I have just 3 more days to go on my first round of doxycycline....yeah almost there! I also finished up my birth control pills Friday night, so that is also one less thing to worry too. My menstrual cycle started today and hopefully this will be the last one in a loooong time. Come on baby making :-)
Taking microbiology during this round of IVF treatments has been rather interesting. Certainly I have research and read about the various medications used for reproductive purposes before but never to the extent that I am now. We are currently discussing antibiotics and antibiotic resistance, among other things in class, and I find it really interesting to actually be able to understand better how these things work chemically within the body....interesting stuff.
I am loving the micro class - I find it extremely interesting. My midterm is coming up on Friday ... and I am trying to cram lots of study time in as I really want to do well. The kids on the other hand can't wait until I am done with the class - they think I have become obsessed (ok ok more obsessed than before) with them washing their hands before touching everything in the kitchen and really around the house .....You know what, studying microbiology will make any parent more obsessed with cleanliness ~ I dare you to try it! You will then understand what I am talking about, the comments "but mom I only touched one frog" while coming in from the yard ... or "but I only wiped my nose" while coming out from the bathroom" will make you cry out the standard answer ---- WASH YOUR HANDS before touching anything!!!
...now off to wash my hands ~ as I am sure that if I cultured my computer keyboard I would be thoroughly disgusted at what might lurk there!
