IVF day 1

I had my first appt with our RE today, preparing for IVF. my ultrasound showed 40+ follicles in each ovary, and doc said their sizes looked good although he didnt give me any measurements. He was definitely surprised at the quantity tho, and I will have to be monitored closely so I dont hyperstim. I just did my first injections of low dose hcg and gonal-f. Hopefully I did it right! Next appt is Saturday! :)

My appointment consumed a whopping 30 minutes of my day, so what else have I been up to? Fun times! I read the latest issue of In Touch magazine, cover to cover. I ate bon bons. I worked on a few puzzles out of the variety book that my coworkers got me. I taught myself a new crochet stitch, and started a new scarf. (The pattern said it was a 90 minute scarf, but I invested about 2 hours and have only finished 5 rows. Grr!) Productive day! :)

One day down, 17 to go! ;)

Sleepless in Sandy

The time has come! Tomorrow is the big day! Woot!!!!

I have been here in Sandy (suburb of SLC) for 2 hours now, and I'm exhausted! And wide awake! :/ There are a million thoughts going thru my mind right now. I cannot believe that tomorrow is the start of something big. I would be lying if I said I wasnt nervous. Honestly, I'm scared to death. I'm gonna have a ton of information thrown at me tomorrow and I'm not totally sure I can keep it all straight. I'm not really nervous about the procedure itself, mostly the mixing and injecting of my meds. I don't do needles. Period. So that along with dosing of my meds is not a good combination. Not to mention that I suck at math, so I will probably be the girl who is supposed to take 1 unit of medicine but ends up injecting 100. Gah!

But other than the medicine/needles thing, I'm overwhelmed! I will be pregnant soon! The next time I set foot in our apartment, there will be a baby in me! How crazy is that?

Well, I suppose I should make another attempt at sleeping. Keep those prayers coming! They're working! :)
