I HATE HEADACHES!!!! FEEL LIKE CRAP!!!!

Headache go away!!!! Please don't turn into a migraine! You are annoying and I would like to feel better like NOW!

Appointment update

Well things are looking good. So far so good, I have about 7-8 follicles on each side all of them ranging from sizes 8.9 to 10. My acupuncture is helping. At this point I have an appointment everyday. Things have been crazy as usual. Trying to balance it all is very difficult but I am hanging in there. The most frustrating thing during this time of the cycle is the horrible headaches from the medications:( Also found out today that my nurse short ordered my meds so I had to have the pharmacy fed ex next day $700.00 more! Yeah that's not stressful at all when you think you have paid for everything already. UGH! Today the headache is really bad it lingers all day and does not go away so you pretty much feel like crap and want to stay in bed all day, oh wait you can't do that you have a toddler and a full time job!!!! Wake up Shirlee!

Things are moving along

Okay so my big box of meds is on the way! It should arrive tomorrow morning. I start stimming this Friday! As of my last appointment I have about 10 follicles on my left and about 8 on my right, so we are off to a good start. My next appointment is Friday morning, details to follow:)

What luck?!?!?!

We took Mia to boomers for some family time. She wanted to play this ticket game where you push the button to drop the ball to win tickets:) there are many holes for this ball to drop in all different quantities for the number of tickets to win! Mia hits the button and the ball falls in the jackpot hole!!! We originally thought that she won 400 tickets but she ended up with a lot more! At the end of the night she had 782 tickets! Pretty good for her first time! She also went on the go carts with daddy and absolutely loved it:)

Got my calendar!

Here are the big dates providing all goes well with my meds.

Possible Egg Retrieval 2/29
Possible Embryo Xfer 3/3 bed rest starts
Possible Pregnancy test 3/14
