FET Progesterone Day 2 / 2WW – Care Package #2

Today is my second day of progesterone suppositories. So far it’s all going fine and I’m not noticing any progesterone symptoms yet. Other than a mild, achy headache, I feel pretty good. This is great news, because hopefully it means I won’t confuse pregnancy symptoms with progesterone symptoms.

Other than that, I’m doing pretty good. Just getting so anxious for this to happen!  Work is also pretty slow right now so I don’t have that as a distraction though, just for this week and maybe next, I don’t really mind. I work from home doing freelance Graphic Design and Web Design. I only worked 3 hours today, which is good and bad. I never want to say no to a new project because I don’t know when the next project/contract will come along, so there are days when I’m working from 6am – 8pm, but then when it’s really slow, I worry because I don’t know how long the lull will last, so I never really enjoy it when I have time off. However, just for the next couple weeks, I’m happy it’s slow. Even though it gives me more time to think about the events to come, I can take it easy and get all my housework done so I won’t have to worry about it after the transfer. I always feel so much more relaxed when the house is clean and the laundry is all done. So thank you universe for giving me a break right now, but don’t let it last too long okay? All these treatments are expensive! We need the money!

On the note of expensive treatments…

My acupuncturist, called me this afternoon and asked me if I would prefer to cancel my Thursday appointment and have her see me before and after the transfer at my RE’s clinic on Friday instead. She practices out of his office as well as her regular clinic, so it’s not a problem for her to treat me at my RE’s office. She said they have really good results with doing a 30 minute treatment before and another 30 minute treatment after the transfer. It costs more than the $90 for my usual appointment (okay a lot more, it’s $250), but I think in the grand scheme of things it will be worth it if it helps me become pregnant. I don’t know what evidence there is to prove this, but I decided to go for it. I’m open to anything that will help me relax on the day as I’m sure I’ll be a little wound up. So she called my RE clinic to see if they had the time to fit her in before and after my transfer, and they did! So it’s happening! I’ll see her at 9:30, then have my transfer at 10:15, and then see her again for another half hour session afterward. And I believe it will all be in the same room so I’ll be able to just lie back and relax the whole time. Aside from the cost, I love this addition to the plan.

Now for the highlight of my day! I just opened my 2WW – Day 2 Package. It’s a solar powered dancing sunflower to brighten my day and my mood. My friend’s 3 year old daughter picked it out because she thought it would make me smile. It did! I’m still so blown away by her thoughtfulness. My dancing sunflower is now sitting on my kitchen windowsill, and should have enough sun tomorrow to start dancing 🙂

  1. Awesome gift today. I am totally using your gifts as a distraction during my 2ww too. 🙂 Great news about your accupuncture! I have a treatment after my transfer as well but it’s several hours after. Oh well, I will take every little bit of help I can get. Now get back to your Sudoku and sunflower. Xoxo.

    1. 🙂 yay! I’m glad they’re helping you too! And I’m sure the acupuncture will be perfect even a few hours later. Keeping my fingers crossed for you hon 🙂
