That was a close one!

Between Ed, my father, and I, we were waiting for Fed Ex from 8am-6pm, and they never showed up. Our meds were supposed to be shipped between 8am-3pm. I called the fertility pharmacy (it's a special pharmacy, just for fertility meds) and they assured me that it was "in transit" from Peabody. At 6pm Ed got nervous and called them back - turns out whoever entered our address into the Fed Ex system typed in 130 instead of 103 for our address. This is all time sensitive stuff, and some of it needs to be refrigerated asap! Yikes! Plus, when I got the call with our instructions, I was to start last evening. That meant we were definitely down to the wire. So Ed and I had to shoot up to the Fed Ex Shipping Center in Peabody - only about a 25 minute drive, but still! Not exactly how we had planned to start this cycle off. Anyway, two different shots a day (one friday night, one saturday morning and saturday night) and then blood test at 6:30 tomorrow (Sunday) morning. Fun fun! I will say, however, that the shipment wasn't nearly as big as the last cycle. Let's hope that means less hormones and craziness, as well! The first 2 shots went fine - back to business as usual. It's second nature at this point. Remember, I took 3 shots a day for a few weeks just 2 months ago, so no biggie. It's the shots that Ed has to give me on my behind that start the day of the transfer (and last for up to 12 weeks, if the cycle takes) that are absolutely horrendous! Giant needle, slowly shooting a lovely thick oil into my butt. Can't wait. How crazy is it that I'll have the egg retrieval and transfer in 2 weeks?!?!?!? This time around is much quicker than the last cycle. Yikes! Think babies, people! Actually, think: babY. Not babies. We'll, obviously, be excited for twins, but just one would be great. It's going to be 70 degrees today and I have some errands to do before we head out of town with some great friends to the batting cages! And since the batting cages are RIGHT next door to Richardsons Ice Cream, I'm obviously going to have to have some - fertility diet and all. It's a must. ;-) Happy Saturday!
