10 days until transfer

It's getting so close! I am so excited. I emailed with R today because CCRM charged him twice. Not sure if one was for the ultrasound and one was for the blood work, but he is going to call and find out. I am so bloated! Which I take as a good thing. I am moody too, this delestrogen must be doing something that the estrace did not :) I still have not received my payment for the start of meds. I don't like to talk about money because that's not why I am doing this, but it should have arrived weeks ago. I emailed my agency twice with no response! Not sure what to do now, I do not want to make a big deal about this, but seriously??! I'm hoping one of the ladies there got my email and that initiated a check. Why they have not emailed back, I do not know. :(

 The next two days are going to be very busy. Tomorrow I have to work the early shift so I can take Zoe to her first ADHD psych appointment. I also have acupuncture at 11:30 and the delestrogen shot at night. Then on Wednesday I have my ultrasound and blood work at 8am and then a meeting with Zoe's school at 2:45pm. Hopefully I will get the results from the monitoring appt that day and not thursday, the extra wait is soooo long :) 

I have upped my Vitamin E to 3 pills a day which is 1200 iu. Not sure really what mg of that is, either 540 mg or 805 mg depending on if the pills are a natural form or a synthetic form. I upped the L arginine to 3 pills as well, which is 1500 mg. this : "Vitamin E & L-Arginine

A study published by Fertility and Sterility in April, 2010, showed that both vitamin E supplementation and/or L-Arginine may aid in increasing the thickness of the endometrium in women with thin uterine lining <8mm. Researchers wanted to see if these supplement could increase uterine radial artery (uRA) blood flow. Results showed vit. E given at 600mg a day increased uRA in 72% of patients and endometrial thickness (EM) in 52% of patients. 6g of L-Arginine given per day resulted in an 89% increase in uRA, with an increase of EM in 67% of patients.

The effect of vitamin E was examined in the endometrium. Results showed that vitamin E increased glandular epithelia growth, development of blood vessels and vascular endothelial growth factor protein* expression within the endometrium." says I should be taking 3 times that amount....  but ya know, I've got my 16 teapills a day, my 1 baby aspirin and my 4 estrace. So regularly taking 27 pills a day seems solid to me. :) Plus the Lupron and delestrogen.... I practically feel pregnant already :) 

I never did update with the results of my first monitoring appt. They said my lining is developing nicely. They did not change my meds. The lady who took my blood was new and messed up the first stick, so another lady had to come and try my other arm. Luckily they had success there. My first arm is still sore but miraculously did not bruise.
