Oodles and oodles of drugs, oh my!

I woke up with a sore throat and a fever this morning, so I stayed home from work. Unfortunately I still had to drive nearly there and back anyway to pick up the shipment of IVF drugs from the FedEx location I'd had them shipped to - ironically, to be convenient to pick up from work.

After downing two cups of lemon tea with honey and two bowls of soup, the pooch and I took a drive. She was such good company. I swear, there is almost nothing as comforting as my dog by my side.

So, this is what I picked up:

I am doing an antagonist protocol. I start with Gonal-F, Menopur, and Femara for the first five days. After that I continue with the Gonal-F and Menopur, adjusting the dose as needed based on my monitoring visits.

My last BCP was Sunday night. Monday morning I had my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork. My nurse called in the afternoon to tell me that everything looked ok and that I can start the stims on Friday as scheduled.

I am excited and nervous. Especially nervous about the PIO injections that J will have to give me. But that is several days down the road. For now, I just need to focus on the first injection, which shouldn't be too bad. One thing at a time.
