AUGUST 10,2008

Today is August 8, 2008. I had to go back to Cincinnati for a blood test to see if I'm down regulated. So we can determine our artificial day 1. Then we will know when the transfer will be. And I will know when I have to start taking the Progesterone in oil shots, they go in your rear!!! OUCH! That is a big needle........

August 10,2008, today is day 1. I can start following our treatment plan and it looks like we will transfer on day 20.

8-24-08, Day 15, I stop taking Lupron shots, thank goodness, I have retained alot of water from these shots!

8-17-08, Day 17, I start taking the PIO shots, at nite!! Oh no. yes I'm scared, first its a big stinkin needle, second, its a big stinkin needle.....

No one, I repeat NO ONE wants to give me this shot. My sis was going to attempt it, but she left. Not too sure I wanted her to do it anyway.

So Jen, my neighbor came over, she gave me the shot. It really wasn't that bad. I did alot of research on how to take the shot. You have to cool the skin then warm the muscle. Its a whole big routine. About 30 mins later and your done. But I worried for nothing.

I let Jen do it 4 times, then I decided "I can do this" I had read that some woman have given it to themselves. So I wanted to see if I could. No problem. I did it!!
