Scared Like A Baby

Ok, what do most women get for Valentine's Day? Flowers, candy? Well, Baby Daddy just gave me a shot of Novarel (HCG) in the butt with a 1.5 inch needle! He's outdone himself this time. Seriously though, he was great and boy, was I a big baby! It took at least 45 minutes to prep for the 5 second shot cause I was so scared I wouldn't let him do it. I was in such a panic that everything wasn't just right or that the needle was contiminated or that it would hurt or whatever. I've given myself numerous shots, but for some reason this one just freaked me out. And, when I finally let him do it, I didn't feel a thing! Crazy! It hurt less than any of the others. He did such a good job - mainly putting up with and helping to calm all my fears.


Now, the reason we had to do this tonight was because the doctor said today that she still doesn't know for sure what happened, but they believe my body did not respond to the Lupron. I'm not positive, but I think the HCG was to make sure that I do ovulate now if I didn't already. Now, we follow a different protocol...the "Spontaneous Antagonist"...sounds like a superhero movie to me.

So, now we wait for my next period and start the Suppression check process all over again. Possible retreival dates are now March 10-14 which puts possible transfer dates as March 13-19. Looks like we are looking at a Christmas baby now, which actually makes sense.
