So, everything is looking good and the doctor said that as long as I understood and was comfortable with the risks of going forward with 3 follicles, we are good to go. I wouldn't say I feel "comfortable".... but I have always been a risk taker I suppose. Besides, then I wouldn't have to narrow down name choices to just 1 :)
I wasn't planning on having to do the HCG shots, I was under the impression that we were going to wait for me to naturally ovulate. I imagine we're doing it for the convenience of being able to schedule the IUI procedure. So, while I wasn't stoked at the idea of sticking a needle in my stomach, I am prepared to do what it takes.
I think the only thing worse then having to give myself (ok, making Adam give me) a shot in the stomach, is having to wake up at 2:30 in the morning to do it. That's right, 2:30 A.M. I set my alarm for 2:15 (I have never actually used my cell phone alarm) I figure that will give us 15 minutes to sleepily do something that should only take 1 minute. Convinced I was going to miss the alarm it takes me longer than normal to fall asleep, and I wake up 2-3 times an hour. So, 2:15 rolls around and I'm handing a half-awake Adam a long fat needle that he says "makes him feel a little queasy."

Sounds like you guys are lab partners back in science class. How fun! Good luck!
YAY for 3 good follies and nice thick lining! I only did the HCG shot once but I didn't have to mix it or anything?? I will cross my fingers and toes that your timing is good and the little swimmers find at least one egg in the next few days!
Hi there...found your blog from a friend's blog, from a friend's blog...you know...blog surfin' :-) Totally laughed at your description on the HCG shot. I had to do the same thing...husband giving me the shot and all! I pray you get your miracle, too (I know how trying it is). Miracles do happen though- we're still praying all the time for ours...and to have the faith that it will happen soon!
Hopefully you'll have some great news soon!! We are praying for you!

Ay, best wishes with this, Jetta.
Though I admit it took me a minute on your blog to figure it out (the picture was so small & since we lived in TN for 5 years, I was sure at first it was a TN friend I was looking at), I am DE-LIGHTED to have heard from you on Marian's. So kind of you to follow our little drama.
Love, Valerie
oops; didn't notice my husband was signed it.
Okay, the eye Dr. called your corneas 'beefy'?! I don't know why that makes me feel so icky, way worse than the thickness of uteran lining! Good luck, we will be praying for ya. I don't want to freak you out but I can TOTALLY see you being an awesome mom of multiples. Though starting out with one does seem ideal doesn't it? :)
Holy moly...good luck. I wish you absolute success this cycle! I am glad I never had to have the shots!
I don't envy you and hope it is well worth it and everything goes smoothly from here on out.
Best Wishes Jetta! I didn't "get" all th lingo, but it sounds good! You're in my prayers!
Love,
Leann
