Nelson and Jenn's wonderful journey...

[NHdisneylover]

Oh Jen I'll keep sending good thoughts your way.

Headaches... lots of headaches... literally.

My first injection was on Friday night (they actually had me start the injections on day 3 instead of day 5) and Saturday morning I woke up with a migraine so bad that I ended up vomiting. The vomiting was so bad that I blew out blood vessels in my eyes, around my eyes and around my mouth... Pale French skin stinks!

I was hoping that that was just a random migraine but I ended up with headaches yesterday afternoon and again this morning. Nothing nearly as bad as Saturday but annoying nonetheless. I am also having some form of hot flashes and am very tired. All quite normal according to the pamphlet that comes with the meds.

Want to hear about the craziness that was the Rego's playing with needles on Friday night? I am not sure I can relay how funny this was... you may just have to trust me on it.

It was the first injection so I was being super careful to make sure I did every single step slowly and methodically. It took me about 20 minutes to lay everything out, read everything and another 10 minutes to get the injection ready (since I need to mix everything myself). I swabbed a spot on my stomach (about and inch away from my belly button) with an alcohol pad and waiting for that to dry. I grabbed the syringe and just sat there, trying to stab myself with it for what seemed like an hour but was actually about 5 minutes.

Finally, I decide to let Nelson do it and he comes over and pops the thing right into my stomach. For some unknown reason I start laughing uncontrollably, I mean tears rolling down my face laughing so hard (I think I found it very amusing that my husband had no problem stabbing me). Poor Nelson is trying to keep this needle in my stomach while my stomach shakes from laughing. Then it becomes contagious and he starts laughing. Two idiots, playing with needles, laughing their butts off!

Ridiculous.

I am going to have some stories for these kid(s)!

Sorry about the headaches!

But the needle story had me giggling too.

And just think! Children born into homes filled with laughter are bound to turn out . . . . like US!



You're DOOMED!

 

[wallyb]

Oh you zany needle slut, you.

 

[NHdisneylover]

Sorry 'bout the headaches but I agree the needle story is hilarious You kid will be so lucky

Today is day 9 of my cycle. I have been injecting myself for the last 5 nights and had an ultrasound this morning.

Imagine my surprise and shock upon finding out that I am just about ready! Holy Carp - these meds WORK! Oh! and there are 3 good looking folicles!

One more injection of the Menopur (the stuff I have been taking) tonight, then the Ovidrel (the stuff that forces the ovulation) tomorrow night.... and then.... Insemination on Friday afternoon (at 2 p.m.) !!

It is really weird... I am almost kind of nervous... I am just so surprised at how quickly this all happened!

Oh Jenn!!! How exciting!

So sorry bout the headaches...are they getting any better? I KNOW migraines and I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy...and vomiting with a migraine is an act of the devil!

Saturday was the worse one. That was the day I vomitted and ended up with all the lovely busted blood vessells and red, white and blue eyes... how patriotic of me...

Every day since then I have been getting minor, annoying headaches... enough for a couple Tylenol but certainly not migraines and nothing life altering, just annoying as h e double hockey sticks.

The other side effect is the exhaustion. There is a sticker on the box that says not to drive, operate heavy machinery, yada, yada, yada, but nothing (not even Tylenol PM) has made me this sleepy... and it is always during the day... I get home, plop on the couch and am wide awake!

I will get through this... hopefully the side effects dont linger... I know that if the procedure is successful I will be exhausted for the rest of my life - but that different and ok!

I actually typed that on purpose. I think I saw someone on here use that once (that and conga rats in place of congrats). I really got a kick out of it.

but hey! If a holy carp makes it all work - I am ok with that!

 

[NHdisneylover]

Oh Jenn how very exciting Just think, when everything works you can be just as sleepy sans meds In those first few weeks when I was pregnant and didn't know it yet (yeah, I know you won't have that) I was so darned sleepy I stopped driving after the second time I fell asleep sitting at the table trying to eat dinner (at like 5:30). I was never nasueas though, so I figured it was a good trade off. Anyway most people do not get headahces as symptom of pregnancy so THAT should improve for you.

 

[TLSnell1981]

I don't mean to crash your thread. I just wanted to stop in and wish you all the best.

Anyway, We are really, more than ever before, hoping for a successful cycle this month. If only for completely superficial reasons... The baby needs to be 12 weeks old to cruise the 14 night TA next September. I really don't want to have to cancel this cruise but certainly will if I need to... Also, if I become pregnant, we could be looking at a late May, early June baby.... that would be wonderful!

So we begin again...

PS You're jinxed now. Of course, the baby's not going to come when it's most convenient. Looks like a summer baby to me...

Again, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya'll.

 

[wallyb]

Pulling for ya sweetness.

Nelson will be pulling for ya two at some point.

If I could get an option on that, I think I would take sleepy over nausea anyday.

Crash away. I know there are people who are reading and not posting... I was initially worried about sharing something so personal... but if it helps just one more person get over the feelings of inadequacy and failure - It will all be worth it.

Ummm.... Wally, there are 4 eggs in that nest... I only want two...

 

[NHdisneylover]

Ummm.... Wally, there are 4 eggs in that nest... I only want two...

Ummm, Jenn I think the drugs are getting to you. Count again Triplets wouldn't be so bad (but then you have to get a cat. 4 on all future cruises and you and Nelson would be outnumbered)

 

[jenn&nelsonrego]

Oh! Do you think I can blame the drugs for all my stupidity?

I initially thought 3 too... but doesn't it look like there is a 4th one behind the two on the left? Tell me no and I will call my eye doctor for an appt.

Call the eye doctor, because there are clearly THREE eggs!

And no, you can't blame the drugs, we all know you'd have said the same thing without them.

Because I'm a blonde I don't have to think, I talk like a baby and I never pay for drinks
Don't have to worry if I'm getting a man if I keep this blonde and I keep these tan
Cause I'm a blonde yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause I'm a blonde yeah yeah yeah

I see people working and it just makes me giggle,
cause I don't have to work, I just have to giggle
Cause I'm a blonde B-L-O-N-D
Cause I'm a blond don't you wish you were me?

I never learned to read and I never learned to cook
Why should I bother when I look like I look?
I know lots of people are smarter than me, but I have this philosophy, "So what?"
Cause I'm a blonde yeah yeah yeah
