The big week has arrived!!
After many weeks/ days of waiting, the start of my active drugs has arrived. I thought I would be more nervous than excited, but I’m honestly excited to get started and ready to see what kind of side effects these drugs are going to have on me.
I visited the fertility clinic yesterday morning (yes, that’s right, 7:30am on Sunday- fertility knows no time) for an ultrasound and blood work to check my PRE-IVF ovaries, progesterone and estrogen levels. All tests came back good; however, they delayed the start of my active drug protocol by 1 day to let things mature just a bit more.
The plan:
- Thursday is the start of Gonal F and Menopur injections, both taken in my stomach, which I’m used to and (BONUS) I can administer myself. The Hubby is definitely relieved by this one! Both will be taken in the evening.
- I’ll continue this protocol for 3 days and go back into the fertility clinic on Sunday (7:30am again, yawn) for an ultrasound and blood work, to determine if the dosage is correct and when to begin the other injections.
Things I’m anxious about: mixing the Menopur correctly, which needs to be reconstituted from powder to liquid form for injection, please pray that I can do this with ease and with little error.
Thanks for hanging with me friends, the fun has just begun!
