I had an appointment today at the fertility doc's office. This is a followup visit to make sure the shots are doing what they are supposed to. Good news! They are.
Sunday, I'll start my Stim meds. I will not have 3 medicines to inject into my stomach. Lupron, Menapure and Follistim. Hopefully this coctail won't make me crazy.
I'll go back to the doc on Black Friday to check to make sure I'm on track. If all goes well, eggs will come out on the 28th or 29th.

I'm Stuck on You
Don't you love getting shots. Try giving them to yourself. It's nice.
I've almost made it a full week taking Lupron. My first round of injections. For starters, I must say it is hard to stick a needle in your stomach. I don't care how little it may be, the fact is, there's a NEEDLE going into my skin and I don't appreciate it. My husband tells me to just look away and stick myself, but I'd rather not stab my hand in the process then have to try again. I just take a breath and ohhhhhhh. But it doesn't hurt. It's just the idea I'm doing it. Well, many more to come.
So far, it hasn't been to bad but today I was feeling the emotions. This morning on my long journey from the parking deck to the building at work I began sweating like a pig. I felt the tiny beads forming above my lips, my back, my chest, my pits... Keep in mind it's winter time. Luckily for me, this continued throughout the day. On my way home from work I sobbed when I saw this sad lab that had been hit on the side of the road. He was looking right at me! I swear his eyes were open and all I could see was my two little wieners! I'd die if something happened to them. Then I thought about the poor owners of this dog. They probably have no idea. Well, they are probably idiots because their dog should not have been on a busy road or outside in the freezing cold for that matter. This sobbing went on for several minutes. Then I began to realize, I was sad the dog got hit, but there isn't anything I can do and my dogs are perfectly fine inside (probably under a blanket somewhere)
Who knows what tomorrow will be like. Lupron 10

My first blog!
ok, here it goes. My first blog. Should I get the camera?
ummm, I speachless. I have two cakes in the oven at the moment. I'm sitting here in my fleece pj's a sweatshirt. I'm trying to figure out what the heck to do on this site. I'll get the hang of it before long.
The purpose of my blogs will be to entertain my mother's need for a journal in my life during IVF. Cary and I have been wanting kids for a while now. It just seems nothing is working for us. This month I began my IVF cycle. Next month, they will implant a few kids in my belly! Hopefully one day I will look back at this point in my life and laugh. Right now, I'm just trying to live it day by day.
More to come, this is my first blog so I don't want to get too detailed yet.
Stay tuned for a post about injections!
