A Pee Cocktail? Nah, just HCG.

Yet another sojourn to the clinic this AM. All my numbers are high so I have officially stopped taking the FSH injectables. Hooray! At 9:45 tonight (yes, I was told to do it exactly at that time) I injected the HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) which stimulates the release of the egg during ovulation. It can also cause early puberty in boys. Just a random factoid.

Another random factoid is that HCG is made from the urine of pregnant women. I'm glad I didn't drink it instead. ;)

One more trip to the clinic tomorrow for yet more blood work and then to the surgery center on Thursday for the retrieval. 

I have been very tired and sort of dizzy...low, low energy these past two days, especially. It feels like my head is underwater, or being squished somehow. I just want to escape my body, even for a few minutes. I can't remember what it feels like not to feel like this. Let me out!!
