The next step: Stims

So had my baseline ultrasound on Tuesday morning.  All looked good and quiet, just like they like.  Nice thin lining (since I had just had AF), a bunch of little follies (follicles) on each side, no cysts or anything.  They drew my blood, and I sat down with the nurse.  She wasn't sure if I'd start then or wait, so she'd have to call me back to verify.  She did say that I would start out on 125 IU of Follistim.  Oh yeah, and I left and forgot to pay.  Oops.

So, she called back and said they wanted me to wait to start stims until Friday.  Tonight.  I was a little bummed, but it was OK.  I'm doing really good so far with just going with the flow this cycle.  I am a little nervous to start the stims tonight though.  I know it'll be OK, but it's just a little nerve wracking.  So I have 13 minutes until shot time.

Next ultrasound and bloodwork are Monday morning at 7am.  I'll let you all know how it goes!!

oh suppression how i love thee

First, if you are visiting from ICLW, welcome! I always love finding new blogs!

So I took my 4th suppression shot last night. The fun side effects that I so remembered are creeping back up. I'm having a tough time waking up because I'm so exhausted. I'm a little warmer than normal, but no full blown hot flashes yet. I'm dealing with some constipation. And the dreams!

Last night I dreamt about a girl I'm no longer friends with. We were out with some of my other friends and she got a tomato. She went to say hi to another friend and while she was gone I chowed on her tomato. So I went to find her and give her a couple bucks because I ate her tomato. She was sitting with these other people and had gotten dinner and was drunk, and was all mad at me for eating her tomato and not joining her for dinner.

Um, ok. This girl was my drinking buddy back when and we haven't talked in years. It broke my heart that she drank so much, even though I did too, because she would drive, and she had two young boys ay home (this was before bug was born). I realized she was a bad influence and stopped seeing her. I recently found out she got a DUI late last year and lost her license. Then she got a drunk and disorderly walking home drunk one night after losing her license. All of this made her lose her job because she's a teacher. I think maybe this is why she was in my dream? Who knows. Craziness.

Sorry for any typos, as I'm on my phone. Off to another day!
