More Blood Testing Today

So today we went in to the doctors at 8:00am. The place was still hustling & bustling. There are always so many people there. Today I just had to get a blood test to check my hormone levels to see if I need to have more or less hormones from the shots that I get daily. Everything was great and he decreased my Gonal shot from 187.5 to 125. This is great because although I haven't felt really crazy like some have said I would, I have been feeling a little on the verge of tears then want to laugh when my boys call me out!

Lets talk about Nik and giving me the shots every morning.... He is definitely not cut out to be a nurse. The first morning he gave it to me, he held the needle like he was about to murder me. (think that Alfred Hitchcock movie Psycho). Then jabbed it in quickly, it hurt like no tomorrow. The next day he went slower and this was much better. Then today, he put it in the wrong spot (in my muscle) instead of soft flesh. I pray that tomorrow he does a better job! I am going to make a bullseye for him, that should help.

Tomorrow is another day at the doctors office. Nik has an 8:30 am appointment for his sperm aspiration. He will be lightly sedated with anesthesia so he won't feel a thing. Thank goodness!! One of his friends sent him these scary pictures of what they are going to do. Bless his heart, he knew it was worth it and wasn't even scared. When the Dr. told him he would be sedated, you could just see the stress melt off of him!

I also have an appointment at 10:30 am tomorrow.  They are going to test my uterus for polyps and fibers. Hopefully this exam will be perfect as all the others ones have been.

The weather here in Quito is nuts. In the morning it will be cold, then mid-day it is warm, then at night it is freezing. It can also rain at the drop of a hat, so the last couple days I have been a little under the weather. Just head cold and congested. Luckily there are fresh juice places EVERYWHERE! I have had more fresh orange juice here than any other time in my life.

That's whats happening here!
