I am finally doing injects (injections for IVF). Tomorrow will be my 7th day of them. OUCH!!! Someone forgot to mention that the needle itself wouldn't hurt but the medication and the pain in my ovaries would SUCK! I have every single side effect - as my nurse says, I am one of the "unlucky ones"! Just super right?
Yesterday I went in for my 7 day ultra sound and blood work to see how my follices are growing. I have 30 follies growing but they weren't as big as they should have been. SOOOO they had to up my medication! So now I am up to 3 shots a day and within the next couple days I will be doing 4. I seriously hope this works!
My wonderful side effects that they forgot to mention are - Severe bloating (looks like I am about 9 months pregnant after my injects), worst migraines I have ever had, so dizzy I can barely stand most of the time, shooting pains through my stomach, my poor ovaries feel like punching bags for professional boxers, and if you even come near my stomach I may knock you out! Ugh, I can do this. Not to much longer and I will get to do egg retrieval, then transfer and hopefully 9 months see my beautiful perfect baby that is going to be a hell child because it has already caused mommy so much pain and it isn't even concieved yet!
I go back in tomorrow for a 9 day scan to see how the follies are doing since they increased the meds, hopefully they are finally going to be over achievers and shock the doctors at how many and how perfect they are! ---Hey, I can dream right?---
I do have to say one thing. I have the most amazing, caring, loving husband in the world! Even going through all this pain I am falling more in love with him because of how amazing he has been through this whole thing :)
Stay tuned - more to come...
