Countdown begins...
As of today I officially have less than two weeks till the embryo transfer. I am getting more excited, and am so much more grateful to know I won't be going through the retrieval again!!! (Thank God we've only got to do that once our lifetime) I have started on the estrogen -a pill, and a patch that I wear on my stomach- After the egg retrieval, when I was really sick the doctor told me to stay on my meds as if I was going to have the transfer, just in case everything cleared up, and I took out the patch to put on my stomach (I had to wear two) and it was huge!!! Each one took up half of my lower stomach, and it looked so goofy. (what a time to be vain huh?) Thankfully the new batch I received are much smaller. I was overjoyed when I took it out of the package on Saturday and it was so much smaller than the last ones (and I only have to wear one). I haven't had too many side effects from the estrogen yet, I do get heart palpitations when I'm on it. -Basically my heart feels like it's pounding really hard in my chest every few minutes, randomly through the day- I first got them when I was on clomid, and they really scared me. The doctors did a bunch of tests -ekg's and stuff- and said there was nothing wrong, so now I know when I get them that it's no big deal... still not fun though. Other than that I'm doing pretty good right now. I had my crying spell a couple of days ago, and seem to have gotten that out of my system. All in all I can't complain, besides the OHSS, which I did recover from I haven't had alot of trouble from all these medications. -thank the Lord!- I've got another doctor's appointment on the 9th, and then the transfer on the 14th... Can you believe how quickly it's getting here??? Just continue to pray for me, I really don't take it lightly. Thanks, and I love you all. -me
