Stimming

I haven't posted an update, partially because there hasn't been much to say, and we've been so busy with Craig's teaching tests and my recent sessions and bridal shows!  I tried to plan our IVF weeks to be nice and relaxing, but with the start date getting delayed 2x, things just haven't worked out as planned.   I am working like a mad woman this week to try to finish all my projects and CLEAN, so that next week and the week following can be restful.

Ok, on to stims.  Started my two stimming meds on Saturday.  I was really nervous about the Menopur.  We had already taken this medication when I did stims for the IUIs (Inseminations), and it often stung. But this time my dosage is double (2 powders to 1 liquid), so that means its alot thicker.  I was afraid it would burn like....well, really bad.  Poor Craig's hands were shaking so bad as he mixed everything and prepped our needles.  All went fine, and only minor stinging from the Menopur.

Emotionally, we're doing ok.  I don't think it will truly hit me until we have our first sonogram (to look at how many follicles are developing).  Right now it just seems like a weird part of my bedtime routine, and I'm trying not to think everything else! :)

Blood work tomorrow and Sonogram on Thursday. Until then...
