This Progesterone Is Really Messing With Me

Ive been waking up EVERY morning with severe nasuea, sometimes continuing thruout the day. Im crampy, moody, feeling blah, my boobies hurt like nobodys business, I want to cry and Im tired.

We talk to our little Jelly Beans everyday and pray that everything will go just fine. Im trying to take it easy but being that I have OCD, at least thats what some people "think", I cant stop from cleaning plus cleaning relaxes my nerves.

I guess I'll go take my fat self an eat a Double Chocolate Drumstick, take my Progesterone and go lay down.

Im "Technically" Pregnant

I just hope we dont lose our babies. Ive already gone thru 2 maybe more miscarriages. As I was unpacking, I came across my "baggy" of used vials and needles we used for this cycle. I will throw them out..eventually :) The only meds Im still taking is the Progesterone

Stick Jelly Beans ~ Stick



Les got home a few mins ago and is making us pizza. Like I really need to be eating it but I am hungry. So off I go to eat with him

We're Going Home

We got up early to finish getting everything together. Les wouldnt let me lift anything. I could get used to this. We left before 11am. We stopped for gas and to eat and then headed out. I slept most the way. It also rained the enitre time. I happened to wake up, glanced to my right and saw a rainbow. I made a wish that our babies stuck around for the next 9 months so they could be welcomed into the world



We got home around 10:50pm. Loooong drive but boy were we happy to be H-O-M-E

Embie Transfer Day ~ Woohooo

The ET went smoothly. The Dr said the embies looked perfect. My beta is scheduled for April 7th. 5 days before our 5th anniversary. This is gonna be a loooooong 2 week wait

Now I just take it easy and let our babies get cozy for the next 9 months. Les has been so sweet. Its so funny watching him talk and kiss my belly. He told them:
"Hang in there, it'll be like Heaven for the next 9 months and then you have to come into the real world" Too cute

At least now we get to go home

Waiting For The Fertilization Report

I was a nervous wreck. I was scared that Id be told none made it. I was up early and call the moment I 'thought' someone would be there. I got Dr GM and he said to call back within an hr cause of the time difference. All I could do was wait.

I finally called back and with my speaking NO Spanish and the nurse speaking very little English, it was hard conveying why I was calling and why I needed to know about the report before 11am. Thats check out time at the hotel and it wouldnt be a need to stay if oue embies didnt make it. The nurse said she'd go speak with the other doctor and call me in about 30 minutes. Uuugh

30 minute mark - Dr Martinez informs me that: We have Embies. 3 of our Jelly Beans made it and my ET would be for 9am on Sunday. Thank You God. We decided we'd put back all 3 based on my age.

Egg Retrieval Day

Our egg retrieval is scheduled for 8:30 am. Well we didnt know they are an hr behind us, so we got there way early. It was REALLY crowded. Dr GM told us before hand that March is a good month to get preggers, so maybe thats why there were soo many couples there.

We finaly get called back and the nurse tells us our balance to pay $2650.00 which included the anesthesia. Apparently Dr GM hadnt informed them that we didnt have to pay that amount. Which to me shows he is definitely not in it for the money. So we had to wait until they talked with him. They finally get everything settled, we go to pay with our debit card and it kept getting declined. Well we knew the money was in there, so we asked where an ATM was and went to go withdraw the money instead. That was a no go so we had to drive back into the US. The line was long or at least it seemed that way. We get up to the US Border Patrol, he looks at our military ID's and starts asking DH questions about the difference in colors. Its Green if youre retired. He then asked why we were there and as always, everyone seems to know Dr GM, so he send us on our way and also tells us where the nearest Bank Of America is. And wouldnt you know it, Les all of a sudden decides to drive the speed limit We get the money and head back over.

We get back to the docs office and from there, its smooth sailing until I wake up. I became really sick and ended up pucking and I wont even talk about the cramps. Lets just say I was in freaking tears. The nurse did give me pain medication but it still hurt like hell.

Anywho, of the 8 follies I had, the Dr was only able to retrieve 4 eggies. He said "they" looked perfect. Ahh, how can they tell if eggs look good? I will call tomorrow morning around 9 to get the fertilization report and will be told when my ET will be.


Oh and about the card getting declined: BOA thought fraudlent charges was being made and put a block on it.

All Ive done is sleep and eat. I took an HPT and it came back positive so at least I know the trigger worked

We decided to head to head over to the beach to get out of the room but ahhh we didnt make it to the beach cause I ahh went to sleep and as soon as I got up, we headed over to Dennys..I wont even talk about what I ate. Lets just say I was so full I made Les walk around the hotel building with me TWICE

CD10 Ultarsound Report

I have a total of 8. Kinda bummed but Im ok with it. I'll take that over none. Theres 5 on the right and 3 on the left.

I take my last shot of Antagon today and will trigger tonight at 10pm. My ER is at 8:30 am Friday with ET on Monday.

Heres a picture of my follies on the right side

Missing Home

We're hanging in there.. We're gonna head out to the beach today to get out of this room. We are both missing "home" but we know we're here for a good reason. Les is learning to stay his distance cause I have been sick, tired and very moody. Last nights shots were baaaad. I had to double up on the menopur and it had me in tears almost.

CD8 Ultrasound Results

I have a few on the left which is up from none 2 days ago. The downside to this doc is that he isnt very "specific". I have a some follies at 12 and 16. He upped my Follistim to 300 iu and I start the Antagon tonight. I should be triggering Wed with my ER on Friday or Saturday and my ET on Monday
