Yeah, let the shots begin!
General September 18th, 2009Very ironic that now, after 3 days off the birth control pills, I feel better and more like me, but now I start the hard-core fertility drugs which will probably make the past 2 weeks look like a walk in the park.
I was VERY nervous for the past 10 days that something bad would happen and I’d get cancelled. Even yesterday seeing my local doctor who told me everything looked okay, I wasn’t convinced until I got the thumbs up from the US.
But I got it!
So now I start the twice daily shots to inject my body full of hormones that will make my body make lots of eggs for the IVF. In total I’ll have 4 shots a day, 2 in the morning, 2 in the evening, plus a pill of something at night. For the first 2 days I only have 2 shots, one morning, one night.

I stopped taking the BC a few months ago because I had become a raving loon ( I cried at a Boy Meets World rerun…)I’m much more stable off them! Those things can run havoc on your emotions!
Glad you got the ok and everything is going well

Have you thought much more about a title for your other blog? …might you just decide to journal right here?
September 18th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I’m not going to stop journaling here — been here too long to give it up easily. But for me this blog is about my weight — and therefore my life. So my cancer, my fertility battles, etc all come into play because they all affect my life.
The other blog won’t be weight focused at all, and in some ways will be less personal and more about the surrogacy journey. I want to be able to share 2 things with people on the new site - 1) things I’ve learned about surrogacy over the past few months — because it’s wickedly confusing out there and most people offering information are selling something, and 2) share with my friends & family where we are in this (kind of selfish motivation - I don’t want to keep repeating the same story 1000 times).
You all will get my real emotional ups and downs … and if anyone will want to follow me on the new site I’ll send you the info. For now, it’s in design stages but not live. I am not going to document each stage of my IVF over the next weeks, nor do I think I will want my cousins following the details of recovering from a hysterectomy (you, my dear readers of round, however, won’t be spared). But once the surro ball is rolling, I’ll make it live.
No final decisions on the name yet — but Round Egg is growing on me….

All those shots and hormones. Ouch! You will be in my thoughts regularly. (more so that normally
)

Ugh, all of those shots. Hopefully someday that baby will realize how much he/she was desperately wanted and all that you went through to get him/her.

Personally, the traits you are describing have been my personality since I started teaching!!! I am so happy that things are going well for you. I always suggest that people name their baby after me! (FYI Shari is deemed a variation of Sarah!!) No doubt Shari will work for both a boy and a girl!!!!
Take care and thanks for your comments on my blog
