Meds

As promised...here's a picture of all of the hormones I will be subjecting my body to over the next month. Crazy huh? Only 7 more days on birth control and then I'll start stims next Thursday. I have a suppression check with the doctor here (timing didn't work out to go to my doctor in Jackson) on Tuesday morning. So as long as that goes okay and I don't have any cysts, everything will be a go!

And Here We Go!

Well my period started this morning - two days late...ugh! I was so nervous that it was going to start all last week. If it had started early it would have been terrible because it would have meant me missing some of my last week of school. So the good news is that won't be happening! The bad news is that I will probably end up needing to change my flight home from Denver. Oh well. I'll probably just get a voucher from Southwest and use the flights later for R and I to go on a couple trip during labor day or something. We deserve it! =)

So now I start birth control on Thursday - yuck! And then 14 days after that is when all the fun begins! I got my meds a few days ago and let me tell you - it is a lot! I am going to be on double the amount of meds that I've ever been on before and that's scary. When I have a chance I'll take pictures of it all and post it on here. All of my friends who have done some sort of fertility treatment with injections tell me to take pictures each time so that you can always remember what you went through to get your baby. Not that I think I'll ever forget!

Getting Nervous

As the time gets closer, I am getting more and more nervous about starting this whole process again. I'm excited, don't get me wrong, but I am dreading the effects on my body. I am especially not excited about starting the birth control in a few days. For some reason, that part is always the worst to me. It's hormonal effects are always so much worse than the shots. Of course this time I will be on so many hormones that I may be inserting my foot into my mouth pretty soon! I'm not excited about the weight gain, or the acne, or the bruises from the needles. But, I know it is all worth it - we hope!

I am excited about going to Denver in the spring time. Every time I've been it has been beautiful weather, but a little chilly. I'm excited about getting outdoors and enjoying the scenery more!

Anyway, I expect things to start here any day! My body is telling me that AF (aunt flow) is on her way. I just hope that she holds off until Sunday so that I don't have to change flights!
