Trucking along...

THANK YOU for all your lovely supportive comments about my "injection-FAIL" the other night! It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one that was super nervous about all of this! The last 2 evenings have been totally fine as T is super good at giving injections. He brags that his patients "request him" to do their shots (I don't believe him but he is good at it!) Still burns when he pushes the medicine in but I can deal with it by looking away and counting to 10.

Had my first E2 blood test this morning (6:50am on my DAY OFF!) Came home and went right back to bed! In BC we have a website where you can see your results even before your doctor does (kinda crazy,  I think) and so I saw that my results were up around noon. Cue panic mode because my result was 744 pmol/L and when I started googling E2 of 744 it was coming up as way too high for this stage in my cycle. I had visions of a cancelled cycle! Again people, I am a nurse, I should know better. I luckily soon realized because of the whole metric thing, my result was actually just in a different format and is more like 202 pg/ml. Totally fine. This was confirmed when my nurse called and told me to keep on the same dose of medication. Ugh, I have got to chill and stop consulting Dr. Google. It gets me no where! Next blood test on Thursday and then ultrasound likely the next day. As one lovely commenter put it "Go go gadget follicles!!"

I leave you with two photos of things that are helping keep me calm....


My darling Paisley...seriously the only thing keeping me sane! Don't ask me why she keeps one eye partially open while sleeping...creepy...




Beautiful sunset last weekend while we were fishing with T's parents.

  5. "Go go gadget follicles!" I love it! It's been a long time since I've heard an Inspector Gadget reference. I may have to use that mantra myself, if I may quote you : )

  6. Great numbers! And I totally get the pull to check Dr. Google. It's an obsession...or worse! An addiction! You're doing great though! FX for a great scan and great numbers to come!

  7. Those are two gorgeous things to surround yourself with for calm! My kitty once slept with his real eyelids partly open but his third eyelid closed - now that was creepy.

    Good luck with your injections and that is to follow, and happy ICLW-ing!

  8. Sounds like things are going really well. Way to go for your hubby on administering your injections! My hubby was pretty nervous the first time he had to give me an IM shot but now he's a pro.
