How did we do this before???

I have no idea how we did all this before. It is so confusing. They try their best to make it simple but dang there are a lot of steps, drugs, pills, injections, etc. And to think if you just miss one time you can send your whole cycle to the dumps.
My appointment yesterday I guess went ok. We didn't hear back from them last night saying my blood work was off. So we start the shots in my hips tonight. I still do stomach shots but the dose has dropped to 5cc instead of 20cc.
Kiyah did ok. My Ipad held her off for a good 10 minutes. The only problem was she thought they were hurting me when I had to lay on the table...which they kind of were. So she panicked a little. Oh and when I took my clothes off she did too.
So until Friday we do the same thing every day. Two shots a day, an antibiotic twice a day and the regular pills at night (1.5 aspirin, folbic, prenatal vitamin).
I cannot remember anything. The days seem to be flying by. My head hurts almost constantly today but I don't know if that is from the cold I have or from the drugs. You can tell from this post that my thoughts are sparadic. I did find out that they will draw blood on November 23rd to see if I am pregnant. That is a Wednesday. The day before Thanksgiving. For some reason I don't think this cycle will work and I have no idea why I think that. Maybe it is a defense mechanism. You can't get hurt as bad if you don't fully expect something. But then sometimes in my head I think how can this not produce a baby. My body will be so ready or at least tricked into thinking it is. I guess there is no answer or right way to think. I am just going through the motions. Taking the steps.
