So........ we've been waiting for a little over a week. It hasn't been too bad. I've been concentrating on not straining any part of my uterine area. Alot of sitting around. My wonderful mother came to visit and is taking good care of me...emptying the dishwasher, doing the laundry, cooking. We've been doing a little Hawaii planning. The only really bad thing this last week has been the shots. My rear was killing me! I had a huge knot on my right side. I tried it in my leg and could barely walk the next day. I thought I'd have to go to the vaginal suppositories...uggg. You have to do 4 of them throughout the day which was my initial reason for choosing the one shot a day. We had no problems with the Lupron shots. Of course, these progesterone shots are InterMuscular and the needle is about 1.5 inches long. No lie. Poor Andy can hardly touch me without me saying, "Watch the arm/leg/rear!" and my boobs hurt too. I asked around about the suppositories and everyone says to stay on the shot. Apparently, the suppositories are messy and constantly drip, drip, drip. YUK! So I'm going to try and stick it out. We are rotating from arms to legs to rear. It could be a long 3 months! The nurse at the Fertility Center also suggested doing them in the morning. That way the muscle will be moving around more and it does seem to help. One suggestion I will make to the Center is to give a better information sheet on the shots. Lots of info on the V.S., but none on the shot. We mainly looked to YouTube for all our info!
Andy left this morning for a business trip in CA. He won't be here when we find out. I can't even guess what the outcome will be. Maybe I'm afraid to guess. Only God knows the outcome. Only God can grow a baby or 2. I'll leave these important matters to Him. My sweet mother-in-law has already called to check in. She's dying to know, but I really shouldn't tell anyone until I tell Andy and he won't call until tonight. I probably won't know until later this afternoon. My mom will know before Andy because she is here. I don't know how I'll react if it's bad news. Definitely disappointed. Definitely sad. If it's good, I may just have to interrupt Andy in a work meeting!
I'm just hoping for the best news. The very best! Why hope for anything less!
