Labs Are Back
My labs came back. This was the last set of bloodwork before we leave. This was mainly to check if my thyroid was working and to see if the dosage needed adjustment, as well as my vitamin levels, specifically Vitamin D and iron. Overall everything looked pretty good. Thyroid was back where it should be at 1.4 so I just continue on my current dose. Iron was in the normal range but on the low side of that so I added another iron pill, so now I take 4 a day. Vitamin D was perfect so keeping that where it is. So still on lots of supplements and prescription meds, but nowhere near as many as I took last time so that's great news.

5 Days To Go
With only 5 days to go I am starting to get really anxious about our upcoming transfer. I've been hyper, sad, energetic and tired almost all at the same time. Plus add the hormones and other drugs to that and my mind just continues to race.
So far the side effects are still minimal. I am rocking some great teenage type acne. I have headaches here and there, but they are manageable. Weight gain has gone down to +2.
Since I am so anxious I was wide awake in the morning so I decided to get up and take a 7am. It was a vinyasa flow class and it was just what I needed. Plus I really like the teacher and her flow so that helped set my mood and tone for the day,
Next I went to labcorp to get my thyroid tested again. My naturopathic doctor recommended retesting between 3 and 5 days prior to transfer just in case they need to reassess my dosage. Since I just gave blood yesterday on one side and had the IV done on the other side, it was a little challenging to find a vein that would work. Luckily the nurse was able to find one and it didn't take to long.
In the evening I had set up a support group meeting. I can not put into words how extremely helpful this wonderful group of people have been. They are a great deal of strength and comfort. They are understanding and just getting hugs from them, helps to get through tough days like this. I wish that I would have met these people in a different way, but I am truly blessed to have them in my life.
