Hi ladies!
Pretty happy--we had our day 3 u/s. Blood draws were freaking painful. My arms are bruised like an addict.
Started follistem, even though we thought we would be doing Clomid. RE said this is a better choice. My darling partner is giving me the injections, which makes it easier on me, sort of shares the burden.
I feel mighty crummy now, which I think is not related, achy belly. I think it was too much lunch? Which really isn't true, I eat a lot all the time. It's a funny little tummy ache I've had for two days.
Anyway, here we sit, watching a movie, growin' some eggs. I'm crossing my eyes with effort.

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
