My FET is today!!!!!

OMG!!! Today is the day people!!! My FET is at 2:30 and I'm SO FREAKING NERVOUS! For the last 5 days my medication has been greatly increased! I've been taking 11 doses of meds plus I add estrogen patches every 3-4 days.  It's a lot!!!!! However this is our path to baby #2! I'm praying for a successful transfer and a successful, happy, healthy and scare-free pregnancy!!! Here's to baby #2!!

Not a happy camper

OMG I feel awful!  Not sure if it's the new medicine combo or what but this can't last!
I feel nauseous, my stomach aches and I'm peeing every 30 minutes! It's like I'm pregnant already!
Not sure what these meds are doing to me but it's not pleasant!  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

New medication protocol

 
Today is the day I start my new medication protocol which will continue until my pregnancy test given by Dr. Haas.  I have to take my blood pressure pill as always of course 2x a day, Minivelle patch needs to be changed today (I change that every 3-4 days) and I started 3 new meds! I had to stop the estradiol but add the progesterone suppository 3x a day, Doxycycline (antibiotic) 2x a day, Methylprenisolone 2x a day and a 81mg baby aspirin.  I have one more prescription fill for valium that I'll take before my transfer and as needed.  After that I'll do my final tally for the FET!
 
My latest instruction
 
 
                             Today's meds (the silver packet and suppository is 3x a day though)

Transfer is set for next Monday!!!

Today I had an appointment with Dr. Haas to check my lining and perform my sonohystogram. That's where a catheter like tube is inserted and water is flushed through. This is how the doctor checks for blockage, polyps etc.

Last time I had one was right before my IVF transfer and my doctor found a polyp. I had to have surgery before I could continue with the IVF.  Luckily this time I was all clear! My lining was thick and my blood was taken to check my levels.  Basically everything was great and I was so relieved.

He gave me my instructions for the next few days and I'll start my remaining meds on Wednesday.

My transfer is set for next Monday the 17th at 2:30pm! Everything is happening so fast and I'm so nervous. Praying for a successful transfer, great pregnancy and another healthy baby.

Progesterone Arrived

So I just received my endometrin (vaginal progesterone). I purchased it from Village Fertility Pharmacy. That's where I purchased all of my meds for my IVF cycle.  They give steep discounts for self-pay clients.  Instead of paying $998 via CVS (self-pay), I ended up paying $584.10!

I don't start taking the progesterone for another week or so but it's here and ready to go!
The sucky part about this med is that it's a vaginal cream with an applicator that I have to use 3x a day for 30 days!! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The things we do for our babies-to-be!

Here's a picture of all the medications I have to take so far.
You're looking at $1379.16 of medication for my FET cycle-
Once you add that to the $160 FET consult and the $1500 FET fee you have a grand total of $3039.16!!!
