95 days...
of injections in total.
I would guess that that's about 130 injections, since some overlapped, some were split doses and many of the PIO my dh hit blood and therefore had to give me more injections.
Isn't that crazy? (no, probably not to my IF friends! ha!HA!)
And Jenny - as much as the injections hurt and were aweful cause they're HUGE - i'd still take them over suppositories for some reason! Maybe i'm weird! :)
Oh... I just got a birthday gift from a really close friend... the card said "i know you've been through emotional hell this year - but the next will be better" and he made a $ donation to the infertility awareness association of canada for me. HOW SWEET IS THAT? He's THE BEST - and that's why he'll be godfather to our children (although we haven't asked yet!!)
I just found out through a friend at work who knows I'm pregnant that a few people have asked another coworker of ours if i'm pregnant. I think it's time to tell. I'll try to hold off until thursday or friday - i have another u/s on thursday and then we'll share i guess. I'm still living in denial - thinking it's happening to somebody OTHER than me! AND i can't stand people who are over excited with my pregnancy - i mean I'm excited - but i feel like "you don't know the story - so STOP IT." :( hopefully i'll grow out of that.
I'm 12weeks pregnant today. WHAT a milestone. AND the spotting as STOPPED (i spotted all week-end)

How exciting to reach that 12 week mark! I hope that your u/s goes well. Have fun telling everyone!
About the progesterone shots vs. suppositories. I wasn't given an option on whether to stay on the shots, they just automatically switched me to suppositories after my pregnancy test; I had no reason to question it. I didn't react well to the suppositories; they weren't giving me the progesterone I needed...and they think that might be why I lost the twin. So, they switched me back to the shots and all was well. They said I could have lost both if I'd waited longer. I'd never recommend the suppositories to anyone, just to be on the safe side.
Congratulations on reaching 12 weeks! I've been reading for the last 4 or so. :-)
It sounds like our "how we got to IVF" stories are kind of similar... it gives me some hope to see that you are pregnant!
So, it is fitting that people are congratulating you, because you ARE PREGNANT!!! Hopefully you will (little by little) start to feel like this is real and enjoy it like those non-IF'ers usually do... you deserve it!
Congrats on the 12 weeks!! May it be smooth sailing from here!
I'll take a shot over those supps any day as well!
