day 10 - gonal-f 450, cetro & mothers day

Hello! I missed a few days during Mother's Day weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, as did I. I am still on 450 IU of Gonal-F and we have added Cetrotide to the mix. Day 10 was the second shot of Cetrotide. They hurt! The needle is just a little bit bigger than the Gonal-F needle. Let's say I am ready to be done. I went to the doctor this morning though and I definitely have two more days of both Gonal and Cetrotide. I guess I should mention that Cetrotide delays ovulation. Egg retrieval has been moved to Friday the 19th. You will have to go back to my blog post about cost, because I have updated it!

I was shocked to not feel super left out this Mother's Day! I feel like more and more people are realizing that there are other people that can celebrate Mother's Day as well. I had quite a few friends text me and say "Happy Trying To Be a Mommy Mother's Day"! It made me feel really good that a few people took notice that people like me are doing everything possible to have babies, like sticking yourself with needles twice a day! My best friend was so sweet as well. Her daughter is my God-daughter and she let me know that I am a good God-mommy. :)

Not to mention that I am a fantastic dog mommy! And they are really great practice for babies. In fact, while I am writing this, they won't shut up. They are fighting and barking and playing. And you get to the point that you say, fine, just don't kill each other! :P I have a 6 year old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua named Chula and a near 2 year old Hound/Catahoula named Missy. They are my world and I love them so! Next month is my birthday and it just so happens to be their birthday month as well so we are going to PAR-TAY!

Let me know how your Mother's Day went! How did you feel? Were you super busy or were you able to chill out a little? Give me a little inspiration for further posts! Love you all! xoxo
