I was very concerned yesterday when my RE's office advised that my progesterone was not high enough and that they were going to have me do PIO injections. I wasn't scared of the injections but just concerned as to whether or not I could do them myself. My wonderful and always reliable DS Friends/Ladies came through with their support and recommendations. Thank God I have each one of you otherwise I don't know where I would be!
So, I trot into the RE's office today and again, they are running late. Hmmm, two days in a row and they keep mentioning that they are understaffed this week due to a holiday. I keep thinking...what holiday? Do any of you know of a holiday this week, last week or next week? Maybe it's a religious holiday that I'm not aware of. Anyway...getting back to the story at hand. My RE is actually there and so when they finally call me back she sits in with us (I was supposed to be there for PIO injection instructions). When we start talking, she recalls that my DH is in Vegas Monday through Friday and that I will need to give these injections myself. I try to assure her that I am not squeamish and have absolutely no issue with giving myself injections, I just want to be sure I can actually reach the area. She is not comfortable with me doing them myself. She thinks on it and then comes up with a much better (in my small opinion) solution. We will continue the 2 vag suppositories daily and add lozenges 2x's daily. YEAH!!!! So, so happy.
She was also kind enough to sit there with me an answer all of my questions (ones that I had failed to ask, remember and/or even think about within the last week). I swear, sometimes I am absolutely losing my mind! So, I am 5 weeks today and they will do an u/s on 10/06; it will be a day or so early but they should be able to see the sac. She was kind enough to do it a bit early since I will be traveling and/or attending client meetings the remainder of the week and over the weekend. Phew....
So I am thinking...finally, I feel okay with where I'm at and questions have been answered but oh no...as I am writing this post, I seriously cannot recall when my appt is on 10/06/08. See, I have totally lost my damned mind. ;)
To all of the wonderful ladies, I am hoping/praying for all of us. I know that we are all at different places, emotionally and physically in this process but I know that with the love, strength and support of one another we will prevail...
Love,
Lauri
P. S. Thank you again for all your help, guidance and assistance.

I go tomorrow for my 3rd BETA and then they will schedule me for my 1st U/S. They said about 7 weeks?? Does that sound right??? I wish it were sooner, haha. OH and for that holiday you were questioning...I herad it on the radio, I guess it was a Jewish holiday of some sort, at least thats what the radio announced:) BYE for now. XOXO

Yeah! That's awesome! I was terrified of PIO shots and was so glad when I found out I'd be doing Endometrin suppositories instead. You u/s is a day before mine. Go us!
