We finally had our shot training yesterday. I will be taking 2 shots, 3 pills, and 1 patch. I was a little nervous to say the least. Our doctor was so nice and was very helpful. She had everything laid out on the table that we were going to be using. There were needles, alcohol pads, meds, fake tummies, pens and paper, etc. Did I mention needles?!?!?! The egg donor has her own regimin of meds, but I didn't pay much attention so I wouldn't get them confused. I will take 1 shot for 10 days in the belly. The needle is very small and is a diabetic needle. Then another shot that I will take will be determined by the results of the pregnancy test. I will have to do it for at least 6 weeks. The needle is bigger and will require someone to do that for me. Thanks God for my mom!! That medicine will go in my upper hip. It is a 'intermuscular' shot. The medicine is a little thicker and needs bigger hole in the needle. I have a whole bag of needles, medicines, band-aids, and sharp containers. We are ready for this!! I will stop taking my birth control on April 10th and start the shots April soon after!! I'm telling you, there is no turning back now. Our transfer day will be April 30th if all goes well with the meds. We have to make sure egg donor's eggs are ready and my body is ready!! I will try to post later about the meds. I would like to be informative as much as I can!!!
