Starting new

Hi everyone! I've decided to switch over to this blog from caringbridge (as I updated there). This is so cool! I've never blogged before. I don't know why this is so stinkin' exciting to me.

The latest around here is that we're now on 3 shots per night. I say we--it's just me. People ask me what Paul's doing during all of this. Basically, nothing--he's here for support (and he's pretty great with that!), but he has no pills, no shots, no suppositories, no patches, or any of this other stuff. I guess it's better that only one of us is going through this. We don't need 2 hormonal bitches in the house. Hahaha! Truthfully, it hasn't been that bad. Of course, it's only been 2 nights, but I don't really feel any different. No more emotional, though I do tend to cry a little harder at certain commercials and TV shows (I did that before anyway).

Anyway, I have to take shots of Lupron, Gonal, and Menopur. They're not hard to do and the needles are quite small. I feel a stick every now and then, but not bad. I was told that the average time on these shots is 10 days, which puts our projected egg retrieval date at about Saturday, Sept 29th. This means that 3-5 days later, the embryo transfer will take place. This works out perfectly with my school schedule--it wouldn't interfere, but anything can happen so those dates aren't set in stone. I think Kate is more excited than anyone that we're going through this. :)

That's it for now. I have a lot to do today, and I'm going to Springfield tomorrow for an overnight stay--Saturday, I'll go to my Gram's house to pick out stuff to bring home. We have little to no room here, but a lot of this is old, antique crap that can't belong to anyone else but us. Wish me luck.
