...and I forgot to post after the biopsy. Needless to say, it went fine, but it's been a very trying week. I'll start with the biopsy. I arrived right on time at 6:50a.m. and they were punctual taking me in - which was great b/c I had to motor to get back to school on time before my morning duty. Basically, I did my usual undress from the waist down and the doctor came in. There was slight cramping as he moved the catheter back and forth in my uterus, but the whole procedure took only 30 seconds.
As he was manouvering the catheter, I asked him about how this works if I shed my lining. He told me that for some reason the lining is sticky for the transfer. So I asked him, "if this transfer doesn't work will my lining still be sticky the next month." Apparently, I'd have to have the biopsy again...no pressure on me now - so much for having consecutive tries. It would be one month on and one month off. Ugh! Now I really need to decide how many embryos to transfer. I'm still hopeful for only one.
Anyway, it's a lot harder to fast for 3 hours in between med doses and be working than it is to fast during March Break. So, this week has been torture!!! And what's even worse, is that even though I've been only managing to eat small amounts of calories, due to the no snacking and feeling full from being bloated from these meds, I'm gaining weight...probably from the bloating.
And, call it "mood swings" catching up with me from the estrogen (still loving it though) and the progesterone, but last night I was a mess...I think it's b/c I've been cold all week in my classroom again (will spring ever arrive) and then I'm coming home to my parents' house (I miss my warm place so much and long for May when I'll be on my own again) which is also freezing...plus I'm feeling so hungry all the time and I can't even get the strength to do my morning workouts or get to the gym (although the foot injury keeps me away too), and I'm feeling pressure for this to work, even though I haven't even had my first try yet. But I'm glad that it's the weekend, and I only have 2 more days to take the progesterone.
2 more days of progesterone means I'm 2 days closer to getting to my transfer. I am hoping that AF comes mid week, b/c then I don't need to worry about Thursday being my CD3 - I need to be at work on Thursday. I'm hoping I can have my CD3 on Friday, Sat. or Sun.
Okay, it's been such a long week. I think I'm going to avoid the gym tomorrow morning - I can't do step class anyway, and I sure could use the time to rest and relax a little. It's been a very long week. Luckily next week is only 2 days for me :)
