Hello Blogger world,
I have been on Birth Control Reclipsen since Monday (8/22) and will stay on that until 9/14 with Lupron injections startin on 9/7. Lupron will continue and on 8/22 an evening injection to stimulate ovaries to produce more eggs will be added in addition. The estimated egg retrieval date is 10/3, so hopefully someonw will have an awesome Thanksgiving and Christmas present.

School started 8/18 but with Hurricane Irene coming school has been closed from 8/26 through 8/29. This hurricane is more frightening because the eye of the storm will be making landfall here. Yes, hurricanes have come before, but they had made landfall which then weakened the storm. At 7am it is raining and windy, not too badly yet, but by the end of the day and into early tomorrow, it will be way worse.
Going to try to get more sleep...

Next Step...

Yesterday I recieved another packet in the mail about the ED (egg donor) stuff. It was about the general types of medicines (the protocol varies some), what the medicines do, and rough timetable of the meds/injections. I am finishing up my bc pill packet, period starts, and then I start injecting myself. I am not that nervous about the actual injections but want to make sure I insert the needle in my abdomen correctly and to make sure I take the absolute correct medication. Before I begin the injections I have to go to the office and they will give me a 'lesson' on how to do it so I am sure all will be fine. I am also hoping that don't get OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome), sometimes it happens, it can be really bad but is watched closely to make sure that it doesn't become that bad.

In other news, school is starting in a week... Great, school begins around the same time I am injecting myself and not feeling that comfortable. Hopefully the way I made my schedule will work well with this and I won't have to miss any school, that is what I am hoping. The goal is if (hopefully it's not) the ER (egg retrieval) falls on a school time that the ER will be in the morning, I will come home sleep it off and then someone can drive me to school that night since I won't be able to drive. That is the goal, hopefully it isn't too far fetched.

I am getting excited about the the egg donation. Yes, to some it may seem far out there, but I am giving someone the possibility of a family. Yes, there are no guarentees that it will work, but hey it might, and hopefully it does. Since it is an annonymous donation, I probably will never know the family, and while some may not be fine with that, I believe I am. It would be cool if years down the road somehow we did become in contact, but if that never happens, that wil be fine also. There is the option to do egg donations up to five times, and although I doubt I will do it that many times, if all goes well I may do it again.

Until next time....
