Highlights from this weekend:
- A free bottle of champagne on ice in my hotel room - I guess they thought I was a big time gambler!
- Cirque du Soleil's Love - it was so great, I didn't even mind being there by myself
- An amazing spa treatment that included an arctic sauna with "snow" to cool off after the hot sauna
- Winning $1 at the quarter slots, only to lose it when I kept on gambling (I should've listened to Kenny Rogers and known when to walk away)
- Braving another fancy dinner on my own - and meeting a really nice older man who gave me his extra ticket to see Lionel Ritchie for free
- Giving myself my Gonal-F shot on the plane - with no one noticing, and no turbulence induced trauma
For those of you who wondered, getting the medication on the plane wasn't a problem at all. I brought it in the box with the prescription label on it just in case, but the TSA agents didn't even ask to see it. I was really nervous about giving myself the shot in public, but it was a quiet flight and the guy next to me slept the whole way, so he didn't even notice. Now I totally have street cred with my patients when they say they can't give themselves insulin in public....only most of them have no idea I'm trying to conceive, so I guess I can't use that story just yet.
Next up is an ultrasound on Friday to see how things are going!

This sounds like a great trip and I'm so glad the injection went down without incident. So many things to make us nervous on the IF journey. Can't wait to hear about the u/s. Good luck
ReplyDeleteI'll cross my fingers for you on Friday that all looks good. Sounds like the Vegas trip was a great getaway even with the day-long conference thrown in there. All the fun was just a great bonus!

I was so afraid of traveling with the meds too, and was shocked how easy it was to get them through! I still can't figure out how it's safe to let someone bring all those needles on board!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at that ultrasound appointment lady! I'm pulling for you!
Welcome Back.... you seem to be always on the GO! I can relate... I used to be that way and miss it a little bit. Good Luck Friday! I'm so happy to know you are back in the cycle that could lead to your dream.... I've been keeping up via iPhone but hard to comment... home internet down for a WEEK. Looking forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great trip. We're going later this fall and I can't wait. Waiting for the u/s update.
