FET #3: Baseline

It happened and we're all ok! I was so anxious about the appointment this morning but of course it was fine. And I'm fine now that it's over and we've officially started the cycle. I don't even know why I was so anxious. Everything looked good according to the ultrasound, and bloodwork came back ok so we're good to start. First del estrogen shot tonight and again every third day until further notice. I'm ok with it. It is what it is.

The appointment this morning went well. I arrived at a great time so there was no wait. I got taken back right away, quick ultrasound, painless bloodwork. (My official recorded weight today was four pounds less than what they had for me at my last retrieval which was about a month ago. Weee!) Quick and simple. I was out the door so fast that I got to work earlier than I do on regular days.

There was a little drama last night when we realized the paperwork never got signed. I had gotten it from the nurse electronically, signed it, and it was supposed to be sent to my husband for signature but he never got it. So the nurse resent it to me and said "try again." I thought she had meant for him to try again and I forwarded that email to him. He kept pushing it off because he wanted to read the document in its entirety, so it kept getting procrastinated until I said last night that it needed to be signed. So he sits down to read and sign but he never got it still from the clinic and all he had was that email I had sent. There was no one to call in the clinic and I was so upset because I knew they would delay a start without signed paperwork and having him go down there was such a waste of time. Our plan was for me to go to the clinic earlier than my scheduled appointment, have them send it to him as I'm standing there, and I would text it to him letting him know to do it now so that I could move on with the rest of the appointment.

This morning I woke up and had a thought: what if the nurse meant to tell me that I'm supposed to sign first and then a copy gets automatically sent to him? I figured it can't hurt to try so I dig up her email saying to try again, signed electronically, and a second letter he get an email. Success! I can't believe it took that much drama to figure it out. So yeah, it was technically my fault he didn't get it but had he not waited until the last minute it wouldn't have been a big deal figuring it out. All's well and that ends well.

My next appointment is in June. She told me the date to come in and I asked if it was at all possible to move it up a day since I have a huge work project happening at the same time. She said she wanted a specific number of doses first so I said no problem, we'll make it work. Obviously. I'm not postponing it. So June will be a little hectic, that's fine.

The weather is being so ridiculous. I was in a sweatshirt outside nearly the entire last week. In May! Winter: you had your turn and you didn't take it!! If we're having no Spring I demand extra days be added to fall! But it is technically almost summer and I have plans for Summer 2016.  We're looking to buy a new car in June. I also want to plan a beach vacation or maybe something to a nearby lake. I put bedroom redecorating on hold while I'm busy with work. 

 I stopped thinking about zika because it's out of my control. I got my yard sprayed and bought tons of repellent. It's been too cold to wear repellent, but I have it and will wear it daily once it gets warmer, and that's as much as I can do. It won't do me any good to agonize over it.

I'm determined to try not to take any HPTs after the transfer. I hope I stick to that. I remember how agonizing it was testing daily, sometimes multiple times. The 2ww is such a stressful time for me and I know I need to prepare in order to avoid going bonkers. I'll have to work on that.

I'm excited for the weekend just to be home and veg out!!! Yay TV and sleep!
