Doctor Visit #3: To Destroy or Not to Destroy

This visit I was supposed to come armed with my notarized consent forms (eggs are serious business) as well as my medication.  The medication weathered literal storms and arrived on my doorstep at 8pm the night before the appointment.  I waived the signature to make sure they'd leave it on my doorstep but had I known how expensive it was...the copay wasn't terrible but apparently it's $4K worth of drugs!

Prior to the appointment I had to sign documents that determine the fate of my eggs in the event of my demise (or non storage payment).  There's donation to a couple, donation to research, or just destroying them altogether.  Something to think about.

The appointment was normal - I'm getting rather used to them.  Ultrasound, blood test, and a call in the afternoon with a green light.  Rinse, lather, repeat.  The main difference this time was a demo on the shots.  I honestly don't mind needles much if someone else is sticking me.  But the thought of self-inflicted pain weirds me out.  The practice was sort of fun - almost like a science project or Episode of Breaking Bad.  Mixing vials of chemicals and injecting them into a rubber sphere that mimics belly fat.  But actually shooting myself up...eeekk!
