Moving right along...

Had another appointment today, nothing interesting, just some blood work. Everything is right on track and progressing well. E2 level is still in the 600's, tonight's another shot night and we are still just injecting 3.5mg of estrogen. Tonight also starts my terazol cream, think something just like yeast infection cream(yuck) its basically just making sure no infections end up ruining this cycle. I do this for the next 5 nights and starting tomorrow night the dreaded PIO(progesterone in oil) starts, hopefully the olive oil will work much better and no itchy welts will form. Apparently the olive oil is much more concentrated so you inject less so that's good but still the same big scary sized needle! I'm back in again Tuesday morning for an E2 and P4 check and the transfer is Wed morning. I hope my babies survive the thaw, i guess at least 1 out of the 9 will make it right???? They only thaw out 2 at a time so lets pray the 1st 2 survive and I'll still have 7 on ice!

In non infertility related news...Since we couldn't go on our planned vacation this week because of all the monitoring we took a day trip to the Baltimore aquarium and then had a late lunch at a cute Irish pub over looking the harbor and its was a perfect day to sit out on the deck and enjoy the view! Here are a few pics from the trip.

Scary Sharks
Cute little seahorse.
No clue what this fish is really called, i call
him the kisser fish because he followed me around
the tank trying to kiss me!



These birds were in the Australia exhibit the had there.


We got to see a pretty cool dolphin show




Who can resist a self-portrait when your wearing such
cool 3D glasses, loved this movie but don't take
small children, water sprays in your face, things grab you ankles
and stuff pokes out the back of your seat!

things grabbing my ankles .... that makes me think of Gage in Pet Cemetery.
You guys look great, and glad you got away for a little. Good luck... we're thinking of you and crossing our fingers and toes.
