Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! It's been an interesting day here and I have a few things that I need to get to. First, Jim was able to bypass some stuff and we now have internet service here at the house again. I know this doesn't sound romantic but I bought Jim a new hard drive for Valentine's Day....I feel like such a wife. So I'm confident that he'll get everything back up and running again shortly.
Jim and I spent most of the day in Albuquerque. We had our doctors appointment, ran a few errands, and then had a descent Valentine's dinner. We ate at the Black Angus Steakhouse and while Jim and I enjoyed each other company the food certainly could have been better. Oh well, maybe we'll have better luck next time.
Anyway let me move on to our doctors appointment. We had our baseline ultrasound today to make sure that the Lupron is doing what it's suppose to, and to make sure that my uterine lining is thin. So far things look great! My ovaries are suppressed like they are suppose to and my lining also looks great. I was then given my instructions for the next few days. I start stimulating my ovaries with more medication on Saturday morning. Starting Saturday I will be giving myself five injections per day...yes you read that correctly five injections, three in the morning and two in the evening. As the nurse put it...I'll start to resemble a battered wife. My next doctors appointment is Tuesday morning and from there I will be in Albuquerque every day for ultrasounds and blood work until we have our egg retrieval.
This process is starting to feel real now since we officially wiped out our bank account today when I paid for the IVF procedure. My anxiety is also starting to go up. I feel very anxious on so many levels. I know I need to just focus on the end result but a part of me can't help but think I just left a shitload of money at the IVF casino and I'll be playing the slots for the next two weeks praying that I hit the jackpot.
Lupron (5 IU)
Baby Aspirin (81 mg)
Prenatal Vitamin
Lexapro
Trazadone
