And so it begins....

I am finally at the start day of my calendar for my final transfer. Tomorrow I continue with my BCP for 4 more days, but add in aspirin, and doxycycline, along with prenatals I have been taking for awhile :) I continue until the 9th and I will have a baseline scan along with our teaching for intramuscular injections. Then I stop the antibiotics and shorty after, begin my estrogen injections!!!!!! Woooo hooo! Please Lord, please protect my little ones and allow a safe transfer, a hospitable environment to thrive in :))

It's really sinking in.....

Ahhhhh!!!!! I am so flipping excited!!!!!!

I had my saline sonogram on Tuesday and some additional bloodwork. I received my calendar, and looking at it, seeing my appointment, my little check box's for my meds, my TRANSFER date..... It just flooded me with so many memories and giddiness!!!!!!!

Oh God!!!! Please Lord, please prepare my body now for these beautiful, precious lives.
My heart is desperately wanting to see both thrive together.
I want to bring them home and out of that cold freezer lol. I want them to know, and feel their mommy's love. I want them to hear the laughter of their silly brothers. I want to know the joy of having 5 kids, 4 years of age and under lol. I want to know the joy of having two sets of unique twins. I want my babies, and I am so excited to have them transferred to me.
Lord willing, the thaw will be flawless, the transfer smooth, and the implantation perfect.

I jus cannot believe its all happening so fast. This is it.... My last transfer.... Please Lord, please.

Warrior Dash mud run!!!!

Today Brian and I ran a 5K mud run with 12 extreme obstacles. The benefits go to st Jude's Children's Hospital.

I'm not gonna lie.... It was amazing!!!!!!!! This was my first official race, and we did it mostly for fun, with my brother in law and sister in law. We had sooooo much fun. It wasn't nearly as challenging as I thought. I was soooo intimidated by it! However, I guess training with a bunch of high schoolers and then running an additional 2 miles after practice will help prep you :)
I am addicted and cannot wait to run again.... But alas.... Wait I must, because our wonderful transfer is approaching very soon....

And speaking of our transfer.... Brian and I made a very game changing decision. We decided to transfer both of our remaining embryos together, instead of singly.
I just wasn't feeling peace about it. I have been praying a lot about it, and I just couldn't feel good about it. I Can't really put a finger on it, but I just know.... We are meant to transfer them together... I am scared, but mostly as peace. I feel much better with this decision and excited to go through with it. Please be praying for the thaw and the preparation of my uterine lining.

I started mY last day of birth control today. And have my saline sonogram on Tuesday. I picked of all my mEd's from the pharmacy too.... It's beginning to feel so real!!! Eeep!!!!! Can't wait to see who you are bringing to our family next, God!!!!!!!

And for fun, here is pics from our day!!!

We have before the race pics, after the race pics, and after our shower and in our merch. Pics :)

Been there done that?

My doctor's office has recently been in touch with me now that our cycle is quickly approaching. Everything seemed was very predictable, and expected...

Blood work
HSG
Annual/ pap
Order meds....

"Wait a minute.... I see that you have on here progesterone and estrogen delivered via injection, and not just any injection.... *gulp* INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION!!!!! This has been the only thing BY FAR that I have been terrified of!!!!! I thought could get around it, like I always have this far. Before, all I needed her suppositories, or pills..... Nope. On a frozen cycle they have to simulate everything. I am not actually producing any follicles. Everything is synthetic. Therefore, they need the best and strongest meds to convince your body you DID ovulate and create a healthy and inviting atmosphere for your baby....

Can't really argue with that. Ofcourse I want what is best for my little embryo.... But yeah, I am scared lol. This will be the first time BRIAN will have to give me an injection. There is no way I could stick something that large in my... *ahem*.... Rear ;)

So.... Let the chaos begin!!! I took my last b/c pill tonight. Cycle should start soon. I call on day 1, they tell me to start BCP again on day 3 of my cycle.

I will have a baseline u/s, blood work, my HSG, then another cycle. That is when I will begin my meds.

ALSO, subject change, my varsity team has it's first game of the season tomorrow!!!!! I am so excited to watch the girls play!!!!
