Quick Update!

Hey y'all! I just wanted to pop in an say hello. As of today, I am still on the pills. I have 7 more to go!!! I begin Lupron shots on June 2nd. That's next Monday! Talk about excited! Actually I'm not that excited, but the anticipationis building though! I have good thoughts about this and my faith in God is strong. His word said you only need faith the size of a mustard seed. I got that and then some! Anyway...
I'm feel great except for the headcaches that I get from the BCPs. I'm preparing myself for the Lupron headaches, which I heard were killer! But, this will be for my kids so I'm cool with it. Well, I'm about to go make my baby some pork chops and squash...I'll holla!!!

On Your Mark....

Well!!!! I got the call today to go ahead and start my BC pills. My FSH levels are 4.2. That is extremely good. So I will respond really well to the medication. I am so thrilled! You have no idea. This has been a long road coming and we still have a ways to go! My protocol so far is I will be taking the pills until 6/5, and I will begin the Lupron injections 6/2. I have a couple of friends who will be starting soon, so it's kind of nice to have someone that I can really relate to and share this experience with. I am already thanking God for my babies (I want twins). I know that this will work. Positive thoughts bring positive things (Carina said that)!!!

Update!!!

Greetings,
Well, I went to the doctor on Monday 5/12/08 and I had blood drawn for my FSH tests. Immediately after I got a huge lump to the right of the injection site and it was painful...I mean Painful!! LOL! My nurse Bonnie gave me my BC pills and my Lupron Kit. She strictly told me do not start taking the pills until I call you. (She will be waiting on the results of the FSH screen) I am so excited and I can't wait cause once I start taking the pills, I can officailly say I have begun my first IVF cycle. She told me it takes 3-4 days to get the result and today is Thursday, so hopefully I'll be getting a phone call today. That's all for now. I will let you know when she calls me and what the results were of the test. Toodles!!!

Finally!!!

Finally. Aunt Flo came to join us. :-) Yesterday I started my cycle and the next step in this process is on Monday. I will be going to have the FSH level in my blood checked. The lower the number the better. This test measures my ovarian reserve. Basically, my doctor wants to see how many eggs I have left and the quality of those eggs. Anyone who knows me, knows that a part of me wants to start panicking! LOL! I know everything will be ok. Everything else has so far. And I do mean EVERYTHING. I love my husband so much. He is my strength and he helps me to stay grounded. I love you boobie! I will let y'all know how the test goes on Monday. Thanks for tuning in!
