FET #4, CD8-17

CD8: Well, after FINALLY getting to talk to Martha (the nurse in AZ) everything is set for my last FET on Aug 3.  I JUST bought plane tickets, which were more than double the price since the last time we did this.  I'm not really sure why prices to Tucson are so high this time of year as really, who wants to go to the hottest place on earth right now?  At least I found a great deal on a Marriott hotel for only $59/night.  DH will be going with me and my wonderful mother will be watching Skittle for us.  I also found out that I only have four embryos left so this will indeed be the last time we travel to AZ for FETs.  It makes me so so sad to think that two more of our babies didn't make it.  We've gone from 13 embryos down to only four. 

CD12: The u/s didn't go so well today.  I was feeling ovulation pains and was praying that I was wrong.  I have a 12mm follicle on my left ovary that's trying to become dominate and ovulate.  Also, my lining is only at 7mm.  It would be nice if Martha would call be back so I can figure out what to do.  Do we have to cancel this FET???

CD14:  I FINALLY heard from Martha today.  I've had to bump up my Estrace to 6mg a day (that's the highest dose allowable) but at least the FET is still on.  I failed to mention to her that I feel like I'm ovulating.  I hope I didn't mess things up.  I've got EWCM, something I haven't had AT ALL during the last three FETs.  NOT GOOD.

CD17: I started PIO tonight.  I was given a prescription cream to help with the pain and allergic reaction and as of right now, it's working.  The needle actually didn't hurt this time!  Thank you Lord!  What I've discovered is that the location where I'm supposed to do the shot is the same spot when my Fibro is bad.  I can't lean against a counter because of the pain in my butt/hip and that's where the shot is supposed to go.  No wonder it hurts!  I always thought that when people said "PIO isn't that bad" or "PIO doesn't hurt" that they were a bunch of liars, but turns out they might be right...maybe it isn't so bad for those without Fibro. 

I think my next post will be after the transfer on Friday.  Thank you to everyone who have been praying for me again.  The prayers have been felt!
