I got a phone call from Leith today during lunch time. My hormone levels were pretty low so I was all set to start tonight. I was once again filled with anxiety. It seemed that as 8:00 got closer the more worried I started to feel.
I decided to watch the Puregon Pen DVD just to make sure I was good to go. 15 minutes later I was on the verge of tears. They show the lady inject herself like 10 different times. Each time I saw that needle go in I felt less and less confident that I could do that to myself. I would almost rather stick my hand up a turkey's kester and pull out the giblets. I was so worried that I would mess up the 5 easy to follow shoot 'em up steps.
P.S. this is not me but some one from the internet
I got all my stuff out of bag and set it up just like on the DVD. Then Lucky the Wonder Cat decided to get in on the action and make sure I was doing it right. There is something about him staring at me as I was about to push the needle in. I told Simon to take him and leave the room. I finally managed to do it. WOOT! WOOT! All I can say is that it's 99% painless. I felt the needle going it but didn't hurt. Hopefully, it will go much easier tomorrow night.
I had other infertility news to write about but I am either really sleepy or I have literally lost my tiny mind. So I shall have to write about it tomorrow night or the next.
Since we have moved in the traffic between home and work has gotten worse and worse. I already get up at 6 am so I can leave by 7 am to avoid driving EXTREMELY slow and turning a 20-25 minute drive into a 50 minute drive. So tonight after raining all day and traffic being backed up I decided to take an "alternative" route home. Now before I can go any further in the story I must note that the Australian version of Lassie is Skippy the bush kangaroo.
Someone had told me to take Dr. Gully Rd. So I plugged it in to the Tom Tom and clicked on roads to avoid. It was all going really well until I had to turn off the paved road. I am sure this would not be a problem for other people but a giant problem for me. Mainly because rain and gravel don't mix. Not to mention this road is one lane wide full of hair pin turns and hills. It was almost the start to a horror movie but it wasn't dark.
About 2 miles down the road it dawns on me what a horrible idea this was. Right now I don't have a cell phone and the nearest living being is a field full of kangaroos. And unless Skippy is going to go tell little Timmy that I am stuck in the middle of no where I am SCREWED. So I drove slower than I would have if I had taken the normal paved road home. Luckily I made it home safely but I am definitely never going that way again.
