Almost PUPO Time!

I'm almost PUPO!!  Transfer day is just around the corner and I (We) couldn't be more excited!  I have been taking my Estrace/Lupron/Pre-Natalas & Aspirin religiously.  Acupuncture is also going well with next scheduled session the night before transfer.  I will do pre and post sessions and also one during the waiting period between transfer and beta to help keep me from POAS.  Oh and the Circle + Bloom Meditation sessions have also really helped a bunch.  I have noticed my sleep patterns are much more regular than before, and I would recommend them to anyone for relaxation.
So my last US appt to check on lining was Wednesday with results of a very thick 10mm!  Last time at this stage my lining was 7-8mm so I'm hoping this is a good thing!  I'm still on Estrace and will continue to do so until told otherwise so my lining should continue to thicken as the days lead up to transfer! :-)
Transfer day is June 5, 2013 (Wednesday)!!!
We are both HOPING and PRAYING that this transfer will bring us our take home baby!  This will be my third one :-(.  So wish us luck and keep us in your prayers.

Getting Closer!!



I'm happy to say ALL of our lab work came back normal!!! Yay!!  This time around we plan on transferring two blasts, adding Assisted Hatching, and adding HCG at the time of transfer.  I also had endometrial scraping/biopsy during a Hysteroscopy which all turned out fine.  I've been going to acupuncture every other week (have done 4 sessions already) and have another four scheduled.  My next one is next Tuesday, will do one the night before transfer, immediately following transfer, and one during the 2WW.  I find that acupuncture has really helped to calm my anxiety in general.  I enjoy my sessions and look forward to going each time.  Too bad it has to be so darn expensive (240 for 4 sessions).  Oh and we also added a baby Aspirin to my protocol that I take once a day.  My baseline US and lab work was this past Thursday.  Labs were all normal and my lining was at 3 mm, which is PERFECT!!  I've lowered my Lupron dose from 10 to5 units and have added Estrogen twice a day.  GROW LINING GROW!!!  My next US and lab check is on the 27th and transfer will be the following week on 6/5!!!  I'm so excited and hoping and praying that this time it will work!!!!!

Oh and I have also added Circle + Bloom Relaxation Meditation for a Frozen Embryo Transfer!

Say a prayer for us please.....
