Green light....

I just finished injecting my first concoction of stim drugs for IVF#2. My E2 was 91 which is high but my RE didn't feel we needed to lower it. She didn't feel it would make a difference. I had placed a call to the IVF line letting them know that I would be ok with waiting longer on Lupron to try and get the level lower.The nurse left me some explanation on my voicemail at work but she lost me in the translation. They told me if I wanted to wait and have it rechecked in a few days that was fine but I decided to trust my RE and move on.

Right now I have severe itching and burning on the left side of my belly where I gave myself the shot! It's starting to fade but oweeeee! I forgot how much this stuff stings. I had a moment tonight when I couldn't remember how much solution to mix into one of the vials. Luckily the IVF nurse had sent me instructions again a few weeks ago. This time I am on Follistim 375iu, Menopur 75iu and the Lupron dose is now 5units. Plus I start a baby aspirin and Chris and I have to take Doxycyline to kill off any threat of any bacteria. It's the only thing Chris has to take and he's giving me a hard time. He forgot a few doses last cycle. I swear if I go through all this and a retrieval and then get a call from the Embryologist that they couldn't fertilize any of the eggs because Chris has some bacteria in his sperm(sorry, TMI), I will divorce him. Or maybe I won't have to because I'll kill him first. Ok...so I'm exaggerating. Let's just say he will pay dearly.

So now I go back on Saturday for an u/s and b/w. I already put work on alert that I could possibly be out on Monday for my retrieval. I am so lucky that they are supportive. Fingers crossed that we have a great response to the medications again!
