FET 4: Lining check

This was my day.... unedited.

7:30 AM - Lining check was this morning. Doc said lining was just at the minimum of 8 mm. What? Seriously? Of all my appointments ever, lining was never an issue. The last ERA cycle lining was close to 12 mm or something. Why is this happening?? Bloodwork uneventful.

8:12 AM - The appointment ended pretty quickly so I had about 20 min before needing to be at work. I was thinking of running to Starbucks but then had a better idea. Instead of standing in line at Starbucks, I went to the nearest early voting place and stood in line there! The lines were long but they were moving pretty quickly so I was in and out within 30 minutes. #MakingHERstery #imwithher #gotasticker

11:04 AM  - I'm trying not to freak out. I know that it's the minimum but I think it's on the right side of minimum. That's what Google says, anyway. I just really don't like being on the edge like that. They did mention it has the triple line so at least we have that. This was never an issue, why is this happening now? I'm so nervous about next steps. What does this mean? Will they cancel the cycle? Delay? Do they give it another chance to grow and then check again? If that's the case, what happens to my 6 days of progesterone? Ahhhh! I'm so worried. I can't focus on anything. They took blood to make sure I didn't ovulate so they're going to wait for results to call me.

11:53 AM - No update yet. Still thinking about it.

12:01 PM - I woke up this morning at 5:12 AM and am now reconsidering the decision to quit my newish 1-cup-a-day instant coffee habit cold-turkey.

1:43 PM - It's still early. They should call soon. On the plus side, "not thinking about it" translated into incredible productivity at work.

2:36 PM - Why haven't they called yet?

3:12 PM - THE CALL!  Lining is at 8.69 mm and E2 at 467.  Anything above an 8 is "excellent" and good to start PIO. YAY!!!  I asked about other cycles where lining was so much thicker and the nurse said that it can vary between cycles but as long as it's over 8mm it's fine regardless of how much higher. It's basically a pass/fail and I passed.

3:13 PM - decorating nursery in my mind jk

So excited! I know I should be guarded and protect my heart from another potential failure but I'm just jumping in with both feet. So until our first beta tells me otherwise, I'm happy to get this show on the road!!

 6:30 PM - PIO shot. Oh right, this again.
