Progress...the life of an IVFer

It's almost midnight, I should be sleeping.  I realize I haven't really updated in a few days so...what better time than now.  Tomorrow will be one week on Lupron.  The injections are going really well..No real problems thus far...I'm the master shot giver now...and trust me, this is a major step for me.  It has always been in my file at the doc's office for me to lie down when the needle comes out because I'm out like a light...but I have gotten over my fear of needles..So far, I have given myself every shot except for 2...My husband did the very first, which was smoothe sailing, no pain...then a couple of days later he did it again and I screamed...So, now he refuses to give me the shots.  I have lots of small little holes in my tummy now, and today is started bruising finally.... But, so far so good...No real Lupron side effects except some numbness in my hand...but it didn't last long...

I had a super major meltdown today..I got my Gonal F pens from the docs office on January 27th and my injection teaching...I brought them home and stuck them in the fridge.. Today when I poored my bag out with all of my needles, I found a pen that hadn't been put in the fridge...I cried and screamed and got so sick...That pens costs $798....I thought it was ruined and of course the doctors office was closed and the operator didn't find that enough of an emergency to page the nurse...So I called Freedom Fertility Pharmacy and spoke with a phramacist...he told me to breathe..hehe..but said that since the pen hadn't been used it would be fine.  That once they reach room temp, they're good for 90 days, which is way longer than my cycle will last, so I'm good...It is now safely tucked in the cold fridge with the others...what a day.... Anyways, I ask that you all keep praying for us and that we get a sweet little baby out of this...or two... And please pray for my friends Brad and Julie...The docs removed a cancerous mass from his throat yesterday, and now are waiting to find out what type of cancer and if it's metastisized...this is my opportunity to be there for my friends...as a couple that has dealt with and survived the ugliness of cancer..it is my duty to help at least her through this..to tell her all I know about coping and staying strong...
