So. We’ve got an egg donor. We’ve got a transfer calendar. And as of yesterday, we’ve got an arse-load (literally) of medications just waiting for a nice warm place to call home…. and on Sunday morning, our ride begins!
This has been such an emotional past few months, with so many ups and downs and nail-biter moments, I just can not believe that it’s almost time.
And I’ll be honest, I’m decently nervous about the Lupron, and whole change in procedure in general. I know what I did last time, and I know it worked… this is all new. I’m a bit on edge about how new it is, and how my body will respond to it. Quite frankly, the nerves have sucked the snark right out of me. ( Sorry. I’m sure the snark will return, along with regular posting, when I get the eff’ over it all.) It feels like there is just so much riding on my body and how it reacts, it’s a lot of weight to worry about. Literally and figuratively. For some reason, I feel the responsibility so much more this time then I did with P-Daddy. It may be because I’m helping a Mama, or maybe it’s just because I really know now, after Ava and Amelia, how much is riding on my bodies willingness to do what it’s told.
But more then anything else? Frikkin’ excited, dude. Yes, I said frikkin’. It is appropriate. The Fed/Ex guy showed up and I was literally bouncing around with glee. Ran right up to my room to tear apart the box and carefully comb through the contents, then ran back down stairs to fling the family in the car so that I could hunt around for the perfect organization for all of my new *toys*.
I had *so* much fun with this. Separating everything out, organizing it by item, then need, then ability of my children to access it and compromise the dog with it’s contents…..
Sunday. This show gets on the road officially on Sunday. Whoa, guys. I am totally gonna’ to make a Mama.

So exciting, good luck on this first part of the new journey! A question, what is different this time that requires the new and different medications, just out of curiosity?
We’re working with a different clinic, and they have a different protocol. Last time I had half the variety of meds and was on a protocol that just enhanced what my body wanted to do anyway. This time we’ve got some heavy hitters that totally take control of what my body is doing so that it is controlled clinically ( and unnaturally) by the med doses. Just two different ways of getting the same outcome, but I have no idea how my body will react to this new way.
WOOHOO!!! 😀 i’m so freaking excited!!!
i love the organizer.. wish i had one of those when i was going through IVFs!
Wow, I know it will beo worth it for the end result, a beautiful baby for jaymee and her hubby. Sending lots of good thoughts your way
Don’t worry about the lupron. It’s easy…you might get some headaches, but nothing Tylenol won’t take care of.
I’m so glad you’re going to make a mama. There’s nothing in the world like it!
you are going to do great! i have every confidence that we will get to the finish line. no stress. HUGS, MUAH, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
YAY!!!! You ALL on your way! How exciting. I have faith in you and in everyone involved. Sending you lots of good JUJU and strength.
*HUGS*
i am so excited for you two! i did lupron. it’s cool. i didn’t even get headaches. you might, but not everyone does. i had no idea what the big deal was, personally. so hopefully it wil be easy for you, too!
so so so so excited for you guys!
I’m not really worried about how I’ll *feel* on the drugs, but more about how my body will *react* to them, you know? Will I get…. lining that’s too thick? or too thin? or that will have fluid in it? Will my body hate this protocol and as a result we can’t transfer??!!??!! Those are the thoughts running around in my head. I totally expect to get all Loopy on Lupron, and will be happily surprised if I don’t, but I’m more worried about weather or not that lupron and the other meds will make my body react, on a fertility level, in a way that the clinc wants it to.
Sabrina… I’ve done it all ways, with lupron, without, and gotten pregnant on all different protocols! Have faith and it will happen!! Good luck! I’ll be rubbing my newly preggo belly for you! 🙂
Check out that organizer! Wowza! I love it . . . I would totally do that too but I have a 3 year old and that would look just as cool to him as it does to me 😉
Way cool organizer!! Now, I just need to figure out where I will put mine when the time comes. I have a 5yr old and a 1.5yr old running around. Oh, and a crazy dumb dog, too!!
