We are already more than halfway done already with our IVF cycle! Hard to believe that next week we will be finished with this crazy stuff and hopefully be pregnant.
Today was a special day as I was stuck with more needles than most could imagine. I had my blood drawn (and an ultrasound) at my appointment this morning, my two daily super duper fun shots and my first accupuncture appointment. If I didn't feel like a pincushion before, i do after today! The accupuncture isn't a requirement, but after lots of research and a referral from a friend I decided it couldn't hurt our chances of a successful transfer. Of course it is another added expense that isn't cheap! We decided our child will now be born with gold chains AND a gold "grill.". :)
I loved the accupuncture. It was one of the most relaxing things I have ever experienced and I have been in an amazing mood today. And for those close to me know, those days have been few and far between since starting IVF.
Things are good and moving along at a steady pace. I was told today that I now have to go into the dr again tomorrow, which leaves my only day off this week Thanksgiving. I am thankful for that for sure :).
Had another funny shot moment this weekend... The hubs and I went out of town for a night and decided to stop at the outlet malls in Roundrock on the way home. We shopped longer than we thought and before we realized it was 30 minutes past my shot time! We rushed to the car and Chris played chemist in the car and gave me both my shots. Hilarious. He kept worrying someone was going to call the cops and report us for doing drugs! Ahhh... This journey is at least bringing about plenty of laughs :).
Here's to a great week!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family!
Blessings,
