Holy mother of batman that needle was huge. The intramuscular injection of yet another formulation of estrogen was scary. I looked at that needle and about passed out. Thankfully, the nurse was very skilled and all I felt was a small prick. I was still bracing for a stabbing pain when she said, "Are you ok? We're done." So far I feel ok. A bit more tired but no nausea yet. High amounts of estrogen can do that.
We pick up another one of the same shots today, so it can be administered on Sunday. Thankfully my sister in law is in nursing school so she gets to stab me in the other butt cheek for practice. Yay?
So, regardless of the state of my uterine lining we are moving forward with transfer on Friday 5/23. We've done everything we could possibly do to give them their best chance of survival. I hope we can get back to at least where we were in the last cycle at 5.5mm. I go back on Monday for the last round of blood work and another "date" with the ultrasound wand.
This weekend is a family reunion in the central valley. Hopefully I won't feel too crappy and can enjoy the fun and maybe a glass of wine or two. We'll see.
Thanks for all the support and encouragement.
