Trip to ATL #1

Tomorrow (Tuesday April 21st) we are off to Atlanta for an appointment for a baseline ultrasound. This is over a week after starting my Lupron shots and they want to make sure it's doing it's job, which is stopping ovulation. I don't know if it does anything else. lol So, Shane and I will be out early in the morning for our 10:30am appointment. It'll be nice seeing P tomorrow. We haven't seen each other in a few months since the original cycle back in January. We'll go to lunch with her to catch up. She's so wonderful! I hate we won't get to see K, though. Duty calls. We'll be back tomorrow evening and then I'll get to add more medicines to my agenda. :) You know, no matter how many times I have given myself that Lupron shot, it just doesn't get any easier. Some nights it's not too big of a deal and other nights, like last night, I feel like it's my first time and I just stand there hesitating and frozen as though my mind can't transfer the signal to my hand. It really doesn't hurt, not everytime at least. Sometimes it doesn't hurt at all and other times it does hurt, but it's so quick and temporary. I mean, HELLO Alyson, I've had natural childbirth enduring hours of back to back contractions that are far more painful than anything I've ever felt, yet I'm a wimp when I go to give myself a silly little injection. hehe Oh, the joys!
Well, just 3 more weeks til transfer!! So close!!!

  2. Haha Well, you do what you have to do, but honestly b/c of my nursing background and having given others shots, I think it's made it easier. BUT, nevertheless, still hard. :) Thank you for your kind words and support!!
