My Ultrasound on 9/21 went well, my lining was at 9.3, anything over 9 is acceptable. I am still going to be on estradiol, so it should be thickening more until Tuesday. Friday I went and got that dreaded stitch put into my cervix again, last time I was under anesthesia, this time I had nothing! The numbing part hurt, but after it was numb I didn't feel a thing, I think she put like 4 stitches in there!! She decided if she was going to do it, she was going to do it right. She said she wanted to put enough in to get a good lift on my cervix? Who knows? But she was very nice, I liked her a lot!! So it is Sunday night, only 2 more days to go and we find out if the embies survived or not. The freezing/thawing of them is rough, I am just praying we have one that makes it. The RE that did the stitch said she thinks we have a good chance, so I am holding on to that for now! I have acupuncture tomorrow for the last time, I am going to try to use that to relax me some tomorrow. I have a feeling I will not be getting much sleep on Monday night. We have to call the mailbox on Tuesday morning to see if any of the embies made it! So we will be praying like crazy until then!! Thanks to everyone for thoughts and prayers, we so need them right now!!

Well, Tommorrow is my second and last ultrasound for this FET. They will check to see if the lining is thick enough and will also re-check my estrogen level. If everything looks good tommorrow, I will start progesterone and will have the transfer 5 days later. Starting to get excited, but still worried about our frozen embies and how they will make the thaw!! Please send up a bunch of prayers that our embies will make it!! I will post more tomorrow when I know how the lining looks and what my estrogen level is. Thanks to everyone for your support during this very long journey we have been on!!!

Ultrasound and blood work went well yesterday, I had no cysts and my estrogen level was 23. So I started my estrogen injections tonight. Coy gave me the shot in my hip, not too bad, he does it fast, he is too good!! So we have started this whole circus again. I will take another injection on Sat. 9/12, then again on 9/15 and 9/19 and then I will go in for an ultrasound and bloodwork on 9/21. If lining and estrogen are good I will start progesterone on 9/25 and the transfer will hopefully be on 9/29!

I talked to the NP yesterday about my embryo's. She said they will thaw all 3 embryo's and that what you want to see happen once they thaw is that they re-expand. Apparently they take all of the water out of them to freeze them and put them in an a cyroprotectant solution. Once they thaw them, they wash the cryoprotectant off and then they want to see the embryo take up fluid and re-expand. If they don't re-expand then they will not be viable or live. I am putting my faith in God, that he will hear our prayers and make our dream of becoming parent's come true!

So please pray for our embryo's to expand!!

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers!!!
