Under Contract & Injectable Meds

OMG!! After only 11 days on the market I got a great offer for my home and I accepted! I still have to get through the inspection and appraisal, but I have a really good feeling about it. It is so exciting, I could be living in Alaska before Thanksgiving!!!

On the fertility front, I am in the middle of several weeks worth of injectable meds to prepare me for the egg retrieval. All these meds make me feel lousy, I'm experiencing hot flashes, headaches and extreme tiredness. Other than that I'm peachy! LOL

Egg Retrieval & The Big Move

Since it has only been 3 months since my myomectomy I can't try to get pregnant again just yet, but I can however freeze my eggs so when I am given the green light then I'll be ready to go. To make my chances of fertilization greater, I will need as many eggs as possible retrieved so I have been prescribed several medications some of which I will have to inject everyday to help stimulate follicle development. While I am not afraid of needles, I am NOT comfortable giving myself a shot or in this case more than one shot a day everyday for several weeks so we shall see.

In other news, I'm planning on moving to Alaska to be closer to my brother & sister-in-law! I'm really excited about the move, with everything that has happened this year I desperately need a fresh start. I don't have a move date yet because I have to sell my house first. I could go ahead and move to Alaska while I'm waiting for my house to sell but I really don't want to pay both my mortgage and rent on an apartment. Unfortunately I can't live with my brother because both him & his wife are seriously allergic to cats so I would have to rent a place. I'm still very much enjoying my sabbatical, I knew I needed this time off to take care of myself but I didn't really know how much of a toll it had all taken on me. Anyways, my house should be ready to go on the market next week so let's hope it sells fast so I can get going already! And if you're wondering...yes, this move will affect my home study as I will have to pay to have it transferred and updated (again), oh and I have to research and find a new agency in Alaska.
