The wait. (Ashley)

I am so tired.

All I can think about is this wretched wait.  2 WHOLE WEEKS!

Do these people not realize that I have ADD!

Well it's been 9 days so far... but I guess I need to catch you up.

I can try.

31 days ago...  That's when I started taking an injectable... Lupron... in my stomach!!!  If you have been reading these blogs then you may remember my encounter in the bathroom at 4 am.  My inability to stick myself...  : )

Right. It never got any easier. EVER. I think I took that one for 15 days. I don't know... i just remember that I became a human pin cushion.  SEE...

YES! Those are bruises you see.  

That was actually on a good day when some were fading.  I will tell you, it's very hard to poke yourself.  Especially when you know that is going to be the outcome. 

Anywho, we have toughed it out and gotten this far...

So, Lupron. Check.

15 days. Check.

Bruises. Check.

Next step...  Fertility drugs!

More poking and needle jabbing to look forward to. Check.

Gonna be worth it all in the end. Check.

So, on June 1st. (with the aide of a negative HIV test) I was able to start my drugs on time.  I will say, I think about that whole escapade and I STILL can't believe that we had to go through that.  I wouldn't wish any of that scenario on my worst enemy.  

Anyways, ( i get side tracked some times... I'm not sure if i mentioned i have ADD)

*oh look! A SQUIRREL!!

Right.

Well, this is what i had to look forward to....

: ( yep yep... mooooore needles.

Needless to say, John has been my saving grace in all of this poking.  Every single day, bright and early, when he could have been sleeping for a few more hours, he would get up, outta bed and poke me.     THEN crawl right back in bed.  None the less, he gets all the credit.

(hey... so i figured out the picture thing.) 

(( apparently, dummy))

Well, it stays pretty boring for about 10 days.  Just a lot of poking and what not.

OH WAAAIIIT.  I almost forgot about the ultra sounds... and the whole reason I'm taking these things.... hahaha... 

MY OVARIES!!  Holy cow.  They have been the absolute center of the universe for the past few weeks.  Did you know, your ovaries are normally the size of almonds? Most of the time.  Or rather, most of the month... lol

Anywhoooo.

I am going to have to fill you in on my ovaries tomorrow.  This girl is beat!  I've been working a lot... I think about 90 hours this week. YUCK.

SO, I will pick this up tomorrow.

Goodnight my friends!
