Update!

I just wanted stop by and let everyone know that I am doing great! I am starting to feel some heaviness in my lower abdomen and I think that my ovaries are getting larger. I can't explain how amazing this feels. I am so happy right now! I have an appointment on Wednesday! I can't wait!

The Journey Begins

Today is Friday the 13th., and it's also the day I begin taking my stims. I will be taking 150IU of Menopur, and 150 IU on Bravelle. These medicines come in vials of 75IU each so, my dosage is 4 vials of medicine. I have to mix my own medicine but that is cool. I been practicing, and I had a shot class that also taught me. On top of all that when I picked up the medicine yesterday, I went through another little training. So I am ready!!!

I had my baseline u/s and b/w yesterday and everything looked really good. The nurse told me she loved what she saw, and they expect a good response from the medicine. I got some bad news the other day (not pertaining to treatment) and it seems like the Devil is trying to get in the way of my happiness, but as usual I will get up, brush myself off, and keep truckin! I will probably post later and let you know how the shot went. Chow!

The Next Step is...

Hey! AF came to the party today! I was thrilled to see her even though I thought she wasn't coming. So I called the doctor's office twice this morning, and early in the afternoon I got a call back letting me know to come to the clininc on Thursday 6/12. I have to go and get baseline u/s and b/w. Basically, they are checking my blood to make sure that my estrogen levels are really low. The Lupron I have been taking takes care of that. Secondly, they are going to look at my ovaries to make sure that they are nice and quiet, so I can begin stims on FRIDAY the 13TH! Freaky huh? I look at it as I have a funny story to tell my kids! I started this process on what some believe to be the unluckiest day! I have to go to Miami on Wed. 6/11 to take care of some important business and I promise to post a blog and let you know how that day went! Thank you Jesus! Everything is falling into place and I have nobody to thank but you!!

Happy Lupron Day!!!

Hey!
I did my first Lupron shot today. It was great. It felt like a little pinch and then it was over. I was really happy when it was done. I feel as though I am one step closer to being a mother! Also I got some encouraging news today as well. God is about to work something out in my life, and I couldn't be happier. The funny thing about all of this is I get happier about someone else's IVF cycle rather than my own. :-) I love to hear about on of my "Ferty-Friends" getting pregnant. It really makes me fell good and it inspires me! Well that's all for now. I stop taking the pills on June 5th, and as soon as AF comes I go in for my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork. Then the next step after that is to start sims!!!!
