Got Meds For IVF #1

When I saw all the list of meds I would be using for IVF #1 I got a little overwhelmed. Well, today I got the actual box of meds....holy crap!! I had seen other girls on the message board talk about or even put pictures up of their meds but until now I never realized just how many there were! Thankfully this all won't require multipul injections, only one...at least I think only one for now. The nurse explained how I would reconstitute the Menopur and then add my Follistim to that vial and the mixed meds would be drawn into a syringe for one injection. She made it sound like quite a bit could be mixed into the vial so that is good. The less needles I have to stick myself with the better!

Fourth Time Is Not A Charm

So apparently the Christmas spirit didn't make any difference on our last IUI...it was negative. It's a very strange feeling to be sitting in a car dealership, waiting for you truck to get an oil change and getting you Beta results. Although I do have to say it forced me to keep it together, nothing like bursting into tears and having people wonder what the hell is going on! Now I am waiting for AF to get here and I go in for CD3 monitoring. We are also going in on the 18th for an appointment with the RE for a "Ok what do we do next" meeting, at which I'm pretty sure we are going to talk about going to IVF. It seems so strange, scarey, and exciting all at the same time to think that we are on our way to that. I just can't believe a year ago we knew nothing of all this, we just knew that we were waiting for February so we could tell the OBGYN that it had been a year off BCPs and get our next steps.

Nothing really planed for the day. We are going out later to look at phones for me, and I'm pretty sure I will be coming home with a new one. Yay! :) Other than that, we might go up to our friends' house, but we aren't sure.

I'm Eating Again!!

Yesterday was the big day...I got out of the house and started eating more than just toast and soup! Yay! It's been snowing every day since Thursday and today has been the worst. It's snowed all day ranging from teeny, tiny flakes to great big ones. For the most part though it's been pretty steady and I'd say we got about 2 inches or so. DH and I went out and tried to go to a fireplace store but they were closed so we tried another one that was also closed. Basically we went 20 minutes south, turned around drove 20 minutes back north, then went another 15 minutes farther north...all for nothing! lol After that we went shopping across the river at Gander Mountain, which is where I discovered I was missing my phone!! AHHHHH! DH tried calling it but we didn't hear anything, and I thought I might have knocked it out of my purse when we were still at home. Some how though I was convinced it was laying in the driveway. So when we got home I checked the driveway where I got in the truck and in the living room...nothing. I got DH's phone and called mine and still didn't hear anything. So I bundled back up, stepped out onto the porch and saw a glow in the snow!! My poor little phone was burried under about a 1/2 inch of snow and was soooo cold. After wiping it off, making sure the battery compartment didn't get wet and letting it warm up it still works just fine. Yay!! Although this was perfect timing because according to Verizone I'm eligible for an upgrade as of tomorrow! lol I know I am getting a new phone but I just have to figure out how much it's going to cost me...I really, really, REALLY want a Droid!

On the IF front not much is going on. We are (mostly) patiently waiting for Friday when I go in for my Beta. Once again I don't "feel pregnant", but I guess at the same time I don't "feel not pregnant". At least I know that we have our new insurance and authorization in place for IVF if/when it comes to that. It is such a relief to know we have that. Seriously I almost cried when the first lady gave me our ID number and then when the second gave me my auth numbers. So for now it's sit...and wait...and shove Prometrium in myself...and try to hold out for Friday.
