Extreme exhaustion (and emotions)

For the past couple of days I have been extremely tired. I just read online that Menopur makes a lot of women tired. I don't ever remember being this tired on FSH before and Menopur is a new drug to me so maybe that's it. Or maybe it's because my body is working over time to make lots of follicles. Whatever the reason-it's horrible. And then there's my emotions. Carter starts crying today saying he misses Gracie (our Saint Bernard we had to put down last November) I really tried holding it together for his sake but I miss her too. I miss putting my hands in her fur on her big head and cuddling with her. She was with me through all our other infertility treatments and I miss her being here too so I cried with Carter. Cried like a baby.
Got a call from nurse saying Dr. Looked at my bloodwork from yesterday and my estrogen level was 427 and I should start the Cetrotide today and continue daily until I am ready to trigger (right before egg retrieval). Scott wasn't home so I had to mix and administer myself. It went semi smooth. Made a mistake when I was getting air out of syringe and I lost a tiny bit of medication. Rookie mistake. Most of it got in my system around 11:45AM. Tomorrow and the days following I will take this injection between 6 and 8AM. And still do Gonal and Menopur at night between 7 and 9PM. So 3 shots daily probably until the weekend. I am super anxious to go back tomorrow to see how big my follies are.
Today I feel like a hot mess.
