Guess what? It’s
Spring! We scheduled our FET cycle to
start in February. Compared to IVF it has
been a CAKE WALK. I called Captain the
day I got my period and she started me on estrogen to help the lining of my
uterus get nice and thick so hopefully we could get an embryo or two to hang
around this time. My uterus took it’s
time, probably because she had been out of commission for a while. During our sabbatical I had taken the actives
of my birth control consecutively so everything had been sort of shut down for
nine weeks.
My body did eventually cooperate though. A few weeks, two ultrasounds and a million
tinny tabs of estrogen later, our transfer was scheduled for March 3rd. I did have to start those pesky progesterone
injections again, but at least I got to skip the stims, retrieval, and the
whole bloating up to the size of a house thing.
The transfer itself was pretty much the same as last time
minus the selfies. I also practiced for
about a week timing my bladder to figure out exactly how long it took for a
bottle of water to fill my bladder and then how long after that I could hold
it. I was determined to fill my OWN
bladder the natural way this time! I even
managed to hop into the chair like a pro!
Third time’s a charm I guess. I
was on bed rest again for 24 hours and then I put myself on a modified bed rest
the following 24 hours. I figured better
safe than sorry.
