We spoke with our RE yesterday and she reviewed with us the results of my ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array). It turns out that the standard clinic protocol was not really compatible with my uterus. Apparently, my body needs almost a full additional 24 hours of progesterone before I am optimally "receptive" to an embryo. So, this explains why I had three failed cycles last year. My body wasn't ready. 

So, we have added the extra day into my protocol for this cycle and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Of course, it doesn't matter how good I feel about it... it will either work or it won't... but I wager a little positive thinking couldn't hurt?

Also, my pneumonia wasn't "walking pneumonia", it was regular pneumonia. And, it appears to be close to running it's course. Thank you, doxycycline!

Embryo transfer is scheduled for next Tuesday!

Progesterone in Ethyl Oleate

Due to a nationwide shortage of my usual progesterone-in-oil, I have been using some compounded stuff that uses ethyl oleate and HOLY SHIT IT HURTS. It goes in a lot easier, but it seriously hurts. I hope the manufacturer gets their shit figured out soon because I would like to go back to my old formulation as soon as humanly possible.

Cycle Day 1

Just FYI... this whole blog will be full of Too Much Information. I'm a nursing student struggling with infertility. Literally nothing is off limits for discussion... just ask my friends. I got my period dark and early this morning (4:45am!), two days earlier than I had anticipated. Now I'm writhing in pain and scheduled to go to school in an hour and study for my pharmacology midterm. Today is Saturday, but my midterm is on Monday and I really haven't done as much studying as necessary. It's hard when you're heart just isn't into it.

6 weeks, 2 days

Not much has been happening here. My new semester started last Monday and it was chaos as usual until Thursday afternoon. Next week I should only need to go to school twice: once for class day and once for lab day. I had to tell my lab instructor about my injections so that I could procure a private space to do my PIO injection that wasn't a totally public restroom. I don't know if he thinks I'm actually pregnant or just trying, but they will all know soon enough. Obviously I'm not showing yet, but I have lost 4lbs so if this keeps up I imagine I will be showing sooner than later because there will be less belly fat to hide the organism * growing inside me. It appears that I'm going to get nausea in the afternoons like I did with my son. I never had sickness in the mornings, just light nausea in the late afternoons. I never threw up like you see newly pregnant women doing in the movies. I would like to find a tea made only from ginger (no hibiscus, no lemongrass,...
