Today is day 4.  The shots have being going good so far!  Both shots are to make lots and lots of those awesome eggs grow.  Definitely starting to feel some of the side effects.  It feels like I am carrying a bag of marbles on either side.  Not painful, just slightly uncomfortable and twingy.  The right side is acting up a lot more than my left, but honestly they could tell me to put my hand in a meat grinder-and I would do it with a smile on me face.

Here is another kicker….My doctor recommends not twisting, bending, or picking up anything over 5 pounds.  When I first received this medical advice tidbit, I didn’t think much of it.  Overwhelmed with all the information we were getting, this statement kinda slipped to the bottom of the pile.  But 5 POUNDS!!!! REALLY! I drink cups of coffee that weigh more than 5 pounds!  Well, not anymore-caffeine is on the banned list, but I do fill my token Handee Hugo’s Large Coffee Cup with water to trick myself into THINKING I am having my traditional morning cup of coffee.  Other things that I now realized weigh more than five pounds:  my favorite pair of boots, my sling bag that holds all this lovely paperwork from the doctor’s office, the large casserole I put in the oven tonight, that puppy that came to visit us at the office today-the list goes on!  5 POUNDS!

Tomorrow I go in for more blood work to see if my E2 levels are at least 200.  I wish there was an ultrasound so I could see how these little marbles are coming along, but that will have to wait until Monday.  Fingers crossed!!!!
