all good in the ute!

i had my lining check today and all is good in there :)

lining is a little over 10 and triple striped, i'm very proud of my ute

transfer will be on thursday and i can't wait for my baby wormies to come back where they belong.

i really don't remember my past lining measurements. last FET my transfer was pushed back a couple days to get it a little thicker.  Dr. B (RPL dr.) rec starting metformin to deal with some of the PCOS symptoms i have (some traits but not full-fledged PCOS) and he said it would also improve lining quality.  i have no idea if it's the met, the pom juice (and organic pom strips i've been eating like candy) or wheat grass.  i also added coQ10 to my piles of supps i take.

today i am hopeful.

and we have bluejays building a nest on our fire escape and i can't help but think this is a good omen :)
