Wishes to you…. get loads of sleep NOW! LOL

karen – thanks!!
ladygrace – i hope so too! i can’t wait to get nice and fat. 🙂
corrin – i don’t envy joe. i give myself a shot every week for arthrits, so i’m fine with giving myself the other shots. i wouldn’t want to give one to him though!
daria – i’m trying to keep laughing. it’s the only way to not go insane with stress.
christina – thanks! me too!
lisa – thanks! we need all the good luck we can get. 🙂
christina – thanks! i wish i could do nothing but sleep all day!
julie – thanks!
sadie – i can’t wait until we have good news to share!
Good luck! We’re in the middle of a FET cycle at the moment. Had the transfer last week and keeping fingers crossed. I wish you all the best!
We originally planned that I would give my wife her injections as she has a fear of needles, but it ended up that she was more comfortable doing it herself as she felt more in control.
Again .. best of luck!
I wish you guys the best of luck! It sound very, very hopeful and positive! I know that this will be THE year for you. Can’t wait to follow your pregnancy and hear about your experiences. We’re considering trying for our third next year around this time! 🙂 Maybe … not sure yet!
Oh all the very best of luck to you both! How exciting! Mine’s almost full grown, sort of makes me wish….
