Excited About What?

The excitement started at 8 a.m. this morning when the doorbell rang. No, wait, I take it back. It started at 5:45 a.m. when I woke up, because the first thought on my mind was: "I get my schedule and have injection teaching today!"

I planned to be home for most of the morning for my first package from the pharmacy to arrive. That's why the 8 a.m. doorbell was especially exciting - my wait was over.

It's ridiculous, but it was like opening a Christmas package. What sort of goodies could be inside? However, instead of candy and toys I poured over medicine, needles and a HIPPA form. They were thoughtful enough to include Bath & Body Works Antibacterial Foaming Soap, so maybe I'm not totally crazy - that's exciting, right?

The next Christmas present was the folder of papers I received at the clinic including...da da da da...my schedule. The hidden surprises on the schedule include:

1. Only 3 firm dates on the schedule (I was expecting tentative versions of them all), but it's a start, and while adjustable by a few days, from my research I can figure at least the general timing for everything.

2. I will be doing not 1, not 2, but 3 subcutaneous injections most days. Remind me again, why am I so excited?

3. At least 4 medications I wasn't expecting to take on the schedule. I really will be a walking drugstore.

I've got some cycle buddies on ivfconnections.com and we are titling our posts with our current day status. Today's post title read Day 23 of BCP, 3 days to Lupron. I can hardly believe a number that low is finally associated with this! Let the games begin.
