Moving along

It's now day five of injections. So far it's not too bad. Some shots are more uncomfortable than others. JP is doing a good job. He admits he doesn't like giving me my shots, I guess because he knows it's uncomfortable for me. I think choosing a spot that is less sensitive makes a difference, but there's never way to tell which spot of skin will hurt. I've really become a baby when it comes to needles. I was fine with blood tests, even as a kid. But since my surgeries at the beginning of this year, When they stuck that IV needle in my hand, I cringe every time I see a needle. Follistim still stings a little when injected, even though I ice the spot. The nurse said I wouldn't feel it at all. She lied! I wonder if it's an allergy. I'll ask my doctor tomorrow. I have another ultrasound and blood test then. My blood test yesterday came back normal, so everything is still going really well. I don't feel too weird from the hormones yet. On day two, I felt a little light headed. By day three I was fine, but I was extremely drowsy in the afternoon. I know sometimes I don't get a full eight hours, Ok a lot of the time, but that day, while at a store shopping, I swear I could have taken a nap right in the pillow display. Yesterday (day four) I had to get up early for my blood test and when I got home I did something I haven't done since we moved into this house, I went back to bed and slept till noon! I'm expecting to feel bloated and very sensitive in the ovary area pretty soon. The nurse told us during our group injections instructions class, that our ovaries would grow to the size of lemons, Ouch! She said to dress comfortable and that we're going to look about 9 months pregnant. I heard from other women that they looked 3 months pregnant, but your belly doesn't really go away once you do become pregnant. Once your ovaries get down to normal size the baby is like 3 months along. Anyway, Things are moving along pretty quick. I'm getting anxious now about getting to the Egg retrieval and then to the Embryo transfer. In a good way though. I'm not nervous really. I just can't wait until I hear the doctor say "you're going to have a baby".
