Started Stims today

This morning I went in for my baseline ultrasound and E2. One of the nurses was nice enough to administer my follistim for me (DH normally does all my injections). It feels really good to get into the real meat of this process now. Dr. Vu believes we might break 30 on the number of eggs at retrieval. I know they will not all be mature and not all of them will fertilize. However, if we can get a third of those to divide properly, I would be thrilled. We would have two put back in and freeze the other eight, with the hope that four would survive the next defrost.

BTW, looooooooove the follistim needles. I didn't even know anything went in. Freakin' awesome.

Off and running

Hysteroscopy was freakin' awesome! Nothing like my HSG at all. There were a few times where I was uncomfortable, but being able to see my uterus on the television and listening to Dr. Vu explain the anatomy to me made it hard to focus on the discomfort. Everything looks great in there.

The internal ultrasound was awesome because my RE was quite excited...there are at least 13-15 follicles in each ovary!! Woo hoo!

After all of this, we received our protocol. Here is it what I'm currently pricing:

Leuprolide 2.8 ml 2 week kit
Follistim AQ 75 ml vial
Follistim 600iu pen
Follistim 900 iu pen (2 of them!)
Ovidrel 250 mcg
Menopur 75 iu vial (15 of them, freakin yikes!!!)

We received our schedule too. I start Lupron on July 6th, stims on July 16th, ER on July 28th and ET on August 2nd.

Oh, and BTW I AM SO FREAKIN' EXCITED!!!!
