I Forgot What I Was Doing

So did Austin. One would think that after the umpteen injections last cycle that this cycle would be super easy.  Like riding a bike... you just pick up right where you left off. Not so much. My first set of injections I used a needle instead of a Q-cap  (it's a little tool you use to move meds from one vial to another and draw them back up completely so you don't miss any fluid) which meant I had to start over.  I also didn't get the dang air bubble out so I had to re inject. (3 pokes for 1 shot ) the second poke it was like the needle had dulled. Kylee and I couldn't stop laughing because my skin was dented in, but the darn thing would go through. It was one of those. I'm not sure why I'm laughing moments because this hurts like hell. Inappropriate and out of place laughter is pretty common when my family is involved. :)

Austin did my shots the second day.  Whew, now I can't screw them up! (Well that part is right, but who says he can't!?!)   He mixed and prepped everything perfectly, but I think he was remembering my booty shots. Those require a little more umph, to get the big needle all the way in.  I felt like a frickin dart board.  He came at me like we were in a dark alley and he wanted my wallet.  It kind of felt like I had been stabbed.  It was a loving stab of course. (You are wonderful hubs and I appreciate you poking me... even when it hurts for a whole day)  Note to selves and anyone giving anyone a shot for fertility purposes:

Tummy Shots = tiny jab       Booty Shots = medium-ish jab

Round three of shots went perfectly. Austin is after all a shot giving rock star he just needed a warm up round to get back into the swing of things. So my pictures aren't very exciting this round.   We started at a super high dose and have done the same thing every day:

300 IU Gonal
150 IU Menopur

I went in for blood work Monday and my estrogen was at a 63. Last cycle this time it was less than 10 so I am hopeful that things are going a little better this round :) I have a sono on Wednesday and more blood work that will tell us more about how things are shaping up this time.
