So far, So good

I started meds for FET this past Saturday night (7/31)
I'm taking delestrogen (an IM injection) every 3 days and lovenox every night. And HOLY CRAP does the lovenox burn!!! I'm also on lupron, folgard and dexamethezone.

The IM injection is a lot better than I was expecting it to be, way easier than PIO.

:) I'm actually really surprised at how excited and hopeful I feel.

The weekend we were in AC, my emotions were crazy! I was crying at the drop of a hat and so freaking emotional. I blame the lupron. I spent the 2 hour bus ride home from AC crying and not being able to stop. Poor D didn't know what to do with me. Thankfully this stopped when I lowered my lupron dose.

Today, I feel excited, hopeful and blessed. I am praying so much and I really hope the lovenox is the little tweak we need to prevent another m/c.

We're also adding intralipids to my protocol and my first infusion is on Tuesday. I have E2 b/w this friday and maybe upping my delestrogen this weekend, we'll see.

and while I'm excited and hopeful, I am still really sad, especially when Sunday's come around. Sundays would have been my pregnancy milestone day and it's rough. I try to not focus on what could have been, but it does break my heart that I'm not 18 weeks pregnant. I miss my babies.

*********************************************************

I wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to my friend Lindsay for her support and unbelievable thoughtfulness. She had our baby wormies written in the sand for us, it is such a beautiful way to honor lost babies. Lindsay lost her daughter Sophia at 28 weeks and her strength both amazes and inspires me. Her FET was yesterday and I'm praying with everything I have that she gets the stickiest BFP possible. L save me a seat on the BFP train, I hope we enjoy the next part of our journey together. Thank you cutie, I hate why we met but I feel so blessed to have you in my life.

I started my Lovenox last night (previous IVF cycle I used Heparin 2x daily, but bruised so badly my doc wanted me to switch to a daily shot of Lovenox). The burn wasn't bad for me -- at least no worse than Menopur.

Best of luck with your FET!
