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!!

It looks like we are pregnant

Well, we took a HPT and as you can see we are pregnant. We are waiting to hear from the RE so we can go in for our beta.

Day 10 of stims

I went in this morning for blood work and an ultrasound. Dr. Taylor said everything looks great (my follies are over 16 mm now) and told me to lower my Menopur to 1 vial (75 IU) and to keep my Lupron the same. I am to discontinue the Follistim. Yeah!! We are down to 2 shots a day!!! He told me I will be triggering with Ovadrel tomorrow night. My egg retrieval will be on Thursday August 28,2008. I have another appointment tomorrow morning.

Day 8 f stims

I went in this morning for another ultrasound and blood work. Good news....I have several follies that are over 14.5 mm already. The ultrasound tech said a lot has been going on in there since Thursday. She also told me that there are more than enough to work with. YEAH! =) I thought that was wonderful news to hear. They instructed me to keep my Lupron the same, lower my Follistim to 75 IU and to keep the Menopur the same at 2 vials. I have another appointment Monday at 10:30. Hopefully we will be ready for retrieval soon. It is so close I can feel it. Keep praying for healthy embryos.

Day 4 of Stims

Well this morning I went in for my ultrasound and blood work to see how things are going on the stims. Everything looks awesome. Lisa said we have a couple of follies that are 8mm and several 5mm, 6mm and 7 mm. They want me to keep my injections the same and I have another appointment on Thursday at 10:30. It is looking like my egg retrieval will be on Tuesday August 26th. Now the only concern is what is Tropical Storm Faye going to do. Pray everything goes great.

First day of stims

Well, we just did my first day of stims. I must admit, I was shaking like a leaf. I got up this morning and did the Lupron. Then this evening around 5:30 I laid everything out and got to mixing. I forgot to put the Q Cap on and I was getting frustrated because it wasn't working and then all of a sudden a light bulb went off and I remembered. It worked like a charm. We decided to do the Menopur first. BOY...did that one burn!!! We did the two vials of that one and then we did the 150 IU of Follistim. That one was not that bad. It is very sore where we did those injections. I just checked on them and I already have a little bruise there. It looks like we may need to pick a different spot for tomorrow. So, one day down and a little over a week to go. Keep praying for us. =)

We start the stims tomorrow

I went to the doctor's office today. They did my blood work and another ultrasound. They told me everything looked good. I waited for Lisa to give me instructions on how to do the stims. She gave me a calender with what doses I need to be taking for the next 3 days. I am to lower my Lupron to 10 units tomorrow morning. I am also going to be on 150 IU of Follistin and 2 vials of Menopur between 4-6 p.m everyday. She told me the Menopur may burn a little. So now we are at 3 shots a day!!! I go back to the doctor on Tuesday at 9:30 for my blood work and ultrasound to see how the stims are working. We are on our way!

We started Lupron

We went in today for our appointment. I did an ultrasound and everything checked out. Good sign. We then met with Lisa and she instructed Clay and I on how to give the Lupron injection. It went well. I am to take 20 units all this week. I expected it to hurt and I didn't even feel it. I have one more birth control pill to take and we are done with that. I have another appointment on August 15th to start the Menopur and Follistim. At that visit I have bloodwork also.

While we were there we also signed the consent forms. Dr. Taylor said we are moving right along. :o)

One More Day

Well tomorrow is the BIG day. We have a 9:00 appointment. I have an ultrasound and Lisa told me to bring in my Lupron so we can learn how to give the injections. I will not be able to leave the office until I give it to myself. We also have to fill out some papers and put down a payment. Keep me in your prayers.
