Stimulation

I have started the injections that will force my ovaries to develop mulitple eggs. I had bloodwork and an ultrasound on Friday and more bloodwork today. The new shots sting like hell and I am soooooo tired. I am going to work, but I'm not sure you can call what I'm doing "working". I mostly sit at my desk, waiting for the doctor to call with my blood results and try not to fall asleep or start crying. The bruising on my stomach has started causing bleeding with every injection. I could inject in my thighs, but may have to do the IM injections there, so I am trying to keep that area bruise-free. I have had the same slight headache for three days. I have hot flashes. I have to bite my tongue not to go all Tourette's on people and tell them I hate them.
I have reached a point in the process that is similar to the point you reach during finals in college or preparing for an audit at work. It's the point where you don't really care what the outcome is, you just want it to be over. I (obviously) still want to get pregnant, but more than anything, I just want this to be over. At least then I will know and can react and process accordingly. Overall, I am not feeling very stimuated by the stimulation medication...It's just temporary. This isn't forever...It's just temporary. This isn't forever...(insert deep breath here). I will keep you posted.
