Well I have just about got this shot thing down, I can almost do it with my eyes closed! (ha ha) I am on CD 6 and have my first b/w on Wednesday to measure my E2. I'm hoping for something over the 200 range from what I have researched. =) The higher the better. I go for my first u/s to see how many folliciles I am growing on Friday. I don't think that day can come soon enough! I keep thinking "5" folliles, like the song 12 days of Christmas and how they sing "5 Golden Rings"! Well I am singing "5 Ripe Follicles!" (ha ha)
I am still doing 4 shots a day on my tummy. I had to go to my thigh for some of them cause my tummy is sooooo tender and bruised. And I still have a week left! My DH left today for a few days on business to Southern CA so it's just me and the dog here. I am going to try to stay busy, I have a list of things to do and even a few Christmas presents to wrap. DH and I agreed we are not buying anything this year since we had to spend $2800 on meds last week. (good old Visa)
But I bought these presents for him before we agreed to no gifts! (sneaky me...ha ha) He's been wanting a Model Airplane, so I got him one awhile ago. =) I am planning on getting our Christmas Decoration down from the Garage and decorating the house while DH is gone. Might as well do something productive and positive while I am passing the time, right?
I am still doing my acupunture and other vitamins etc...But I have to complain a little bit. I am SOOOOOO tired of being stuck with needles so often. Between giving myself shots, my RE doing blood work, and then Acupunture I am being stuck almost everyday!
Well actually yes, everyday over 4 times a day! I am so stick of it.
Yesturday was a hard day for me. It might be the drugs, I hear they make you emtional. I had a friend call me and tell me about her pregnancy. She's 27 weeks and is excitely planning her nursrey. I was sick to my stomach (upset and crying) after I got off the phone with her. All I want is to be able to have my normal life back and be able to get pregnant normally with out spending thousands of dollars. I was so upset, but today is much better.
I am focusing on the positives and keep reminding myself to picture what I want, not what I fear. =) And what I want is a beautiful baby! I keep picturing myself calling my friends and telling them about my + HPT and I keep picturing myself telling my family and DH he's finally going to be a daddy. I keep picturing the + HPT....as I have yet to see what one looks like with my OWN eyes! (ha ha) It will happen, right ladies! Right! And hopefully THIS cycle. =)
You just keep picturing all of those wonderful things and they will happen in no time!
I can't believe that you are giving yourself the shots. I couldn't do it. Thank God DH was always around. He liked doing it too.
How is the accupuncture working for you? I tried it for my migraines but it did not work for me. I was using the herbs too. I guess those migraines are just too darn stubborn! I know many people for whom it for--and in many different situations.
I am sorry about your friend calling with the pg news. I know it can get hard sometimes. Just remember that you will have your dream someday.
You sound so great. I almost fainted when I read your post about spending $2800 on meds. I can't ever complain again about spending $50 on Clomid and about $30 on OPK kits. I am praying for you so much. I wish that you have the best present of all this Christmas. You and DH have gone through so much. It will happen for you and DH!!!! You are a trooper. What does the acupuncture do exactly? Hang in there.
You have such a good attitude. Im with you on that friend thing. I've almost become a recluse because of that sort of thing. You are a dynamic person indeed. You seem to bounce right back. I do hope you get that Christmas wish this year!!!!
