Gestational Surrogacy ~ Cycling Update

Things are moving along - just ONE MORE WEEK until it's time for my lining check, I am already on pins and needles!! I am used to feeling some heaviness when the estrogen starts doing its trick and my lining starts thickening. I've had a few sensations that maybe it's starting to work, but I've only been on 1 2-mg pill for a few days now (half pill am and pm), so I probably have another few days until it gets noticeable. (Here was a cycle update from my 2nd GS journey at a similar point during the cycle).

I've been waking up with mild headaches fairly regularly, but they're not too bad and generally go away on their own - I assume they're lupron headaches which I've had in the past as well. I have been a little more tired then normal, and sometimes my temper is a little shorter than it typically is but I think those are the only side effects I've noticed (so far).

I received the fun Momma Bear Baby Gender Reveal kit to test out and review and I cannot wait to give this a try! I did a gender reveal test during my 2nd GS pregnancy and it was totally for fun, and made the guessing and anticipation more exciting. I like that it comes in a 2-pack; it says you can test as early as 5 weeks of pregnancy, so for fun you can test early, and then again closer to the 20 week ultrasound and see if you get the same result, and then see if it was right or not! :)

Here is the little stockpile of syringes from the lupron injections so far - only 10 injections left! Counting down! (Not that I'm complaining - these sub-q injections are VERY easy and almost completely painless, especially compared to the IM progesterone injections I'm used to (and SO GRATEFUL not to have this time around!!)
