Potions 101

Beginning yesterday, I started my injections for IUI.  Where I have to stab myself every night.  Doesn't that sound lovely? Part of my nightly puncture process involves mixing my drugs together before injecting them... kind've makes me feel like a potions master.  Jon jokes that instead of alchemy turing lead into gold... we are turning  sodium chloride and bravelle into a baby :)  To make the act of stabbing myself with a sharp object easier... we went to the store and got Disney Princess bandaids.



About 5 minutes after taking this picture... my shipment arrived of my entire month's dosage...



Apparently I am injecting my own weight in drugs over the next few weeks... haha.  We did get 2 free ice packs out of it.  There is one box not in the picture because it's in the fridge.  There was a sheet showing all the costs of the medications in the box showing  a total of $2,300... thanks to insurance $115.00.  Insurance can stink to deal with.. but when they finally buck up and listen we really do appreciate it. 


Now to figure out how to concoct felix felicis...

PRINCESS BANDAIDS! I tell you, they make it all worth it. Probably getting pregnant does too, but bandaids are instant gratification.
