A lot more real.

This morning, despite me being sick with a cold and a fever of over 100.0, Jake and I made the trip up to see Dr. B and the girls. They did an ultra sound, suppression check they called it, to make sure there were no eggs that had matured over the last month or so of birth control. We are good there, nothing is growing at this point in the egg department.

After the ultra sound we meet with Nina to go over the calendar she had sent us, day by day. What medication is needed and when. How to take the medication, most of it has to be given by needle and I'm not super excited about that. There is some that is inhaled and some that is in pill for so that is good.
They sent us home with a huge bag of "goodies," all the stuff we are going to need over the next month. Even Progesterone, unfortunately in oil form, that I will have to get shots of for the entire first trimester.
Our little Miss Bella checking out the goodies bag.
The inside of the goodies bag...
Lets just say there is a lot to remember. A lot to do.
Fingers are crossed!
20 days from today is the day they retrive my eggs.
23 days from today is the day they put 2 eggs back.
Hopefully shortly after we will know it worked!

Oh wow! There is probably a reason for your Progesterone shots but I'm on a Progesterone pill, can't they switch you over to a pill at some point?? Good luck keeping up with your meds. I hope you will feel okay!

Holy cow, that must be so overwhelming! You're amazing Rochelle, truly. :)

I agree with Mags, I was also on Progesterone pills throughout my whole first trimester with Charlie because of my previous miscarriages. I don't see why they couldn't switch you to the pills at some point!

AHHHH! I am beyond excited for you guys.... I can't wait for that day when you announce the news! :)
