Injection Training One on One

Yes, these are all my meds. Now you can see why "Crazy Kacey" shows her face at times!

Friday night was the 1st night that I had to do an injection outside of our house. We were at my mom and dads for dinner, so the whole family got to watch it. They all knew of my needle phobia, so they were very proud to see how far I've come!

My niece and nephew watched too. After seeing the injection, Aydia wanted to give me another shot with her play shot! There's a short clip at the bottom of Dustin giving me the actual injection. Not too bad!

So far so good! My E2 level came back good, and the ultasound looked good, so I got the ok to start stim meds. I start the 1st night of stim meds tonight (Sat Feb 13th). I'll take these anywhere from 7 to 11 days. During these 7 to 11 days I'll also have bloodwork and sonograms every other day, and two sessions of acupuncture. Then its retrieval time! After retreival, they will fertilize my eggs and a few days later, hopefully place 2 embryo's in my uterus. Then its about a 10 day waiting game! From this point, we still have a few more hurdles to jump in order for this ivf cycle to not be cancelled...my body needs to respond well to the meds...my follicles need to mature...numerous follicles need to mature-hopefully 10 or more...I can't overhyperstimulate...I can't ovulate before they retrieve them...they need to be retrieved...they need to fertilize...they need to be good graded embryos...then they need to make it to transfer...then my lining needs to be thick enough for them (hopefully 8mm or thicker)...then they need to implant! Whoo-that's alot! Please pray for these steps! You can see a detailed day by day timeline of this ivf cycle on the left under history. It's all happening so fast!
