Orientation

My apologies for just now posting what went on last Thursday for orientation. We have been so busy that this is really the first time that I have gotten to sit down and think about everything we learned. Orientation went really well. We were presented lots and lots of information. I felt like my head was spinning after the presentation. We were there from 8:30 until about 1:00. I feel like I know everything that I need too before going into this. We met some of the nicest people from the labs, the surgical team, the other doctor's in the practice, and many nurses. I like that I already know and have seen some of them. We have decided that we are going to put back 2 of our best eggs and then freeze the other ones in case we need them for future use. The end of training was all about our shots and how to use them. I thought I was going to faint when we began pulling out all of the needles. There are three different kinds that we will be using. The first ones are for suppression and they are just small syringes that are put in the stomach. The second set are also put in the stomach but these are the stimulating drugs. These meds come in a pen that you dial in the amount of medicine and then inject. The third was are progesterone and these look scary. It is a longer and thicker needle and the medicine is oil based. Yeah!! Jared will be giving these to me in the hip/butt area. We did have to practice giving ourselves one in the stomach and it was a little difficult for me. My mind was saying "inject it "and my hand was saying "NO". But in the long run I did it and it didn't even hurt. Our next step is to wait until Tuesday and the IVF nurse will be calling with my schedule. We are so excited to get this. We are hoping to get started right away. We will also be ordering the meds when she calls.
I will definitely post as soon as I hear something. We can't believe the time is here.
