Hall of Us

 Embaby update first: I had my mock transfer almost 2 weeks ago and got my results back last Friday. The biopsy of my endometrial lining came back as "receptive" meaning I can go ahead and keep my meds the same for my transfer cycle! 5 days after my ERA the office called and said I was overdue for a saline sonogram. I've had one done in the past and they found a mass they had to remove. Given that previous finding and the fact that I only have a single embryo I didn't want to take any chances. "GREAT" I thought as I scheduled it for the following day. I got the sonogram done which was NOT pleasant at all, but I managed to make it through (then I drove all the way home from Houston afterwards so I was miserable). The test looked good and the doctor assured me there was no harm to continuing with the embryo transfer this cycle. However, being the worrier that I am I said I would feel more comfortable if we waited until our next cycle. Needless to say our tran...

 Today is the day I go in and see how receptive my uterus is going to be for our lone embryo. I have been on estrogen pills for about 2.5 weeks and last night was my 5th progesterone shot in preparation for my ERA (endometrial receptivity assay) today. It's basically a biopsy of the uterus that will tell us if we can keep my medication protocol the same or if we need to change it up a little before my actual FET (frozen embryo transfer). To say I'm a little on edge would be a huge understatement. I haven't been concerned about this procedure until last night. I know I need to have it done, but the last biopsy I had done showed cervical cancer so I'm a little wigged out. That coupled with the fact that they will be accessing my uterus (which was a massive headache to endure when I had my IUI) has increased my anxiety ten-fold. Let's not forget to mention the lack of sleep I've endured since starting the progesterone shots because I have to pee 5 times a night. W...
