PUPO!

I am officially PUPO (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise)! 

I triggered with Ovitrelle on Thursday night, and started Lutinus (progesterone suppositories, 3x/day) this morning. At 2pm today, I had a 2-day, 4-cell embryo put into my uterus. It hurt a little bit, I felt a few pinches and some cramps, but it was fine. It was a surprisingly emotional experience. I'm not sure if it's because it feels like our only chance or what, but I was just overwhelmed by different emotions. Fear, excitement, nervousness, general unease.

After the FET, I got into my car to drive to work, since I'm working the evening shift tonight. Omni's Cheerleader was playing, and I turned it up and tried to enjoy my drive as newly PUPO. After that song, "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash came on. I sang a long. And then I heard a line I had never noticed before: "Here is that rainbow I've been praying for." Naturally, I lost it and had a complete breakdown in the car. I am taking that as a sign.

Here's hoping I get that rainbow I've been praying for. 

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies. (Ies)

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Here's the rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Real, real, real, real bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day.

April so far...

A lot has happened in the past few weeks.

IVF-wise, we have 3 frozen 2-day embryos and one frozen blastocyst. Not as much as I was hoping for, but I'm very grateful we have what we have. My ER was excruciatingly painful but I survived, and I did not develop OHSS. I got my period 7 days after ER and my ovaries looked normal on my ultrasound yesterday (they were around 20cm each at ER and 6cm each 5 days after ER). We are hoping to do a FET this cycle, but to do that I need to ovulate. Come oooon, ovaries!

We also spent a week in Austria. We went skiing in the Alps (wow!) and spent 2 day in Salzburg. It was wonderful to get away from everything and reconnect with the Mr. :-)
