Good morning everybody!  Today I had a loss of .6, the total is 24.  The average so far is .77 lbs/day.  Not bad!
I am concerned because as I was doing my shot today, I realized that my hcg is looking really low.  I drew as much of it as I could into the syringe to see how much it is.  It looks like it is only enough for 4-6 more shots.  According to what the doc told me when he prescribed, there should have been enough for *50* shots.  I have only done 31 so far (because of the one day a week skips).  I don't know if I mixed it wrong or if I have used too much on each shot? I have tried to be so careful in measuring it everyday. 
I wanted to take the max of 40 shots this  round (as per the protocol) but its looking like maybe that's not going to happen.  I hope I'm wrong.  I drew up as much as I could but there was still some left and  its hard to say how much.  The main thing I am worried about is that my period should be starting any day now.  I have read that ending the shots during that time can make it really hard to stabilize in Phase 3.  I don't really know why, but many have had that experience.  I  felt confident that I wasn't going to run into that problem, having 2 more weeks to go.  I'm not sure what to do!  I wish it would just start already! It's 28 days since my last started... but lately it has  come as late as day 35!  (I've had a few pregnancy scares because of it!)  If anybody out there has any advice for me I would love some guidance!  I wish I could just go get some extra hcg easily, but it takes time no matter how you get it.  Unless my doc would just give me another prescription. But I don't know if he could prescribe me just a little bit, and to get a whole prescription just for a few extra shots would be a big waste of money (the hcg probably wouldn't stay good until my next round in 6 weeks).
Anyway, I will try to figure this out and let you know what I decide.  Have a great day everybody!

Brooke, I will give you some if you run out so that you can get to the 40 days.

Yay! Congratulations on all your losses! :) Good luck with finishing it up. That's kinda weird that there's not enough ... ?
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! Yeah, the not having enough is a mystery to me.
