Weekly update

[jenn_unplugged]

I feel like the only thing I'm posting about is pregnancy stuff lately! School is starting in a week and I'm feeling a little swamped with course preparation, so I'm not terribly creative otherwise. It's definitely exciting to be going back to school, though. It's always been one of my favorite times of the year!

Today was testing day, which means I went early to have blood drawn. It felt like it was going to be a lucky day -- she only had to stick me once!

I got a call back a few minutes ago from the clinic saying that my progesterone looked stable at around 27, and so Friday night will be my last shot. I will have another blood test next Tuesday to make sure it isn't crashing, but it looks like my body is finally starting to kick the progesterone into gear.

So that's good news! It will be interesting to say goodbye to the needles at last. I'm so used to it now that it isn't a big deal at all, but it will certainly be one less thing to deal with. I'm going to have to sit down and add up how many shots this process involved. I think it will be a rather high number...

I know! It'll be nice not to have my evenings planned around that shot any more. :-P

Yay! Congratulations, and... it seems strange to wish you good luck on not doing something! :D But I hope the not-getting-shots goes well!

Yes, me too! It'll just be nice to have one less thing to worry about. Though after eight weeks of it, it might seem weird not to do it any more. :-P

My journal changed quite a bit ... everything pregnancy and now most everything about Emma but that is expected when you've been trying to have a baby for so long and it finally happens.
Good to hear your progesterone levels are nice and high. I think around 9 weeks I was around an 11 when they pulled me off and tested. You're doing great!!!
I stayed on until 14 weeks. It would be interesting to count how many injections since I did one fresh IVF cycle and two FET's. I'm thinking somewhere around 100 or so for me.
