God is Good. Our prayers were answered for a successful ultrasound today for both donor and I. Both ultrasounds came up 'quiet' which means that nothing abnormal was going on in the 'home front' and ovaries were suppressed (exactly on schedule). So we both get to start up on the next phase of treatment tomorrow. Myself taking Estrace to grow my lining to that magic number of 9mm again, and the donor to start her Puregon injections to grow her follicles to the magic number of 20-22mm. Both of us are really feeling the Suprefact nasal meds in terms of having headaches everyday. The other night, I ended up going to bed at 9:30 because it was so painful (and because it's drug induced, Tylenol didn't seem to help at all) Thankfully our donor gets to cut her Suprefact in half starting tomorrow, so hopefully that will help with her headaches.
I'm trying really hard to ease stress out of my life, I typically let things get to me and I worry about them a lot. At work, I need to realize that I can't do it all, so that I'm able to come home and not be at the end of my rope, and be worn right out. Our timeline is a bit unknown right now, but I just keep reminding myself that we're one step closer, and Jeff and I are getting very anxious and excited! Thanks again for all your prayers, thoughts and support. We are going out camping this weekend with family, so it should be a great way to get my mind off all this for a while (I must admit it's been a little consuming lately) and just relax and enjoy life :)

So happy and excited to hear that you're one step closer! We'll continue to pray for you and your donor, that headaches will be managed and your lining and her follicles will grow beautifully! Hugs to you all! Thanks for all of the updates Tan! It's wonderful to be even a small little part of this journey with you.
