Stimming along…

Well, thankfully, AF arrived Friday evening so we were able to start our stim meds on Sunday morning.

And away we go!

We’ll be doing 3 shots a day, two in the morning and one at night. My tummy is already a little sore but I don’t really mind. I found myself rather excited Saturday getting ready to really start this process. I honestly didn’t think I would be excited. In fact, I thought I’d be the most relaxed IVF patient ever. Instead I found myself ugly crying Thursday night before our suppression check.

Chris was almost gloating. He never thought I’d be all chill about this.

I hate it when he’s right.

But honestly, I’m making a choice too. Right, Kelli? I’d rather be excited and hopeful and grateful for this opportunity than approach it all ho-hum.

Am I taking a risk my heart will be broken? Sure. But would it be broken LESS if I were stoic instead? I doubt it.

So here’s to watching my belly getting bruised, seeing my pooch getting bigger and hopefully spending the next 9 months growing our own little one (or ones!).

  2. YAY for stims!! I'm right behind you, and experiencing the same darn emotions. But I agree, might as well be excited and hopeful, what good is distancing ourselves and trying to play it cool going to do for us anyway?! lol!
