I just gave myself my second-first shot of Lupron. Of course I worked myself all in a tizzy about it, and then I didn’t feel a thing. 🙄 Maybe one day I’ll learn.
The good thing is, it means we are officially on the countdown to transfer!! July 3rd has been mentioned for a few weeks, but I didn’t receive my calendar until yesterday, and they overnighted my meds, so it feels all kinds of crazy, but I’m so excited I’m FINALLY here again. I was introduced to this couple through my agency and was initially told their Dr. wouldn’t work with me. However, I busted my butt and stifled my sweet tooth, and finagled my way into an interview with their clinic. My charm and personality won him over 😉 He said I was “good stock”, so...... yeah. It was an interesting conversation, but hey, all that matters is I get to make this sweet couple a family. They live in Frisco but are originally from Venezuela. The husband has family here, but this baby would be the first on the wife’s side. They have one baby girl embryo and are planning for another egg retrieval for a sibling journey later on. She has had issues with fibroids for years and was told she couldn’t carry. We’ve already nicknamed this baby “Firecracker” and can’t wait to get her growing!!
Thankfully, this clinic is quite a bit calmer on the med protocol. I will inject Lupron every morning until 6/30, I start estrogen patches on the 14th, and progesterone shots on the 28th and will continue those and the patches until I’m 10-12 weeks along and am released to my OB to treat this like it was my own pregnancy. That puts my due date at mid-March! Which for me means early March since I’ve never made it past 37 weeks, but she may have different plans and hang out longer. We shall see!
