The latest and some other ramblings...

This morning I was up bright and early to have my blood work done. Even with having an early morning appointment I still managed to be to work earlier than usual! The good news is, the drugs are working...I will stay on one of the meds, decrease my dosage on another one, and introduce a new med. The bad news is...three shots a day. It's really not that bad but I still can't believe those people on Intervention do this to themselves voluntarily! Anyways, I will go on Friday to get my blood drawn again and then we'll find out what's next. From what we were told at our last appointment and depending on how I respond to the meds, we are looking at retrieving the eggs between September 10th and 12th and then implantation three to five days later. Do the math...I could be pregnant in less than three weeks! Quite frankly, I already feel pregnant considering my diet has been out the window with all of the stress and I think the meds must increase my appetite. ;) They really should add "increased appetite" under the list of possible side effects. That and the fact that I can't drink while on the meds, I'm practically a pro at being pregnant already. Dave was in a wedding this past weekend and I'm pretty sure it was the first wedding I haven't drank at since I was like 18, er, I mean 21. I started off the night drinking a glass of Diet Pepsi out of a straw in a koozie because you know, you just kind of need a drink to sip on or something. Four glasses of DP later, I realized you can only drink so much soda. After the wedding we went to Champp's for a night cap and I ordered myself a virgin Bloody Mary! Mmmmm....not quite the same as the real thing but an acceptable substitute under the circumstances! And I must say, I was quite proud of myself for staying out that late in a non-alcohol induced state.
