Day Three

Day three was basically all about meds. We sat down at a table and we went over paperwork, the confusing drug regimen, and the how to's of mixing the meds. And let me say... I will definitely need multiple refreshers. It was a lot of information. You have different syringes for different meds with different needles and tip... then you have to mix this liquid with this powder, then mix that solution with this solution, then mix it one more time with this solution... and on and on. But my nurse promised she's refresh my memory as it came time for each medicine.

The Lupron is given in just one shot in the upper butt. There are two types. Shots that are injected into the muscles in the upper butt and then the kind that are just injected into the skin in around the belly button area. And I this one is done in the hip. The muscle shots are supposed to be the bad ones. Well... when she did the Lupron which is in the muscle... I seriously didn't feel a thing. So I'm no longer concerned about the pain of the shots. I know some will hurt or burn worse than others, but I can handle all of that. I just hope Nathan can handle giving me the butt shots!

Tonight I have to do my pre-procedure stuff and then of course, nothing to eat or drink after midnight. My dear friend, Marcia will be taking me to my procedure since Nathan cannot (which by the way he is having a very stressful week!) I am so grateful for Marcia's kindness and support. Having her in my life is definitely a God-thing.

Oh and its looking like our egg retrieval will likely happen in about two and a half weeks. That can always change based on all the factors involved, but that's our current time estimate.

I'll definitely post a Day Four update after my procedure.
