Should be last night of stims!

We'll back track a bit here to Friday night. Friday was my 8th night of stims....I've already gotten the bruises and whatnot as you've seen already so each night is getting more and more difficult to find places for these shots. Jim and I went out to dinner with my parents after work. Since it was during my stim time, I just took the stims with me and excused myself to the bathroom to take them. Things were going ok until the last one the Lovenox. I don't know why but it wasn't going into my skin and it hurt....so I started crying. I don't think anyone was in the bathroom thank goodness. I decided to stop poking myself for no good reason and try again later. So teary eyed with my green Follistim case in tow, I headed back to the dinner table. My mother was insistent that I take the shot. I had planned on it, it just wasn't working. When I got home that night, I ended up able to take it....probably because I was a lot less worked up about it.

Saturday morning I woke up early and headed to the RE for my next monitoring appointment. Things were looking great! E2 was 3000 exactly and had lots of follicles growing at nice paces. My largest was a 15 and the rest were between 10-14. Jim and I had a wedding to go to, so I drew up my meds and packed them up and we left for the ceremony. Well of course, the RE's office calls to tell me they're changing my med dosage. It of course couldnt' have been a change on the Follistim, where I just would dial a different number, but no of course its to the low dose hcg that I predrew from the vial before we left. Ugh. I told the nurse what happened and asked if we should turn around and go back home to redraw the meds. She said as long as I was home and took them around 10pm it should be fine. It was actually nice for a change not hiding out in a public bathroom shooting up:)  On the downside we had to leave the wedding really early to get me back home in time to take the proper dosage of meds.

This morning I was back at the RE for another monitoring appt. since it seems that we're at the every day stage now....my poor veins. Today's results are still improving but seem to be slowing down a tad so they're having me do one more night of meds, back tomorrow and most likely trigger tomorrow for a Wednesday ER. I'm imagining that my e2 will be pretty close, if not slightly over, 4000 by the time I trigger. This will be my highest e2 by far and for a similar range of follies. I'm hopeful that's a good sign and we'll get more mature and fertilized this round. So back tomorrow it is for what's likely to be my last monitoring appointment....maybe ever!

I'm supposed to open the office the next two weeks. On one hand I like getting out 1/2 hour earlier but that also means I have to get there an hour earlier....and tomorrow should be fun with my 6:15am monitoring appointment. Oh boy! Well I'll update later after tomorrow's appointment!
