Green light!

I had my baseline u/s and b/w today and I am starting stims tomorrow night! My E2 was 22! I'm happy to see such a low number but it's sort of scary considering how high they have been in past cycles. I can't help but wonder if my body crossed over into Menopause-land. I keep pushing that thought away. I guess there's no way to know till Friday when I go for the next u/s. I am going to take the same dose of meds I used for the last cycle and I was ready for ER after 5 nights of stims last time so I'm secretly hoping my ER will be next Sunday. The nurse mentioned possibly doing Assisted Hatching(AH) this cycle. AH is when they drill a small hole into the shell of the embryo which hopefully will aid in the hatching process that occurs just before implantation. I'd like to try it. It can't hurt at this point in the game. Plus it seems like I react well to the meds and the embryos fertilize. It's the implantation process that seems to have issues.

Chris and I ripped out the carpet in the family room today and we are patiently trying to get the adhesive scraped off the floor. We were all set to put a prefinished hardwood floor down in there but the guy at Home Depot got us interested in a Vinyl self stick flooring that comes in wood or tile styles. Might be a better idea since this floor is a high traffic area and may see it's share of water in the future.

Zoey still lives in our home. She's still peeing near the door when she can but I put some wee wee pads there so it's easier to clean up. Chris doesn't want to put her down. I told him I was ok with it but he would have to bring her to the shelter. I can't do the deed. And I can't stop her from peeing where she wants. The food bowl trick isn't working.

I managed to lose a 1/2lb this past week. That brings the total to 22lbs so far. I haven't been completely on plan so I'm not surprised. I'm cutting out the workouts or if I do go on the treadmill I'm going to walk at a slower pace without any incline. I am going to work on no stress and total body relaxation this week. I have another massage on Wednesday after work. Can't wait since everything in my body is screaming in pain right now from scraping that crap off the floor!
