Ok - so I started off so proud of myself today. I gave myself my first shot right in the stomach! It was so weird. And painful. I mean, putting the needle in wasn't bad (although it was the part that freaked me out the most), but the medication burned like a son-of-a . . . .!!!!
So the nurse was so proud of me, and I was so proud of me - rather a good start to the day, doing something you didn't think you could do!
Well, then I call and get my lab results from this morning. My estradiol levels are running low at 151 ml. This is not good. If they don't spike above 500 by the time I go for egg retreival (which could be in a week or so), then they will cancel my cycle. Then all the meds and preparation will have been for naught.
I am honestly not sure if I can stand the disappointment. I just paged the on-call doctor to see about upping my dosage for tonight.
This is the IF roller-coaster. The day starts of one way, and ends in another. You never know what is going to happen next. Funny, I really like roller coasters at the amusement park.
Why doesn't this feel like as much fun?
And now the fatigue is closing in on me again. Is it OK to go to bed at 5:45 pm in the evening?
Oh, yeah. I have a kid and have to make him dinner . . .
I'll post later when I hear from the doctor.
