I have been slacking and didn't post for a while, well because there was nothing to post. Last time I posted we were waiting for MORE test results! Thankfully they ALL came back normal, and we were able to start the IVF process. On February 13, I started taking the birth control pill (go figure), I guess you have to go backward before you can move forward. There are reasons that they do it but I still think its a little crazy.
A few weeks later I received my GIANT box of all the medicines I would need for my IVF cycle. If I hadn't been overwhelmed by this process yet, the box of medicines did it!
That following Monday, February 27, I began my Lupron injections. I have to do them every morning for the next few weeks, I start out at 10 units and then decrease to 5 units on March 7. That Friday (the 9th) I start my stimulation injects (yes that means I will be giving myself 3 injections a day! 1 in the morning and 2 at night).
The needles aren't bad. I am having pretty minimal side effects, just ask Ry how wonderful my moods are :) I have been having some hot flashes and nausea, but nothing intolerable.
Now that my cycle has started, I am going to try to post more often and hopefully by Easter I will have something new to post about :)
