Progesterone bump

I had been given the advice from other ivfers to have Paul massage the area after each injection to prevent the medication creating a "bump" that feels like a muscle knot, but he never massaged me this summer, and I never got a bump. Well I have two bumps already this time and the one on the right side is particularly large. Yesterday night he said some other fluid came out after the injection instead of the usual blood. So I felt around and found a huge lump. That also is where I am the most sensitive. So it hurt a LOT to have him massage it to try to get the medicine to spread out. Today he massaged after both injections so hopefully no new lumps will form and maybe the ones I have will get smaller. I can't bear to have the one on the right massaged too much at one time. The heating pad definitely helps at home on the couch.

I checked the USPS website and it doesn't say that the lawyer has received the package I mailed on Saturday. I am surprised because I paid extra for it to go "Priority" so I thought it would be there by today. I am going to check again tomorrow, and if it doesn't arrive tomorrow then I might need Paul to go to the Post Office and send it overnight mail or something which will be costly plus I had sent 5x7 photos this time, and I don't have any extras of those. Hopefully it will arrive there tomorrow. I am going to email the lawyer's office in case it got there by USPS hasn't updated the website for some reason (I paid for delivery confirmation).

Well tomorrow is THE day. Thank you all for your encouragement and support and prayers. Tomorrow I'll be PUPO hopefully (presuming the embyro makes it to transfer). It's about time since I'm already 5dpo today, LOL. I'll post tomorrow when I get back from the RE's which will probably be about 3:30pm. This summer I was there 3 hours for the transfer, and my appt is at noon (transfer at 1pm). I am definitely going to WAIT much longer to start filling my bladder this time. Definitely a lesson I learned in August! I plan to talk to and pray for our little one once he/she is transferred back as I figure those 11 days might be the only time I am able to do that. I want to savor every moment of being PUPO in case I never get a BFP.
