Tomorrow is...CD25!!!

I realize that I didn't post after my appointment on Wednesday. And now it's Friday night and I have my next appointment tomorrow. I'm going back to an email I wrote on Wednesday morning to help me remember exactly what happened. There might be a little TMI about vaginas :) Hey, I have to use the proper word with my students during health. I may as well use the proper word here in my TTC blog.

My lining was still only at 7.4mm. This after being on 6mg of estrace and 3 patches. Ugh! But my RE put me more at ease. We were laughing and joking around, which was really nice. He started off by saying "And here I was all excited to be starting the transfer." To which I replied, "You were excited? What about me?" I mentioned to him about a girl from my message board using injections for her estrogen and that she lives in the states. He said that they do things differently here and they don't give estrogen injections.

We looked at my lining from last "cycle" (I say that in quotes b/c I don't ever have a natural cycle - they are all pretend). My lining only got to 7.6mm. And my original cycle without any meds (that wasn't even a cycle) I got to 5.6mm.

He told me that I would start taking estrogen vaginally, on top of the patch and the three pills I already take. I asked him if the pill will fall out, and he told me that the vagina is like a sandwich with meat and cheese (vegetarian - hello???). I told him I will never think of the vagina the same way again. We were laughing. He told me that I could turn cartwheels and the estrogen wouldn't fall out. I told him that I'm going to try that, but he said not to in case he was wrong :)

I'm hopeful that by my next appointment, tomorrow, he will see a change in my lining. He also mentioned that I'm small, and maybe my lining is as thick as it's going to get. I questioned if I would be able to carry a baby with a thin lining and he said yes, but he would still like to try to get it thicker.

I'm thinking that this means my cycle will not be cancelled. Eventually he will transfer me!

So that's where I'm at now. I'm hopeful that tomorrow my RE gives me the green light to start the progesterone. I can transfer any day next week except Friday (b/c it's the one day I have to be at work - although I want to be at work on Tuesday as well if possible). My students are performing for the school. It's such a nothing song, but my colleague is going to be away for a medical appointment, and I have to lead both of our classes on the stage. I don't think it would be fair to leave notes for a supply teacher (or two) that they have to lead two classes on the stage singing a song they have never heard...lol. I'll deal with it tomorrow if it's an issue.

I will write tomorrow - hopefully with a smile on my face. To think that if my 2ww had started on Monday as it was originally supposed to, I would be almost finished week one. Alas, I still don't know when I will get the green light.
