I am beyond happy to report that my suppression check went great on Friday! There were no cysts, my endometrium was thin, and my estradiol was at a 51 (supposed to be anywhere under a 100). Anthony was able to come to my appointment and witness the vagina violation first hand…I think he left feeling thankful that he’s not a woman.
We had already planned a weekend trip to the beach, but the good news made the trip so much more enjoyable! I can’t get my body temperature too hot while doing IVF, so I spent my time reading under an umbrella, or in the water! The beaches are so beautiful here; Anthony and I talked a lot about how we hope to bring our kids here often for family vacations.
We’re back at home now, and we just finished injections for my first night of stimulation medicine! I had anxiety all weekend about these dang meds! For stims, I am taking two different medicines: Follistim, and Menopur. Some people inject them in two different shots, but my doctor said they could be mixed, so that it’s only one injection. The mixing was a little confusing, and we questioned what we were doing a million times, but we finally did it! I have heard that the Menopur stings really bad, but it didn’t burn at all. Maybe the mixing helped?! I am also still taking Lupron, but the dosage is now half of what it was before. With two shots a day, I’m hoping that I don’t run out of places on my tummy to inject!
My next appointment is this Friday. We will be checking to see how many follicles I have, and how big they are. I am expecting to be very bloated over the next 10 days, as my ovaries are going to be housing so many (hopefully) growing follicles.
I’ll keep you updated; thank you for your continued prayers! xo
Yeppie!! This is great news!
