Yep, I officially have a bruise! 

It’s a really pretty purple/black color — I know you’re so jealous!! 

Hopefully in 1 WEEK from TODAY we’ll have our embies! We go to the doctor on Thursday. I’ll get an ultrasound and as long as my lining is as thick as they want it then the transfer will be 5 days later. So fingers crossed everything is good to go! 

On top of my estrogen pills, I’ve been doing a few “old wives tales” things to help my lining too. Do they work? Who the hell knows, but it can’t hurt right? (BTW, you can find anything on google! If they said to stand on my head then hop 3 times you’ll have a better chance for the transfer to work, I’d do it too, lol) 

I guess raspberries are good for fertility, women’s health and the lining of your uterus ( who knew, right?!) so I’ve been enjoying raspberries every week or so and raspberry leaf tea. 

Pomegranate juice is also supposed to help your lining. I add in a little splash of club soda and it’s oh so good! 

I’m back down to 2 estrogen pills a day and then my one shot in the stomach. That’ll be the name of the game until the doc says otherwise! 

(We went to visit family in Colorado so Laryen made me a makeshift banner for our pics- he’s so great!)
