FET Update: Anxious and Cranky, But Things Are Generally Good
Wanted to post a little update on how everything's going with my FET:
- Ugh...the drugs. Feeling really anxious and cranky since returning from my trip and I know it's the drugs so trying to just ride it out...also think the fact that I can't get a good workout in has a lot to do with it as that is where I normally turn for stress relief (my clinic doesn't want me sweating at all because of the patches, and I can't get any sort of decent workout in without sweat, so...)
- Tired too, but as much as I want to blame that on the drugs, I think it has more to do with the fact that some of my Santa Barbara friends are super young, and we had some late nights trying to keep up with those guys. :) Plus a 3 AM wakeup call Sunday morning to make a 7 AM flight out of LAX...
- Traveling with meds was fine, by the way. I had a little red cooler and ice packs and a doctor's note which I didn't even need. Sailed through airport security...no one even batted an eye. Stuck the meds in the fridge at the hotel. Also, I ended up not needing a blood draw while traveling...my clinic said it was fine to wait until Monday
- Had my first blood draw and my hormone levels are right where they should be...yay!
- Only four more days of shots! Yay!
- Lining check and another blood draw on Saturday
- Over to Denver (where my clinic is) for the week starting Sunday
- Ten days to transfer! Yay, yay, yay! I am so ready!
So overall everything's good. My whole life feels like it's on hold until beta day, though. Wish I could keep things more normal through this process, but not feeling like myself and not being able to exercise at all and not feeling like I can concentrate on anything so reading and writing are out. Trying to figure out things I can do to pass the time and actually enjoy this beautiful summer, vs wishing the next days and weeks away, you know?
