Monitoring Appointment #2

Ohhh Friday how I have looked forward to you all week!

 John ended up getting food poisoning from a pot luck lunch at work so I have been in OCD cleaning mode. Thankfully he is feeling better but I am completely exhausted. With his new job he has started working 12 hour shifts which means I have to rush home on days that he works so that I can let Harlow out.... so I end up getting to work earlier than normal to make sure I get everything taken care of. Plus my little side business has kept me busy annnnnd on top of that I must get all my wife duties done too (cooking, laundry, packing lunches, dishes, etc).

But I am going to stop complaining because I have a wonderful family and the best job ANNNND we have had so many great things going on this week!

This morning I met with Dr. Meyer to check on my follicles and lining. I have over 20 follicles that are all growing nicely. Those doctors do a great job of making me feel good when they talk about how well my ovaries respond! It's nice to have some positive feedback when I have heard so much negative the past year and a half or so.

As far as my lining goes... it has grown from 3.7 to 4.9mm. Ideally Dr. Meyer said he would like to see it at 8 but he said it was still early and not to worry. He said that he is not as worried about the size of my lining as he is the pattern and shape. He shared that the shape and pattern of my lining look FABULOUS which is what matters most! And there is no evidence of scar tissue, the color looks great, it's triamular, and the shape is good. We are moving forward... Progress is good!!

Tonight I continue on the same medicines but add in the antagon shot to make sure I don't ovulate. My next appointment is Monday morning. This is a big day for us. Dr. Meyer will let us know if we get to transfer or not - he did e-mail me today and said that he thinks we will be able to but he will know more on Monday.

Although we have had a great week with a lot of good news, we need not slow down on our prayers. Thank you all for continuing to send us thoughtful text messages and letting us know you are continuously praying for us. It truly brightens up our days! AND our prayers are being heard.
