New plan

I have to up my dose by 25IU's I am a little concerned about my meds running out.I am supposed to continue this for the next 4 days and then go in on tuesday for another u/s and b/w.When they checked me today I had a couple very small follicles on my right side and I still have a cyst on my left.They are not concerned by the cyst but want to watch it.The follicles they said were maybe 6's at best.I am trying not to get discouraged but it just felt like bad news.On top everything I am still fighting this cold or whatever it is.Making me feel pretty yucky.On tuesday I will know further what my next step is.I guess this really doesn't change my transfer date if I respond to the higher dose. They were thinking they were gonna have me go in for it on the 24th if I had responded to the lower dose first. I guess when they gave me the 28th it was most likely worst case scenario.Which I am glad because that was the date I was planning on.But who knows even that could change.I will kep you all posted.Shot number 5 is done now of the higher dose.So onto number 6 tomorrow.

Say hello to my little friend...


So I had my first shot tonight.I tried to practice last night with a pen that had saline in it that my friend gave me (she is an MA) and I just could not bring myself to do it.I think the anticipation is what was getting to me.So I gave up and am having my MA friend do all my injections including my HCG shot.She gladly came over after work tonight to give it to me.And will do the same every day unless I tell her not to.We are not having DH do it because he gets a bit wuzzy (a lot more than wuzzy)when he thinks people are hurting me (just go back to my post about my mock transfer and read how he reacted to that) so having him do it would kind of make him and I both nervous.She is happy to do it and I have known her since we were both 3 so I am comfortable with her doing it plus she does this every day at work so she has lots of practice.Anyway it went well and didn't really hurt at all.Just a tiny sting of the very thin needle and pressure of the pen meeting the skin.So here we are 1 down and probably about 8-9 more to go.It could be more or less depending on how my body responds.I have blood work and an ultrasound on this Friday at 9:45 am. (yes those are my very warm, fuzzy,soft and pink pj pants in the pic,I have a few different pairs in different colors they are great,but pink is my favorite color)
