Secure and Ready

Hello all from a somewhat humid and drizzly California - hmm hope this doesn't last!.
So as you will of seen i had to re invite you to view my ramblings. Unfortunately someone reading decided to share some of my info and i felt that was not on so i have locked it down :)

Anyway i went to the hospital this morning for a scan check and blood draw. A new nurse took my blood today and made me bleed a lot more - she needs the practise. My left arm has a great vein (apparently) but there is no need to keep stabbing it.
The doctor was fashionably late AS USUAL ! i dont know why i always choose the 8.30am appointment because she is never there until 9am. They always make me sit in the room on the table unclothed from the waist down with just a paper skirt for company. I'd much rather they let me sit in the waiting room with the TV until she is ready - Obviously fully clothed :p.
Everything looks wonderful though, my uterus has a lovely triple lining (whatever that means) and she always likes to point out where the embryos will implant :)
After that a quick check with the nurse about the next drugs and then on to psyching Rich up ready for the injections in the butt again.

So from now on i stay on the Estrogen 3 times a day. On Sunday i add in Medrol for a week in a reducing dose (a steroid) and progesterone injections at night before bed.
I am scheduled for the transfer on Friday 28Th at 10am with 30 Min's of acupuncture before and after. The after is going to feel weird i reckon as i will have taken Valium by then.

I feel good but i am expected to feel a little more tired as next week goes on, I'll take it though.
