Happy St. Patrick's Day ( and week or 2 in review) Surrogacy Journey #5

First of all Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I posted this earlier today on Facebook and Instagram-

#throwbackthursday & #flashbackfriday Comes early this week in honor of St. Patrick's Day. 
This was 5 years ago with my surrotwins. 30 weeks, 6 days. I would be in preterm labor and in the hospital 1 week and 1 day later and they would be born 2 weeks, 1 day later. (33 weeks)

And now let's catch up on the past 2 weeks, oldest to most recent-

Fun Lupron side effects. I had a lovely hot flash that turned my face red, along with nausea and a headache.

Ultrasound and bloodwork 3/11/14

So, I started Estradiol every 3 days

I wanted to make sure I was injecting in the right spot (even though I've done this a few times), so I asked hubby to draw an X in the upper quadrant. Well, X marks the spot. Lol! P.S. that's my hip, not my bum. Ha ha.

And back to today. (3/17/14)

I think that about covers everything Surro-related since my last blog post. Thanks for reading!

Time to start Round 2 #4journey

Day 1 of my cycle =
Start Vivelle Estrogen Patches (first for me)
Start Prenatal Vitamins
Start Baby Aspirin
Start getting excited for Round 2

If all goes like last time, the embryo transfer should be in about 3 weeks.

I admit I got a bit nervous to be starting shots again even though I requested them this time. I'll be fine though. I'm a pro with shots by now. It's been a few years though.

The patches are kind of cool. Made me nervous, but they were easy. I'm just wondering if they'll stay on for 3 days like they are supposed to. I swear I felt a surge of hormones shortly after putting them on. Woah!

I have new shirts to design for round 2. I also need to order my lucky transfer jammies.

I'm a happy, excited girl!
