It’s like riding a bike…you never forget.

Those are words that I don’t necessarily believe because I haven’t ridden a bike in 20 years and I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t be any good at it. In the spirit of the saying, however, injecting myself with stimulation meds is like riding a bike 🙂

Timing was on my side and I went in for my day 2 ultrasound and blood work on Monday. I just did my 3rd night of injections. It’s kind of scary how naturally it all comes to me now. There’s no hesitation. I’m an expert at prepping, sanitizing and stabbing myself.

I’m still feeling relatively normal. There’s been no major bloat yet, my hormones seem under control and I’m not exhausted yet like I was last time. I know all can change in the blink of an eye, but for now I’m feeling good. I go in for another monitoring appointment tomorrow and will likely be going every other day (at a minimum) until next weekend.

It’s strange that these nightly injection routines have become easy. I feel oddly at peace this go around. It’s probably the forced time off and having been drug free for awhile. I’m hoping these are good signs for the cycle to come and that I go into the new year with positive news.
