So baseline u/s went well. Everything is calm and quiet. I was worried about not having a period, but I got to the appt and they said that my lining was thin and that I probably wouldn't have one. LIES. I started bleeding an hour after I left the place. I blame the dildo cam.
Yesterday morning we did the first Menopur shot. I'm kicking myself for not getting more -- I need to get more and I'm worried about it. Anyway, Menopur....OUCH. That stuff stings going in and for like 20 minutes afterwards. Last night I did my first Follistim shot. Dialing that puppy up to 225mg felt scary. My ovaries felt twingy all day and I think they are up for the challenge. I did another Menopur this morning.
Work has also gotten crazy. I'm going into work today to work on an emergency project. I feel like I need to put in as much time as possible at work in the next 8-10 days. I also feel like I need to put everything else on hold, besides IVF. I was supposed to work out this morning and go to book club tonight, and I just don't feel like doing anything. I just want to be on my couch and sleep or be in my fancy new office.
Ugh I'm sorry it burns. I hope time flies by and you'll be done with them before you know it.
ReplyDeleteYou're a few days in, keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the Follistim...I'm on 300iu and everytime I have to double or triple check it. Like, I'm clicking this toooo much this can't be right, LOL.
P.S. I didn't realize you were another Chicagoan...there's quite a few of us out there in bump land :)
Oh the menopur was not my friend! I had huge reactions from it and broke out with hives most nights. It was not fun. I'm glad I didn't have to do that in the morning before work. My protocol had me taking follistim in the morning and menopur at night, so opposite of you.
