Vitamin D deficiency

just recently found out my vitamin d levels were low. Came back at 18.4, my clinic put me on a high does of vitamin d. I'm suppose to take it once a week and in two weeks when they retest my levels I can take OTC vitamin d at a lower dose. 

I immediately googled what this meant and decided to stop because it scared me. It's out of my control and I am going to have faith my body will fix itself. 

Today was my transfer day. My emotions were all over the place with this transfer. Comparing my feeling to our last FET cycle I was extremely excited. Impatient for the day to arrive. This time around I was scared, stressed, nervous, etc. No matter what I did I couldn't bring myself to shake it off. As the day got closer I became very emotional. So emotional that I reached out to my nurse for comfort. I hadn't seen her since my D&C. Somehow we've always managed to miss each other when I had appointments that I began to think she was no longer there. She confirmed she was still there but for some reason always missed each other. She began to tell me she was excited for my transfer and was anxious for the day to arrive. Which I responded with...
I knew she had a point but how does an infertile relax after a miscarriage? I woke up early to eat something before my transfer and we went off for my pre acu session. I thought it was lovely the on call person came in early for my session. As soon as I arrived to the clinic I was embraced with hugs. Everyone was doing such a great job at helping me ease my nervousness. 

While I was being prepped for the transfer they showed us a picture of our two embryos we were transferring. Then they mentioned that they will be inserting HCG into my uterus before my transfer. The embryologist stated it's a way to aid the embryos to implant and grow. Apparently the main Dr of the clinic requested it. 

After my transfer the Dr who did my transfer came over to my side and place his hand on my head and said a prayer. Either that or I was imagining things...I didn't hear what he said because he was speaking softly and I was distracted with the nurse draining my bladder. Sigh. Before we left everyone was expressing how optimistic they were that this was it for us. The hugs, the words of encouragement, the love that I received today made it easier to believe. To hold on to hope. 

The waiting begins...
