We are triggering tonight

After 13 long days of stims I am officially triggering tonight at 9:30 CST. There are plenty of good sized follies to work with I was told today. There are several between 16-17mm. I am having my egg retrieval this Wednesday (April Fools Day) and we are shooting for a day 5 transfer. It looks like my beta is April 15th...tax day. LOL!!! Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.

Day 13 stims

I am officially on Day 13 of stims. I am done to just 2 vials of menopur. I go back in the morning for another ultrasound and blood work. If things go good we should be triggering tomorrow and retrieval will be Wednesday.

Day 12 stims

I had to go to the Metairie office today. We did the ultrasound and blood work. I am now taking 2 vials of Menopur and one vial of Bravelle. I go back to the RE on Monday. We are getting closer. I had several follies that were 11 yesterday and are up to 14.4 today. YIPPEE!!!

Day 7 on stims

Well, I went back this morning for another check up. We did the ultrasound and blood work. I met with Dr. Taylor today and he said things are progressing well. He thinks that my egg retrieval will be this Sunday if things go like my last cycle. He told me to stay on the same dose of medication and I go back Wednesday morning for another follow up. I will be doing my pre-op on Wednesday as well and Clay and I have to sign all of the consent forms. Keep us in your prayers.

Day 4 on Stims

I went in this morning for my blood work and ultrasound to see how things are going. Things are going great. We have plenty of follies growing and they are around 4.4 in size. We need them to get to 17 or 18. I am on the same dose of my medication: 2 vials of Menopur and 2 vials of Bravelle and the Lupron stayed at 10 units. The headaches have been horrible this time around. I came home from work Wednesday night with a migraine. I have another appointment on Monday for a follow up. Grow Follies Grow!!!

Happy Birthday Clay!!!

I am on my stims

I went to the RE this morning for my blood work and ultrasound and they said everything looks good. I am going to be lowering my Lupron to 10cc and taking 2 vials of Menopur and 2 vials of Bravelle. I go in for more blood work and another ultrasound on Friday. Grow Follies Grow!!!







Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

We have officially started

I went in this morning for an ultrasound to make sure I have no cysts growing on my ovaries from the birth control pills. Everything looked great and we started the Lupron today. I am taking 20cc every morning in my belly. I have another appointment next Tuesday which happens to be St. Patrick's Day. I will be starting my stims then. We are adding Bravelle to it this time. Most of the medication came in today. We will get the rest next week. Keep those fingers and toes crossed for us.
