Now I Wait...

Ok. I am now 2 days past egg retrieval, and I am constipated, but I feel good otherwise. I had 13 eggs retrieved and 8 fertilized. I am having embryo transfer on Saturday. I wanted to post more, but between school, and all the early morning appts, I wasn't feelin' it. I am praying that all 8 embies make it to blast, so I can have my pick of the litter and have some to put on ice for the next time. I will post again when I have more info to share.

Burn Baby Burn!!

So! I have been MIA for a few days thanks to school and everything I else I have going on. After taking the birth control pills on last Tuesday, my period started on Friday, October 3rd. I had my baseline appt on Tuesday the 7th where they checked my uterine lining which was 3.8mm. They measured the E2 (estrogen) in my blood and it was 45. I was given the greenlight to begin stims on Wednesday the 8th. I am taking 2 vials of Bravelle and 2 vials of Menopur. The first shot went really well besides the fact that the medicine burns like hell going in! Oh my! I am already feeling tenderness in my lower belly area. I am getting so nervous when I think about egg retrieval. I could just scream sometimes. I don't know why I am so nervous. I've been through it before, and it really wasn't that bad. Granted, I was sore afterwards, but the pain was totally bearable. I also worry about missing school. Oh well. This is more important to me than school. I am praying that this works. I have never been pregnant and it surely would be nice to be pregnant for the first time this Christmas. God is watching me, and I know that he will make everything alright. I truly feel as though I deserve this. I will update you all later. I am going to go watch some T.V. and spend some quality time with my baby! Ciao!!

One Step Down...

So last night was my last birth control pill! Yay!!!! My head surely will appreciate it. Them things been giving me funny headaches and my eyes feel weird. It's pretty hard to explain. So the Lupron is doing me just fine so far. Not hot flashes or anything! I just hope that it stays this way. So now I sit here and wait for AF. Hopefullt she will be here by this weekend. I go in on Oct. 7th at 8:45am. I will be getting an u/s and b/w. As long as everything is fine with those two (which I'm sure it will) I will start stims on Wednesday the 8th. I will be taking 2 vials of Menopur and 2 vials of Bravelle. So I am ready to rock and roll!! LOL!! Well one more day of school for the week and I am done! I am happy about that.
