FET #4

CD1 was on Sunday so we are officially on course for the next transfer. It seems surreal to be talking about FET #4.

I didn't meet my goal of losing 20 lbs by start of this next transfer date and I'm ok with it. In fact, I stopped weighing myself all together. I've been really good about eating right and exercising. I've been working out officially on Tuesdays and Thursdays with cardio and weights, and walking around the neighborhood on other days. I feel great. I always felt good about my body so that was never a motivator, but I feel good about the changes and don't need to constantly check the numbers on the scale. I also saw some recent pictures of myself and I'm not displeased. Of course there's always room for improvement, but nothing I'm losing sleep over.

Once I started BC pills again the nausea was back. I always forget how much the transition from no-hormones to hormones affects me. Not being on any meds is so blissful.

I got my timeline for the transfer. My nurse specifically worked around the dates of the Jewish holidays so it turns out that my baseline is the day after Yom Kippur - which is great for my baseline weight but terrible for bloodwork. I have to make sure to drink a lot the night after the fast.

My nurse also send a prescription for the meds to a new pharmacy in Miami because apparently there's a national shortage of Delestrogen. Who knew fertility meds would be in such demand. I have some to get me started but I'd definitely need a refill, especially if the pregnancy takes.

We're waiting to hear back about the ERA II results, but I'm not anxious about results this time. They'll come when they come. It's a 2 week wait and I'm not going to drive myself nuts waiting on the edge of my seat. We think we know the results and are just waiting for confirmation. If it's what we think it is then there's no rush. If it's something different then I'm in no hurry to throw that monkey wrench into the schedule. With the holiday next week keeping me busy, it should be Wednesday before I need to follow up and hopefully by then the results will be in.
