A little freak out

September 23, 2012:  Cycle Day 23.  An early Sunday morning around here as is usual since we volunteer at our church's 9:15 service and then attend the 11:15 service.  We are currently doing a series in Kidspring (our kid's ministry) entitled "Heroes".  Every Sunday for the past six weeks all volunteers have had to wear our super heroes shirts.  I always feel a bit like Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory when I wear mine.

Abi had a friend come home after church with us.  We had to go to Best Buy and get a new wireless router because ours had been acting up, so we went and ate at Five Guys first before going to Best Buy.  After we got home I took a short nap and then did my invoice for work.  I should have gone and gotten groceries, as Sunday night is my grocery shopping night, but I was just too tired and was really craving a banana split for supper.  So we ended up taking the kids to Pizza and Then Some for pizza and banana splits.  I was even able to convince Brian to eat out outside.  I had a good time, but of course Brad was acting a fool.  That boy was off the chain yesterday.  He has ADHD and I gave him the choice of either taking his medicine or not before church.  He chose not to, which was fine because he has been forgetting it on Sundays anyways, and he is able to sit still through the service.  Well, he bought a huge cookie at the Awake coffee shop and a Monster energy drink, so he was just off the chain all day!!!

The message church was really good and something I really needed to hear, that God is still great and God is still good even when we don't feel His presence or feel like He is listening to us.  We have to praise God no matter our circumstances.  I stood for prayer at the end and held my hand out to Brian, who stood up with me.  Several people put their hands on our shoulders and prayed for us as Perry was saying the closing prayer.  One lady introduced herself to me after the service and I ended up telling her that my husband and I were doing fertility treatments.  She told me that she would keep me in her prayers :-)  I also ended up telling the women that I volunteer with in the nursery about me doing IVF.  Some of them didn't even have a clue that I wanted to get pregnant.  I usually try not to tell a whole lot of people because then that's more people you have to tell if/when you find out that the cycle didn't work.

Anyways, now an explanation for the title of this post...I did my injections last night and put everything away.  I thought I had put all of my medicine away (in the fridge) but I forgot the Lupron!  It ended up staying out for three hours!!!  Needless to say, I was freaking out and doing all kinds of internet searches to see if that was okay.  Of course I am not the first one to have ever done that.  I called Dr. Nichols' office this morning and all is well.  It's okay for it to sit out as long as it isn't 24 hours or more, so phew that's good.  I also asked about mixing the three shots to make one, but that's a no go :-(
