Goodbye Injections

As of Saturday I was officially done with injections. In total, starting from December 28th, I have had: 24 Lupron injections & 48 PIO injections. I administered every single one to myself. Now I am proud - I mean, who wants to stab themselves daily (the answer if you are wondering, is no one. I will speak for everyone on that). But I cant help but think that I did this for only one cycle. One...

10w2d update

Such a beautiful thing to see. I...

As with one of my other kids, sipping on a decaf cafe vanilla...

Cravings and exhaustion

I am going to be honest, I am surprised I have any cravings right now. Normally I am too nauseated to even want to think about food. Though I think I have that slightly under control with this tea I found at Target one day. It is by Pink Stork - their morning sickness relief. I think it is a little spendy - 10 satchels for $11.99 (though I did find a 3 pack on amazon for $22, so I will probably go...
