Rough Week & FET Update

This last week was extremely difficult for me to get through. I have been super emotional (ranging from weeping, to being happy, to yelling at people for no reason - I mean at the time I started yelling there was a reason, but after I got done it was a stupid reason lol).

April 10th was 6 months since Cadynce has been gone. I can't believe it's been that long; it seems like yesterday and a million years ago all at the same time. It's been the fastest and the slowest 6 months ever. I miss her more each day it seems.

I don't know if I have mentioned it or not, but my grandfather (Pappy) has been sick since November. The doctors at first thought he had cancer, but a broncoscopy and biopsy showed no cancer cells, and he was diagnosed with Organizing Pneumonia. He has been on steroids since late December early January and it seemed like they were helping. Monday he was running a fever, coughing and in quite a bit of pain so he went in to his lung specialist early and they did an x-ray which showed that instead of getting better the pneumonia appeared to have doubled. The actual lung specialist was out of town so the PA said that he had 2 options (1-go into hospital and get IV antibiotics or 2-go home and start oral antibiotics) and he, being a stubborn man said he wasn't going to the hospital so home he went.

He woke up Tuesday in so much pain and coughing so much he could not get comfortable no matter what he tried so they called 911 and had an ambulance take him to ER. He was admitted and they started running more tests (CTScan, MRI, not sure what all else). The lunch specialist was back in town at this point and said that while he definitely had pneumonia, and had fluid on his lungs because of it, but he thought something else was going on (so we were back to cancer at this point) and wanted to do another bronoscopy and biopsy.

He went into surgery Wednesday and they started by removing the fluid and doing a broncoscopy, but they still couldn’t see everything they needed to see so they decided to open him up. Turns out he had a HUGE abscess on the lower lobe of his right lung that was teeming with infection, and it was basically destroyed. They had to remove the 1/2 of his right lung that was destroyed by the infection, but thank god they found no evidence of cancer. They are still sending the part that was removed for testing just to confirm. We very well could have lost him if my grandmother hadn't made him go to the hospital on Tuesday, which I don't even like to think about. He is still in ICU, until a private room becomes available, but seems to be doing much better. He's already back to his smart-ass self so that’s a good sign!!! Needless to say the past week has been fraught with worry.

So, anyway ---- on the FET front:

Had Lupron shot on 4/9 – it wasn’t too bad and I really didn’t have any side effects that I noticed (chris said i was bitchy which maybe I was I dunno lol), but I started my period on Wednesday which I wasn’t expecting yay, but it only lasted til Sunday so it wasn’t too bad.

Went in 4/16 for monitoring, ovaries looked good and suppressed, but the nurse said my lining was a little thick – has anyone ever been told their lining was too thick? I’m worried that it might interfere with the transfer and we will have to postpone.

Will go back this Friday 4/23 for more BW and another US so hopefully lining will be good not too thick. So we can do a transfer 4/30.

I am very positive about this FET, whereas for the last one in December I was really, really nervous and scared. Plus it is in between mine and Chris’s birthdays. Mines this Saturday the 24th (I’m going to be 32 ughhhh, how did I get so old?????) and chris’s is 5/8 (he will be 33). So we are both taking that as a good sign LOL.

Hope everyone is having a great week!!!
