Things are rolling along smoothly with this cycle of IVF.  It has been much easier that the first one because since we are doing a frozen cycle, I don't have to go through the whole process of growing my eggs.  I've been on a Lupron injection for the last month or so to balance out some hormones, though I've felt so nuts lately, I didn't think I had any left!   We went for an ultrasound last week and everything looked good for a go for transfer.  I started Heparin injections twice a day, baby aspirin, and Progesterone injections along with the Lupron Saturday.  The hep and aspirin ae to correct the antibody problem that I have that was reason (hopefully the only one) that it didn't work last time.  So, since Bill had to work yesterday, my sister went with me to pick up my frozen babies.  This transfer wasn't as painful as the first because I didn't have swollen ovaries.  I DID have a swollen bladder, as you are to have a moderately full one for the procedure.  I drank waaaaaay too much water and, I'll spare you all the funny details, lets just say I was in a lot of pain and peed down my leg and the floor some!  Ugh!  So, the transfer took no time, I waited my 30 minutes and we were on our way.  I'm on "couch potato" rest for 24 hours and wait the awful 2 weeks to see if it worked!  So far, I feel better about this cycle, I just hope I continue that outlook!
