IVF Day 3

My second injection went quite a bit better than my first. It didn't seem to hurt as much as the first and I was more comfortable injecting myself. I am actually excited each day to give myself my shot because I know it is bringing me one step closer to my dream of having children. I am feeling very positive and hopeful right now, as I think I should, because it just might help me get pregnant. I just hope the menopur and antagon shots are similar.

Yesterday's headache resolved 2 hours after 2 tylenols, dr pepper, and dark chocolate :) I woke up today without a headache - yay! But I am starting to feel a little one developing. Maybe I should attempt to stop it in its tracks with more chocolate? lol. In other news, I am feels some twinges and fullness in my lower abdomen, which I am guessing is either because 1) I am hyper-aware of my lower abdomen and am probably just noticing normal intestinal movement or 2) I am bloated, possibly from my medications.

Tomorrow I start double injections and only 3 days until my follicle check! I have been visualizing growing a good number of high quality eggs. I hope that there are a lot developing, but mostly that is because I hope we get enough embryos that we can freeze some to create siblings for our baby later.

  2. Good for you! Both for the positive attitude and the super-strength to give yourself the shoots. I'll keep positive thoughts going for you :)
