Are You Emotionally Ready to Ride this Rollercoaster?

Looks like we are getting started earlier than anticipated! As I mentally strap myself in for another ride, I'm flooded with emotions (and I haven't even started the meds yet!). I'm feeling many things...excitement, disbelief, hope, happiness, caution, insecurity...some more prominently than others.

As of today, our medications are en route. I spaced out for a bit listening to the pharmacy rep read off the seemingly never-ending list of prescriptions. She officially lost me at "needle gauge". Though I am really trying my best to live in the now, I can't help but feel anxious about the myriad of syringes that await me. Heroin attics make it look so easy!

Needless to say, the process is already overwhelming. I do hope to take it one day at a time.

Thursday 4/10 is the official kick-off (of what is hopefully my first and last round of IVF/ICSI):

• Ultrasound
• Blood work
• Review medications
• Learn how to administer injections
• Begin Lupron
• Apologize to husband in advance for imminent mood swings
