Waiting in the doctors office this morning I felt a calmness. Not because I was super confident everything was going to look ok. I was calm because it’s nice to know we’re not the only ones. The waiting room was the most crowded I’ve seen it in a long time. There was a couple waiting, a woman waiting, another couple checking in, another woman getting a doctors note from her surgery last week, another couple checking out and last but not least another woman who looked so nervous because she was probably about to take a blood test to see if she was pregnant. I hope and pray that she is. We know that nervous feeling all too well.

You don’t know their back stories but you hear pieces of their conversations. A lot of things that Laryen and I have already been through or done when we started our infertility journey. It’s just nice to know we’re not alone. All of those people are at the fertility clinic because they want to be parents too and for some reason or another it’s a little more difficult than others. It makes you feel more normal. It makes you not feel so alone. It’s calming to see a part of the lives of the other 1 in 8 couples who have some sort of infertility.
And everything looks great! My lining was so close to the threshold last week and since they bumped up my estrogen meds it got 2 millimeters thicker in one week! So it’s 9 millimeters — needs to be 7 mm for the transfer so the home is good to go!

Transfer is scheduled for Tuesday! That’s when we’ll get both our frozen embies. And it looks like it doesn’t take long for them to thaw! I guess the embryologist start the process just a few hours before the transfer — so amazing!

Even better? I DON’T HAVE TO TAKE A SHOT TONIGHT!! But….tomorrow I start the big ol’ progesterone shots. So I’m going to enjoy this day off of the needles as much as I can!
