Post 36: Holy Shot!

The day is here! We officially start our medications tonight. We just left med teach (shot class as I like to call it) and are ready to go. We spent about 90 minutes learning how to correctly mix the medications and shoot me. Eek! Shaun said he's ready to go, but I'm a little concerned with the smile he had on his face during class. 

Is this the face you want shooting you each day? I guess it could be worse, and he could look terrified, or not show up like the husband of the other couple in the class with us. 

We also had to pay today for the entire IVF cycle, and I'm pretty sure my heart stopped when I handed over my parent's credit card. I definitely think raising a child will be cheaper than making one. But, $10,628 later, we're ready to go. We will get reimbursed for some of the expenses, and will be charged extra for a few unlisted items. However, this amount was the estimate. They're going to allow us to be monitored by David rather than driving to Winston Salem every 3 days. This will not only save us money on the IVF cycle, but also on our hotel costs and our gas expenses. 

In order to celebrate our milestone in our IVF joruney, we gave up the diet for the day. So far, we've had Krispy Kreme, Waffle House, Japanese, and a very large cheesecake cupcake. Yum! Back to the avocado tomorrow, but for today, we feast!
