Sorry for the delay in postings, we left hurriedly on Friday afternoon to head to the Auburn and LSU football game (unfortunately didn’t turn out our way). My RE said everything looked good on Friday and my E2 level was at 1225 (this number needs to be some massive amount since I am producing so many follicles, it should at least double every two days, (I think)). My follicles continued to grow and I had some that measured 9, 10, and 11 and some that measured 12, 13, 15 and 16 (they want them to be at least around 18mm) so things still look good. The worst part of the appointment was my doctor is having me take a Lortab one hour before I go because “the you know what and where” ultrasound is painful. I took it and felt a dazed stimulated great for about two hours and then that turned into a sick nauseous state of misery and sleepiness. Seems like the more medicine I take then the more medicine I have to take to counter the effects of the medicine I am taking. Whew!
I am not even going to go into great detail about how the shots are progressing or lake thereof. Friday nights consisted of dropping the completed shot and needle on the not so sterile carpet. Accidently forgetting to prep the shot right before the injection to get the air out therefore after puncturing the needle in the left hip having to start over and give the injection in the right hip. Which all resulted in us wasting a total of three needles. Karlis blamed our disastrous performance on the room being hot….men! Saturday’s shot was out of the ordinary in that we had to give it in the back of our car before going into the Auburn game. You get stares when two grown adults climb into the hatch part of an SUV and lay down. Lord only knows what they thought we were doing but I think we all have a clue what it was. As a bonus right before Karlis was about to pull back and give the shot the Auburn band started marching by. Imagine! A marching band playing your team’s fight song makes for interesting back ground music during such a delicate moment. Goes to show you infertility can strike anywhere at any time, even in the presence of a crowd of 85,214 screaming Auburn Tiger fans.
