Stim Day 8

Meds:
Same as yesterday.

Today was spent doing nothing with my boo. It was great. We slept in (after I woke up at 6, did my injections and went back to sleep) and then watched some DVR stuff. We went shopping this afternoon for the last of the stuff to finish my faith quilt and then out to dinner. We tried walking around the mall, but I just couldn't do it. I am very bloated/crampy/twingey right now and feel like I might pop. I had trouble sitting at a 90-degree angle at the restaurant and had to lean the car seat back for the drive home. Even now as I type this, I'm leaning at an odd angle.

I loaded my last follistim cartridge this morning. I called and left a message for the nurse on call about this fact. I figured out that after tonight and tomorrow mornings doses, I'll only have 300ish units left. She called back and said they anticipate I'll need more than 300 units and that I could have some of theirs until my order comes in and then I'll replace the one they gave me with my order. Confusing, no? It seems easier if I could just BUY their follistim. Whatever. Tomorrow morning, I go in for another ultrasound and blood draw.

Tomorrow at work my temp is going to be working with me to get the feel of the job. I'm looking forward to this. I hope she and the little one hit it off right away. I'm planning on getting a lot of fall/winter clothing swapped in and the summer/spring stuff put away in both girls' rooms while the temp entertains the little one. The older one goes back to preschool tomorrow. Hallelujah!!! Plus, if all goes well, I'll leave during nap time and be home to rest early. This is good because I've also been extremely tired as of late. It's hard work growing all these eggs!

New mantra/wish/prayer: 10+ perfect eggs at retrieval. I have faith that we'll get there.
