SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS!!!!



Day 2 of Egg Donor Cycle!

Yesterday I started my shots... EEK! They really aren't that bad to be honest. I have to put them in my stomach and it's "thick enough" it doesn't hurt as bad. Just a tiny sting! Jason is giving me my shots at night since it freaks me out a little. The shot I give myself in the morning is almost like an epi pen so it's east to give.

I went to my last appt on Thursday for blood work and ultra sounds then later that evening I received an email from my nurse saying I'm DEFINITELY ready to start the process after looking at the ultra sound pictures of my ovaries and my blood work levels. I looked at Jason and told him he was sleeping on the couch!! HA HA! Don't even hug me!! I'm so thankful I have someone I can joke with and who respects my decisions for helping other families. I even think he enjoys giving me the shots at night which is really cute in my eyes. He loves helping me out and always ask how I'm feeling knowing I cramp a lot while going through the process of being a chicken and growing extra eggs. Sweet fella!

I woke up this morning cramping and took some meds to ease the crampy pains then gave myself  my morning shot. It's Saturday morning and I can't sleep in so I decided to come to Panera and enjoy a little couch time with some hazelnut coffee. Also an oh so yummy whole grain bagel with veggie cream cheese! And of course the people watching is AHHHMAZING here! Trying to keep my mind of cramps and trying to pump myself up to go to Walmart for our weekly trip for groceries and other things... yay. :(

I have all of my appointments set up for the next week and the "harvest" of my eggs should be the week of the 15th. I'm guessing it will happen on Thursday the 18th. They put me to sleep and I wake up egg free! The best part is they play some Jimmy Buffett so I can go off to la la land dreaming about the beach! Love my doctor and the staff their!!! WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!!!

I guess it's time for me to get off my nest for a while and head to Walmart for the things we need... the worst part... it's tax free weekend and EVERYONE will be there! Oh Joy!! Please oh please have more than 5 registers open!!!

Later peeps! hehe!

All of my meds for the next two weeks!

Blood work...blood work... blood work!



This is where the "magic" happens... hahaha!



Let's take a looksy at my ovaries!

This thing goes where??? The ultra sound probe! AHHH!
