catching up

Oh boy....  I'm going to take a moment to apologize.  So far I am really sucking at the whole up-to-date blog thing.  I have no valid excuses...

So the cliff notes version of the last 6 weeks are as follows - everything looked great from the medical screening.  Contracts went quickly and smoothly. 

We went out for our obligatory "last sushi" meal the night after we got confirmation that everyone signed the contract.  Although it's really more of a last sashimi meal in all honesty.  I can still have sushi as long as it's cooked and low in mercury (or vegetarian).





A couple days later I got my shipment of meds.  It's the only time I get excited to be delivered a box full of GIANT needles!

I started Lupron  injections (the medicine that makes my ovaries/cycle go dormant) a week ago Tuesday.  Today I had a baseline ultrasound appointment.  They found a smallish sized cyst near my left ovary so I had to give blood so they could test my estrogen levels.  If my levels were high then it could be an active ovary follicle instead of cyst and that could throw off the cycle because my body is pumping out hormones at the wrong time.  But if my levels were low then they could determine that it really was just a cyst and it wouldn't be an issue.  Luckily it was the latter!   So tonight I start with the estrogen patches to start thickening my lining.

Today I also got to meet P, the intended father, for the first time.  He wasn't at all what I expected, not in a good or bad way, just different.  He's got a great sense of humor and we bonded over our love of zombies.  =)

Lining check ultrasound is a week from Wednesday!   The transfer should be the week after that!
