Cruising along

I keep thinking I'm going to post, but the last few weeks have been nuts. I think being so busy at work spills over into the rest of the day. It's probably a combination of the morning workouts and work - and the lupron.... I'm pretty much blaming everything on that ;) Time has been dragging a bit since I finished off the BCP and it seems like it will never be time for ER/ET, but then I look at a calendar and realize how quickly it will all be happening.

The injections have been going pretty well. My 3rd one left a pretty decent bruise. I think I'll try to post pictures eventually. It's been a week and a half and it's still a really dark purple. Once DH got back from his work trip, I started having him do the injections for me. It's a pretty sweet deal - I just point out the time and he does all the work. Hopefully, that will help when it comes time for the PIO. He'll have done a few injections and I'll have developed trust that he won't kill me.

My baseline was uneventful (well, besides the fact that they thought my appointment was 2 hours earlier than I did....) - so just waiting to start stims. Only a couple more days. I've heard that things go really quickly once stims and monitoring start - with Thanksgiving being next week I think time will go even faster!

Other than that, today has been a nice lazy-ish day. DH and I ran the local cross-country race we've signed up for the last few years (I say signed up because last year we only got a quarter mile in before I tripped and sprained my ankle). After we got all showered and warm, we went to find some extra lupron syringes. I have the 14-day lupron kit and was supposed to get extra (I guess I suck at inventory because I didn't realize they didn't give me extra until Thursday night)- since the mail order pharmacy won't ship them overnight, we had to find some ourselves.

The oversight really worked to my advantage. There is a local pharmacy with an old-fashioned soda fountain/counter that the clinic "recommends" and I had been looking forward to going. I was pretty bummed when I found out my insurance requires a specific mail order pharmacy for this stuff. DH and I drove into the down town and stopped in for a late lunch - including a milk shake for him and root beer float for me. We also picked up the supplies - free of charge! I wasn't expecting that at all. The pharmacist just asked what I needed and handed me a bunch.

I really think we'll have to go back the next time I have a craving for a malt or sundae!

Oh yea, my coworker found out last weekend that her first IVF worked! I am so happy for her but still afraid of how much it will suck if mine doesn't. She told a lot of people she was doing it, so I've gotten to hear a lot of random comments. Mostly they point out the obvious - that going through IVF and having it not work would suck - but they aren't really things I want or need to hear with where I am in the cycle.
