Tomorrow is the day. There are massive butterflys in my stomach and I can't seem to focus at work today. So I decided to quickly log in here and see if I could relieve some of the anxiety by writing about it.
For those who don't know, using a donors eggs requires the recipient to take Lupron to "quiet her ovaries." I'm not going to get into the science, I'm not a doctor. But this is a critical step in preparing to "sync" the donor and recipient's cycles. Because our insurance doesn't cover this medication we were able to get it from the Clinic and had it shipped to us. Although this has been in the works for months, it didn't ship until last week! And yup - still don't have it! I checked the UPS tracking website this morning though and it said that it was out for delivery and would arrive on time. Relief, right? WRONG. Just last month, when tracking another highly anticipated package I got the same message, but never got my package. Some how it ended up getting on the wrong truck and then on a plane and ended up going on a journey around the US for a few days before making it back to me. So yes, I'm a bundle of nerves. Completely stress ball right now.
And then there is the shot itself. My guy will be administering it. He had his lesson. I trust him. But still unsettling.
So if anyone out there is reading this blog and has some advice, now is the time to stop lurking. I need you! Any advice on how to relax? :)
