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!!
