So far so good

Everything is going according to plan so far, just one minor blip. I apparently have hypothyroidism. Where this came from, I don't know. The nurse tells me it is genetic, yet no one in my family has it. I seem to be the first of many things in my family tree...and not in a good way! The only reason I even believe this new diagnosis is that I have the worst night sweats where I wake up and am drenched in sweat, almost like I stepped out of a cold shower. But I don't feel sluggish in general. I read that if left unchecked, hypothyroidism can cause miscarriages. So I will diligently take my meds now but I can't promise I will stay on them for life (luckily they are only $5...in case I do have to).
At my last u/s, they found an 8th follicle, so that's good. The more, the better the chance of more eggs. I go in again tomorrow morning to be monitored.
I am still on the same meds, with no side effects (yay!) but now my belly is starting to get bruised and tender from all the shots. I have been doing 3 shots a night, even though it is 2 meds. They overfill one of the vials, so you can always squeeze out a little more from one vial but it means not getting an exact dose so you have to do a second injection from a new vial to get the correct dosage. It's worth it considering one vial costs $700.
I think someone else I know is pregnant. I don't know for certain, but my pregnancy intuition has kicked in.
