2 trips to RMIA this morning

Good afternoon. What a beautiful day it is.
I'm still giving myself 2 shots a day. I feel like my tummy is running out of real estate that doesn't have a pin mark or a bruise. I gave myself a nice one this morning. It even drew blood.

I was into Dr Pavelka on Monday and Thursday. I had blood drawn both days to check my estrogen levels. On Thursday I also had an ultrasound to see how many and the size of my follicles. I have 9 growing with 2 of them being smaller.

This morning I went out to RMIA for a blood draw. I came home had breakfast and did some yard work. At 10 I realized I forgot the medication that was waiting for me at the clinic. I called and got the vm telling me that they were closed. So I got in my car and drove back hoping someone would still be their. I prayed most of the way their. The doors were locked so I called the after hours number to tell them my problem. I was so embarrassed. They took my message and told me I would get a call back. I let them know that I was sitting in the parking lot. My prayers were answered someone was still their and I got my meds. I'm not sure what I would have done otherwise.

My retrieval date has changed. I don't know when it will happen. My guess is Wednesday. I should know more on Monday after more blood work and an ultrasound.



I've had all 5 viles of my sperm sent over to RMIA. Not many women can say they have/own sperm. Dr Pavelka still had one vile we needed to get it over to RMIA. Normally what would be done is have it shipped back to the sperm bank and then ship it out with the rest. I got a lucky break. RMIA has a shipping tank. Chris one of the employee's at RMIA also lives close to Dr. Pavelka's office so he picked it up and saved me an extra $165 shipping charge.

These are the highlights of my adventure this last week.
As I mentioned in my last post that Gayle and I were going skydiving last weekend. We did and loved it. I'd post pictures but we forgot to take them. We were bummed.
Last Sunday at Church Pastor Bob started his sermon talking about his desire to jump out of an airplane about 3 years ago. I started laughing. He processed to tell the story about being at Twin Cities Skydive with the jump master Joe. This made me laugh even harder because this is were we were and I jumped with Joe. What a small world it is.
I haven't been able to run since last Saturday due to my ovaries growing. I really miss it. I'm currently training for the Rock-n-Roll Seattle half marathon on June 27th. This will be my first half marathon. I've run 4 fulls. I had wanted to do the full but with not knowing what the future holds so I'll do the half and be happy with it.

I'm still able to walk my training which I'm happy for. I'm more tiered than normal do I'll enjoy the walking for now.
