Round 5

We have just started another round of IUI. Tonight was my fourth night of Menopur injections. For some reason, this time around the shots hurt. They used to hurt when I was actually pushing the medication in, but now it hurts from the moment I try sticking the needle in until I pull it out. I have heard from some other people that I know through a board I am on that this has happened to them, too. I wonder why it is? I do feel different this time around in the 1-2 hours after my shots. I feel twinges coming from my ovaries. Hopefully that is a good sign. I think those of us who are TTC look for any potential "good signs". I suppose it could be something else, but trying to remain positive. I have also been doing my Circle and Bloom relaxation exercises each night, but school has been so exhausting that I keep falling asleep through them. I must be getting really good at them if I can become that relaxed :) If you know me, I have a hard time relaxing. I always feel like I should be doing something else, or thinking about something else.

The other night, as I had the needle in my stomach, who comes into the bathroom? Jake! He looks at me with worried eyes and asks me, "Are you okay, Mommy?" I assured him that I was okay. I tried yelling for Joe, but when you have a needle inside you, it is hard to do that. I told Jake to go get daddy and Joe came back to the bathroom and I told him what Jake saw. We just told him that I was taking medicine. I wonder if he said anything to anyone at preschool or daycare. "My mommy was putting medicine in her tummy last night!" Not what I really want to be explaining to everyone!
