Stims, Stims, and more Stims!

Today was the first day of stims (of many more to come), but it wasn't too bad. C will give me one dose of Gonal-F in the morning and another in the evening in addition to a shot of Menopur. Fun stuff! It really isn't bad though. I can feel my ovaries burning a little. I hope that means lots of follies are growing!

Today's goal:
Drink 2 liters of water
Cardio - 1 hour

CD 1...IVF #2

I really hope that this cycle works! I really don't have a lot of expectations for an outcome either way. The plan is to follow the protocol and live as normal as possible before and after the transfer. During cycle one, I barely moved after the embryo transfer!

Here is how the cycle is panning out:

4/15: CD 1 (nothing but prenatals and baby aspirin)
4/16-4/19: Start Stims (Gonal-F, Menopur)morning/evening
4/19: Go into RE's office for blood work and U/S...see how many follies are growing!

Dates looking forward:
4/28: Estimated egg retrieval
5/1-5/3: Estimated egg transfer

We'll I'm heading to bed...getting my butt out of bed in the AM for some much needed cardio!

We're back!

The fam had a great vacation. I had a wonderful time, but I was glad to get back. That is until I went to work today.
