Day 2 Post-Transfer

I wish I could figure out this damn body of mine. My temperature has continued to fluctuate between 98.4 and 99.8 and I'm hoping thats just because of the progesterone and not residual pneumonia. My husband has been amazing since we got home. Before the transfer, I picked a bunch of recipes from the internet and he's made them for me, despite the fact they've ended up being faaaaaar more complicated than I had realized. I haven't gone downstairs since I went upstairs after we got home on Tuesday because he wants me to stay comfortable in bed or in the computer chair. To be honest, I'm getting a little stir crazy. Tomorrow my husband will have shoulder surgery, so I will be the one taking care of him but that's fine with me. I reeeeeeally need to get outside and do something.

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.

T-Day!

So, today is the day we have been working towards. It's transfer day . I developed a low-grade fever yesterday afternoon and I am PANICKING. I called the nurse line at the doctor's office today just to make sure that we can still go ahead with this. I really don't want to cancel but I also don't want to waste $3000 on an embryo transfer that's possibly doomed before we even begin. My RE said, multiple times, that a fever is definitely a reason to cancel. My temp never got higher than 99.6, and it was normal all night, and it's still normal this morning.... but still. I feel like I've been nothing but a problem patient this cycle. I don't remember it being like this my last two FET's. I really really REALLY just want this to fucking work this time.

This Really is the Last Time, I swear.
