It's always something.

Turns out for the past two days I have been doing my injections wrong. It's not a big deal (I called the nurse) I was just making more work for myself and doing extra injections.

I am supposed to be doing 2 menopur vials and one dexamethasone pill every night. The pill is easy- obviously I just swallow it! The Menopur is a different story, because it has to be mixed.

What I was doing was pulling 1mL Sodium Chloride into the syringe and putting that into one bottle of menopur powder to dissolve it. Then I was doing the same for the second bottle. What you are supposed to do is dissolve the first bottle, and then mix that with the second bottle and inject yourself only once. If only someone had told me that...

Two more nights of that and then to the doc on Friday morning!


On a side note- I completely flooded my bathroom last night. I was so exhausted and cold and I wanted to take a nice warn bubbly bath. So I started the tub and then got side tracked. By the time I went back in, there was like- 3 inches of water on the bathroom floor and it was soaking my carpets outside the bathroom! That was the absolute LAST thing I wanted to do at the moment was spend an hour mopping up all that water!
