Preparation

Tomorrow morning I will start all the new shots. I've been reading over all the instructions for everything. The only shot that I have had to think about is the Menopur shot. I have to mix 2 vials with the diluent, then switch the needle, then inject it, etc... I'm sure it won't be that complicated but it's definitely different than anything I've done so far. The Follistim injection I've done before so I honestly haven't given that one much thought. But, it can definitely be a lot when I'm thinking about everything together. Thank goodness I don't have to work until the afternoon because I will have my morning free to get through everything. When I wake up, I will have to do the 3 shots. Jack and I will both have to start our antibiotics - one pill in the morning, the other at night. And I'll continue the Metformin and Dexamethasone at night. I swear I feel like I should have a nursing degree when this is all over. I think I'm a pretty intelligent person but all this stuff is overwhelming at times. It is a lot to make sure that I'm measuring everything correctly and taking everything at the right times and injecting them the right way in the right places.

And, by the way, the side effects of that have definitely set in. I'm so bloated and feel so heavy. I know those feeling are just going to continue and likely get worse. Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.
