She is a great friend, because today she asked me to pray for you and your family. Prayer really changes things, and so I will pray for you today (the day you are transferring the embryo), that God would keep you hopeful and patient and trusting in Him. He uses these trials mysteriously and to test our faith and produce in endurance in us. Stay prayerful and hopeful and trust in The Lord. <br /><br />"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart; do not lean upon your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight"- Proverbs 3:5-6<br /><br />I pray that He makes this process a straight path now, and that your beautiful baby is at the end of that path. I pray that you and your husband will be strengthened and encouraged by those around you and by a deeper walk in your faith journey. Hang in there and please know you have great friends and people who are praying for you!<br /><br />-Claire Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627738112303813662.post-79804656664543724512014-06-12T11:52:07.224-07:002014-06-12T11:52:07.224-07:00The dreaded IM shots... i feel your pain, i was pr...The dreaded IM shots... i feel your pain, i was pretty much on the same protocol, which mine went even a couple weeks after most wean off their shots because i had a subchorionic hematoma... but in the end (our 2nd FET) it was all worth it. So, yes, they suck, but just try to stay positive and have a good outlook. Also, maybe try a heating pad before/after, that helped me in the beginning... another thing you can maybe ask for is progesterone ethyl oleate... its just in a different medium, not in sesame oil. the ethyl oleate is a bit thinner and hurts a bit less. i switched to that a few weeks in as i developed an allergy to the sesame oil.

However after I had some time to grieve I did see the "silver lining" that at least I was able to become pregnant. I think regardless of when you lose one of your babies - embryo development, thawing, negative beta, or miscarriage it's all terrible. Hoping for nothing but good news with this cycle.

I hope neither happens to you. Hoping for your BFP and healthy babe 9 months later.

Every once in a while you just gotta vent though :) The end is in sight, whatever that may bring.

My trigger was lupron, but it was administered subcutaneously. I used crinone for both my fresh and frozen cycle, and despite the miscarriages, I've had the full blood panel run for blood clotting, so the most anyone wants to do is baby aspirin... no lovenox. I feel like I had IVF for wimps without the IM shots, but when I hear about the pain, swelling, bleeding, and bruising, I'm SO thankful! <br /><br />Praying that this is it for you!
