Frozen Embryo Transfer!!!

Thanks to a VERY generous anonymous family member, we have the funds needed to proceed with a frozen embryo transfer (FET)! God has been INCREDIBLY good to us this whole process. It can be hard to see His hand guiding and comforting us when we are in the midst of trials, but when our eyes are opened it is amazing to see how much He has done for us!

But that’s a different post.

I was luckily in that my period happened just at the right time! At the last appointment with my doc, he called in birth control pills so we can control when my cycle happens- they make sure to align it with your doctor’s schedule too so they can be the one doing your transfer. But! Mine happened at a good time, AND we could pay! So we were able to jump right in to a transfer without needing the birth control.

Got all the paperwork with the medication schedule attached- looks like the only meds I’ll need is estrogen pills taken 3x daily (to start), and once the transfer happens we get to add those wonderful butt shots of progesterone yay.

Had my baseline appointment on Friday- which was very embarrassing for me as I was on my period and they had to do an ultrasound, yuck. They’re used to it though and luckily the female doctor doing it was very gentle, it didn’t hurt at all!

New IVF socks ❤️❤️

The blood work on the other hand was TERRIBLE! There is one nurse who does it and is so good at it, chats the whole time and always find my vein... and the other nurse (who I had) stuck the needle in at a 90degree angle and them twisted it around to my vein!! Ugh!!! It hurt so bad!

But everything came back normal, nice quiet ovaries and everything. So the next couple Fridays are gonna be more appointments, and hopefully our transfer day will be on FEBRUARY 13!!!!! I am SO EXCITED!!!!!
