So, I awoke today to several voicemails from fertility pharmacies and my hubby. I guess they didn't have my phone number listed as the primary number, so they called him to set up payment and delivery for the medications I have to start this weekend. The problem with that is, because of HIPAA laws, they can't tell him anything except that they need to speak with me "regarding a personal matter". Needless to say, he was worried because the RE and the pharmacies had called him but wouldn't tell him anything. This whole process can be so nerve racking that even a mix up with phone numbers can cause you to be upset!
After I got all the meds ordered.....and paid for, they will be delivered in time for me to start my injections Friday. I have an appointment tomorrow for my suppression scan, which is done to ensure that the meds up to this point have suppressed my system so it can be SUPER stimulated!! If everything looks ok on the ultrasound tomorrow, I will start some of the injections Friday then the others on Sunday. So, look out!! I am about to be pumped full of hormones and steroids!!
I always get nervous before an appointment because so much rides on how well things go. I'm having trouble winding down so I can go to bed tonight. Plus, these steroids really mess with my sleep habits. I haven't slept all night since I started them and if you know me at all, you know that usually once I'm asleep a tornado can't wake me, to quote my mother! I'm not complaining though because I know all of this is leading to a good result. I am maintaining my positive attitude and pray almost constantly. In fact, I realized I was praying today while I was painting the trim in the dining room! I guess there are far worse ways to allow my mind to wonder, right?
Thanks to everyone for your prayers for us throughout this journey. We definitely need it!! Especially after I start all these injections....
