Treasure Chest

Everything went well during yesterday's appointment. According to the ultrasound tech my uterus and ovaries look beautiful. She said my ovaries are keeping quiet which means I'm suppressed. I had my blood drawn and then met with the nurse. She looked over my ultrasound results and said I've got a treasure chest of eggs: 27! 15 on one side and 12 on the other. She said it was a great way to start an IVF cycle. She said to continue 10 units of Lupron with something new! I'm adding 10 units of micro HCG. So first I put 10 units of Lupron in the syringe. Then I insert the needle into another bottle and add 10 units of micro HCG. She said the needle will be dull from going in two rubber stoppers. So she gave me some advice: hard and fast! She said it will be less painful. I'll let you know how it goes in the morning. By the way it's actually still Thursday night. When I got home from my appointment I ate lunch and then watched some TV. I was sleepy and my head and foot/lower leg had been hurting all morning. Weird, I know! I'm use to having head aches on all these fertility meds but not foot/lower leg pains. Anyway I fell asleep until 9 PM and when I woke up DH was getting in bed to go to sleep! So now it's 2 AM and I'm wide awake.

Back to my appointment I'm starting Follistim at night: 250 IU. I'm going back in Tuesday for blood work: E2. My nurse said my RE will make decisions on what's next based on the results. I'm getting so excited. I know we've got to make it through a lot: successful ER, transfer, betas, ultrasounds and a PREGNANCY but I'm already having visions of our baby in our home. I can't wait!

Update -- The Lupron/micro HCG hurt this morning! Hopefully it was just a one time thing and it won't hurt again. If not then I'm not looking forward to my morning "wake up" shot. Ouch!
