I Did It All by Myself!!

You thought I was going to tell you a story about Alex didn't you? Ha. No. This is a celebration for me. As many of you know, I had a doctors appointment yesterday with the reproductive endocrinologist. Well, he could tell by the ulrasound that I hadn't ovulated yet but was close. He gave me a trigger shot that I was supposed to keep in the fridge and give myself this morning. I did it!!! Yes, me. The one terrified of needles. I gave myself a shot today. It realy was no big deal except that I took too long pushing in the medicine and had to therefore spend a few minutes lying on the ground afterward so I wouldn't pass out. I know for next time. How proud am I?!!! If we don't end up pregnant with this, I am going to go back and we will talk about starting the invitro process. He was a little concerned about it since I have a history of incompetent cervix and invitro gives a higher risk of multiples. I was more concerned that I would have to give myself a shot THREE TIMES A DAY during the two month process. Yikes. But I did it today and am confident that it would help me with my incompassitating horror of needles. If it doesn't, I am in for a horrific time. But, I am so ready to do anything possible to get another child. I really don't want Alex to be an only child and would love the oportunity for a larger family. Oh the nerves, excitement, and terror are very near. Keep us in your prayers. Our insurance will cover 90% of ONE invitro process so we won't get a second chance if it fails. I am optimistic but trying to be real at the same time and the two don't really mix.
