So last Friday I had my Pre FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) appointment.
They did the usual bloodwork and ultrasound and everything looked as it should
at this time. This appointment is what gives you the go ahead to start
medications again…YIPPEE. I had my first Delestrogen injection that evening
and this will continue every 3 days until I’m told to stop. I have elected Jon
to do these injections (since it’s intramuscular in my lower back and just
easier to have someone else do it) and thank god – but he is the best at this –
I barely feel anything at all! As far as side effects I was sick last week so I
cannot specifically attribute this to it but I had a little nausea on Saturday and
I definitely had gas and bloating and last night had hot flashes (which for anyone that knows me I am ALWAYS cold). Nothing horribly uncomfortable though.
A side note apparently a lot of these fertility drugs are becoming harder and harder to get - I had to jump through hoops to get the Delestrogen (CVS is the worst BTW) and the Progesterone is having to be mixed by individual pharmacies so these are costing way more than they should because the pharmaceutical companies just aren't making enough of it. These should be generics that at the most cost about $20 - each vial has cost me anywhere from $75-$95 WITH INSURANCE. Something is so wrong here...
So I continue this protocol until my next appointment which
is December 14. At that point they will do bloodwork and ultrasound again and
if everything looks good we will add in Progesterone injections. Stay Tuned!
