The day I became a human pin cushion

First thing this morning I had a nice poke in the arm at ORM so they could measure my estradiol and progesterone levels. Both results came back great, according to the nurse!

Estradiol: went from 28 to 583 to 977 and today's #= 1,534

Progesterone: 29

After that, I had another acupuncture treatment, where she placed approximately 12-15 needles all over my body, including a couple in my ear! Then, I rested quietly in the room with an "eye pillow" (a dry washcloth) covering my eyes, a heat lamp on my belly, all while I listened to a CD of ocean waves. How could I not be relaxed?

So far, my PIO shots are going well. Tonight, I will have 2 intramuscular shots (PIO and Delestrogen), thus the headline "the day I became a human pin cushion".

Did I mention that my sister is coming to stay with us this Thursday for 6 days?! It will be really special to have her here for the transfer. I will be on bedrest on Friday after the transfer and all day Saturday, so we will likely rent some movies and camp out in our living room.

I think that's it for now. I don't have any more appointments until our big day on Friday at 12:30. The actual transfer is scheduled for 1:15. We are so excited :)

Love, P & G
