ER Done!

My DH and I woke up at the crack of dawn and went to the clinic. Strangely, I felt calm. My IVF nurse was there, which was awesome. Dr. S came in, gave me something to sleep and the next thing I knew, I was in the recovery room. Before we left, Dr. S told us they six eggs out of the 10 I triggered with. We came home and had a nap for a few hours. I'm a little sore so, I'm taking it easy for the rest of the night. Can't wait to hear about fert report tomorrow!

Triggering tonight...

So, I had my last follie check today. Not sure about the numbers but it looks like I'm going to have 7 mature follies at ER on Wednesday. My lining wasn't as thick as I wanted and I'm hoping it will be nice and thick by ET next Monday. Of course, I haven't been able to think about anything other than IVF for the last few days. I'm nervous, scared, excited, hopeful and doubtful - it is bizarre to feel all these emotions at the same time. Tonight, I'm going to try to relax and enjoy a movie with my hubby. Please, please, please let this be my sticky BFP!

Long time, no write

Since my last post, a lot has changed. Due to an out-of-town business trip, we cancelled our IVF cycle. My husband would have been out of town right around the time of my ER and although we could have opted to freeze his swimmers, I didn't want to go through this process alone. To be honest, I wasn't all that disappointed; IVF still scares the shit out of me and of course, my fear of another loss is still there.

Fast forward to this cycle. I went in for CD 3 baseline last Thursday and everything looked good. I started 300 iu of Puregon and I'm down to 0.5 ml of Lupron. I went in for a follie check on Monday and my follies weren't doing much. I started 375 on Puregon last night, still on Lupron and going for my next follie check on Friday. I can't believe I stab myself in the morning with Lupron and stab myself at night with Puregon; I feel like an addict.

In other news, I'm finishing up the last of my final papers and writing a final exam in two weeks. This is my semester of my program and I'm graduating in the fall. I can't believe it!! Seriously, what am I going to do with all the free time I'll have??? Maybe resume baking classes? Read more books? Exercise more? Perhaps I can spend more time preparing for a baby...dare to dream!
