I was pretty scared this morning – but I’m feeling excited again. Besides our last perfect cycle didn’t work out, so maybe we needed a not-so-perfect cycle to make it work this time. Back to positive thinking!!
Just got a call from the ART nurse, Penny. She talked to Dr. Williams about the missed shots and he’s not worried, since I’ve been doing the morning progesterone shots. He just said to be sure to take the one tonight – which I’m sure we won’t forget. Whew! She also told me that our transfer is scheduled for 10:40am!!

I have some bad news to report this morning, more of a confession I guess. I realized this morning that I missed my nightly progesterone shot on Tuesday night AND Wednesday night. Ugh.... I don't know how this happened. :( I was studying my protocol instructions for the past few weeks, up through this weekend - so I guess I was just too confident/cocky in my ability to do it all from memory. Sounds so stupid as I type it out. I mean, why wouldn't I have just left my protocol sheet out by all of my shot supplies?!?!?
Tuesday morning, I remember thinking about having to do another progesterone shot at night and it just totally slipped my mind that night. And yesterday I didn't think about the nightly shot at all. Thank goodness (though much later that I would've liked) this morning it just hit me that I had to do 3 shots today (AM - progesterone & estradiol valerate, PM - progesterone) and then I got a sick feeling in my stomach as I realized I was supposed to be doing the nightly progesterone on Tues & Wed as well. I just left a voicemail with the ART nurses - hopefully they will call back soon. Not sure if we will increase my remaining progesterone shots before the transfer or maybe they'll send me to the lab to check my progesterone today. Either way - I just hate that I put myself in this position. I pray that God will let things work-out despite my stupidity. I'm feeling stupid, sad, guilty, and a little angry at myself. We'll see what the nurses say! Today's FET Regimen:
