Cycle Day 6 - July 13, 2009

I'm feeling much better today, probably because I slept in! =)

I went to see my family doctor to pick up more Preg Vit and to tell her about my current IVF cycle. I mentioned about my discomfort with the needles and she recommended that I sit down for my abdominal injections. She mentioned that my muscles would be more relaxed and it would be easier to pinch the sides of my abdomin. So I decided to try it tonight. Did it work? Yes, it's easier to pinch the sides, but the pain is extremely intense! Hubby has asked me to yell out things like, "You're so good or I love you" when he's injecting me rather than, "Ahhhh". He tells me that this makes him "feel" better about poking me with needles... lol

I picked up my 4 free entrance tickets to the PNE for living in the neighbourhood and went to check out a used 210 gallon fish tank with my hubby. A 210 gallon tank is HUGE! The tank without water weighs ~450lbs! With the rocks and water it'll probably weigh between ~1200 - 1600lbs... will my floor be able to handle this weight? So why do we need this HUGE tank? My hubby invested in an Asian Arowana - Gold crossback. It's about 1 year old. He paid $700 for this fish. In a few years when it becomes gold, it supposed to be worth ~$5000 or more. We currently have a 90 gallon tank and this arowana is 10 inches in length. It will grow between 2 and 3 feet in length... So we will need a new tank in about a year. I'll post a picture of his prized fish tomorrow.

The nurses should be calling me tomorrow for a blood test on Wednesday... how lovely, more needle work... =(
