Estrogenerized

It's time to up the estrogen to 3 patches a day and estrace tablet in the hooha 1x/day.   Yay,  I have been headachey on the lupron.  Dr. G. said it was ok to take my migraine med until 3 days before transfer, so that is good.  

Thank you all for your supportive comments on my dilemma.  I think I have decided to go with a single embryo transfer and do two of these and if they don't work, we can up the ante, though I have a feeling it's gonna work!  My husband put it into perspective for me and says I need to think about this decision from the baby's point of view instead of what I want.

I may be overthinking this whole twins thing. . . there are so many very good outcomes with twins that I have seen on the blogs and in my real life. Why am I feeling so cautious?  My mom is going to think I am crazy for not transferring 2.  She really wants twin grandbabies.  I don't know if I can even tell her my plan.  That's the bad thing about being open about the IVF process is that you are open to their opinions as well.   I like this quote posted on Waiting and Wishing blog: Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway. Eleanor Roosvelt.

  4. I struggled so much with one vs. two. We decided on two and I was heartbroken when we only had one to transfer last time. I think you should listen to your heart!

  5. I definitely think that if you don't want to get knocked up with twins you should do just one. I belong to Boulder Twins group and most of the mommies there were impregnated twice over by Dr. G. :) But the women there love him dearly.

    When are you flying to the Mile High city for your transfer? Seems like you're ramping up pretty fast so it could be soon?

  6. Michelle - that funny that Dr. G has such a following in Boulder! I am flying in on Sat. - going to go up to Fort Collins for a night and then over to Boulder for a night. Visit my old stomping grounds. I would like to drive up in the mtns to see a little fall color. Transfer is slated for Tues, Sept 27th!

  7. That quote so resonated with me, too when I read it on her blog. I'm just echoing what others said, but do what's right for you.

  8. I think you're making a wise choice - since you have a number of embryos you might as well start with the desired outcome and if that doesn't work you can change tactics. But I think you won't get there, because I think it's gonna work too! Fingers and toes crossed!
