So tired

I am exhausted.

But happy.

On Thursday last week I went for my first monitoring appointment to see how things were progressing. They wanted me to come back on Saturday. On Saturday they wanted me to come back on Sunday... then Monday... then Tuesday... Today the said that I should book an appointment for Wednesday but I more than likely wouldn't need it; they would probably be calling me today to take the Ovidrel injection.

Waiting for that phone call was difficult. I was so tired today that I told D if they want me back tomorrow, he was going to have to drive me in because I was falling asleep at the wheel this morning.

Finally, they called me after lunch and told me I could do the injection this evening and then starting tonight "have intercourse for the next two to three days".

Yes, I was instructed to have sex.

Slightly humiliating. Like we weren't trying that step before...

When I got home from work, I had a nap! Then just before dinner I gathered all of my supplies and prepared myself for the injection. I was a little nervous, but the thought that this could be what I need to finally get pregnant got me through it.

It didn't hurt that much, a little pinch was all. It felt tender around the injection point for about half an hour or so and I had a small red bump. Now, 3 hours later, I have to look really hard to find the little red dot, the bump is gone and it's not tender any more.

Now I don't have to go back to the clinic for two weeks. That's when they want to do a pregnancy test.

Well, I'm off to bed now to do as I have been told; get busy!!
