CD9
I gave myself the Follistim shot last night. It was very similar in size/amount as the
ovidrel shot, I just needed to figure out how to assemble and prep the pen a
bit. Thankfully there was a good video
on the pharmacy’s website for me to view.
I had a bit of a headache overnight and into this
morning. Not sure if it is caused by the
meds or not, but I feel a little wonky today too. I am excited for my CD10 monitoring appointment
tomorrow. Not super excited to drive to
the RE on a Saturday, but I am hoping to see the start of some good follicles. I am interested in seeing if the inject gives
me a good boost.
I let myself look up what the due date would be if we
conceive this cycle – around October 31st. I guess I am letting myself believe that it
is possible this cycle will work. The
past few cycles I didn’t really have good feelings about it working, so I didn’t
get my hopes up. This time I might be
setting myself up for disappointment, but I can’t help thinking about how nice
it would be to be able to tell people we are pregnant around mother’s day. I hope with all my being that I don’t have to
go through another Mother’s day feeling like an outsider.
I really hope this is YOUR cycle! And don't you love how easy the Follistim pen is?? Oh and I ALWAYS look at due dates, every single cycle so I don't think you're setting yourself up for disappointment - you're being positive and hopeful! I hope this cycle works and you get your Halloween due date!
