These are the happenings so far
So we started IVF. We are currently on Day 5 of medication. These have been some of the most difficult days that we have been through.
First we had to order the meds. These are a lot of specialty medications, so we can’t just roll up to our local Walgreen’s and pick them up. Had to get them from a specialty pharmacy shipped overnight. Which was a problem in itself because our bank was having an issue with online orders, and we had to pay extra for weekend shipping!!
I thought that I would be okay with the injections. Ha. Ha. Oh, you little naive sweetheart.
My husband has been SUCH a champ. Got all the medication arranged on a bookshelf, excepting the giant boxes in the fridge, and prepared for the first night.
I had almost an instant panic attack when I saw the amount of medication that needed to get shot into my belly. The needle is only about an inch and a half long, but it caused such terror that I immediately began freaking out.
Through the snot tears Mykel was able to stick the needle in and give my medications. It hurt SO BAD!! Like a constant stinging pain the whole time. But we endured! I feel buoyed up by the prayers of my family and I am grateful for each one! I’m going to do a post later on tips and tricks for injections.
Had my first ultrasound this morning and there were only SEVEN follicles!! I am a little upset about that as I have heard some women have up to 30 growing, but we will see. More may come...
This has been the Haps, hopefully we will have more news soon!
