Why haven't they called yet? They always call between 1-2! Was something wrong? Was my blood work screwed up? Did they see something during my ultrasound? I will give them until 3 before I call/have a complete melt down.
Yup - that was me. Bat shit crazy! I was so used to being called at the same time after every appointment, that when it didn't happen I took a turn to crazy town.
After I picked bug up from daycare I could hear my phone buzzing.....it was 'that' number'. Nurse Lisa - no clue who she is - was calling to tell me we have a transfer date! Thank you Jesus! She asked if they had my permission to thaw the embryo's....plural???? unless another one spontaneously appeared, we only have 1 swan! Yes, yes you have my permission. She then gave me my instructions for the PIO shots and to continue the estrace 2x a day.
PIO shots..........those fucking things hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never had to be on them before, so when it came time to give the shot, I couldn't stop shaking! This needle is gigantic! I'm going to hit an organ! *knowing that would not be the case* I made sure I watched a video on YouTube (thank you ladies for making instructional videos!) and off I went. Grabbed my frozen bag of corn, the syringe, 22 gauge needle to replace the 18 gauge, alcohol wipes, hot cloth.
The video I watched showed me how to properly inject in the lower part of your back....place frozen veggies on spot for a few minutes, clean area, put majority of weight on left side so your muscles don't tense, stretch the skin, inject slowly. Put hot cloth on and massage for 5-10 minutes.
Mother of Pearl that sucked! I cannot imagine having to continue on these - God willing if all goes well - for 10 weeks. I would much rather shove suppositories up my lady bits than do this.
Tonight I might try the tops of my thighs.......just thinking about it makes me squeamish!
