My first stimulation shot of follistim is tonight. I'm excited and a little nervous to start this phase of IVF. I hope I don't get overstimulated and then have to freeze the embryos and wait. That was a chief concern last cycle, but then I ended up not getting stimulated enough and not getting enough extra embryos to freeze for the future. Either outcome isn't too great. Anyway, I'm feeling pretty optimistic, just a little nervous. Not very many people in the real world know that we're trying again right now. That cuts out many of the questions that we had to deal with last time. Plus, it would be really fun to be able to surprise some special people like grandparents!
We went to a wedding last night for another oral surgeon. It was beautiful. The union at University of Iowa is really nice - even if it is in Hawkeye country. Go Cyclones! Jon was on call and he got pages twice while we were there. He had an interesting day yesterday. As soon as he got home and sat down his pager went off and he went back to the hospital. That happened more than once. He'll be on call in house twice this week (as in he can't leave the hospital at all) so I'm either going to have to give myself my shots (eek!) or bring all my meds to the hospital for him to do it. I don't know which would be better. I get a little sick to my stomach when I watch shots so I don't know if I'll be able to give myself two.
One of my friends on pregnancy.org found out that her IVF pregnancy is ending in miscarriage on Friday. I'm so sad for her. Once again, it makes me angry. I think she'll be a great mom some day. I just wish it would be about 9 months from now. A couple of my friends from my clomid days are having their babies now. I'm so happy for them. Things do work out sometimes.
