Tonight about 8:30 pm we will begin our first round of shots. Tonight I will get my first Lupron (hormone) shot which prevents ovulation. I will be on this shot until on/around August 23rd. The second shot is Lovenox which I was on before when they thought I was taking birth control with estrogen. This shot is to prevent blood clots and I will be on this my entire pregnancy. So if all goes according to plan, my last Lovenox shot will be sometime next May.
I am on these two shots until August 12th. On the 12th, I'll be on Lupron, Lovenox, and stimulation medication until I go in for my egg retrieval which is scheduled for August 18th or 19th.
Please pray for David as it really does pain him to have to give me these shots! He feels absolutely horrible. I told him that I get a present if I "behave" during all of this and don't cry too much during the shots. I really think that he deserves the presents...maybe I should get working on that!
Good luck! And just remember why you are doing all of this!! It will be worth it in the end!! I remind myself of this everytime I throw up brushing my teeth...this too shall pass, but what will not is the love you have for eachother and that little baby you are trying so hard to conceive!! Love and prayers for all of you!!!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers your way! and like Anna said- it'll all be worth it in the end!
