Countdown to Transfer

Estrogen is at 1,116.

Progesterone is 33.1.

Last week my lining measured a supple thickness of 12.2.

The transfer is scheduled for 1:00 pm on Monday.  The lab will thaw the two best embryos in the morning and hopefully those same two will be the ones transferred that afternoon.

I'm still a bit nervous about transferring two, but we know that two will give us the best chance of success at this point.

After having such an empowering self-injection experience with IM injections, I've continued to self inject on both sides.  The left side is more difficult due to my right-handedness, so with that side, after I push the needle in, F takes over with the pull back and actual injection while I hold my skin taut.  Oddly, it is only my left side that feels any soreness from the PIO.

Speaking of progesterone, I decided to do a pointless little experiment with my Basal Body Temperature.  I wanted to see when my temperature spike would occur in relation to my P4 levels and the number of days on injections.  In other words, how quickly my BBT would respond to the Progesterone injections.

The answer is 2 days.  Even with a high P4 level of 33.1 yesterday morning, my BBT had not spiked yet and was still at 97.3 (which is my average pre-ovulation temperature).  I started PIO injections Tuesday evening.  No spike Wednesday, no spike Thursday. 

Kinda interesting, no?  I thought it was kinda interesting.  Now I can stop temping again and not feel like such a nerd.  F keeps asking, "why are you taking your temperature?"  I'm embarrassed.
