pill popper and pin cushion

I started the first of many daily injections today. Along with this much anticipated date, came many days of anxiety about giving myself injections, and lots of thoughts sleepless nights wondering, What if this doesn't work? How will my body react to the medications? And fear of letting this amazing family down that has put so much hope and trust in me, that this will all work out. But with all of that fear and anxiety, I can smile with gratitude to have this incredible opportunity....to make another families dream come true and be along with them on their journey to happiness.

I started my morning with 6 different meds; Prenatal Vitamin, Omega-3, Vitamin D, Birth Control, Antibiotic and Children's Aspirin.

 

And then this evening I take my second antibiotic as well as my Lupron injection.

 

 

This will be my daily regimen for the next 10 days and then I will my blood drawn so they can see how my body is reacting to the Lupron and then I will start the inter muscular injections of Delestrogen and then eventually add the Progesterone injections. I will be doing the injections for a total of 12 weeks assuming the embryo takes and I end up with a pregnancy. Below is a picture of the box of goodies from the pharmacy. 

 

After my first injections, I feel much better and wish that I didn't spend the last few days worried and filled with anxiety. It wasn't bad at all! :)
