Take 3

I started a third cycle preparing for In-vitro and since I had some runaway follicles (cysts) that continued to grow we had to stop just before I started taking the Micro-dose lupron shots. Well this time I have made it to the shots. I took my first set today. I saw my beautiful niece today and she smiled when I walked into my parents house. I held her close and smelled that wonderful baby smell. We played on the floor and talked baby talk. Her gorgeous smile made me remember why I am putting myself through all of this drama AGAIN. I am eating better. I have gone to a chiropracter and you know what, I have faith that God is so much in control that no matter what happens it will be OKAY. The shot hurt like heck. I must have forgotten how to give it. I am going to the doctors office tomorrow for a tune-up lesson. I need to be good at giving shots because going through this demands a lot of them. The only part that I don’t like to do is the shake n bake when you have to mix up the concoction of gonal f and menopur. I feel like a druggy really. I’ts a new session and this one will be quicker, so I will have to post more often. I am on shots now and IVF (when they take the eggs and put them back) happens July 6-13. Keep hope alive.
