Not much going on today. Still really nervous about tomorrow's appt., to see if my E2 level has gone up and how many follies are growing in there!! But luckily Cory will be there with me, so if I get bad news he will be there to support me. Tonight I am going to Minneapolis to meet up with some of the gals for a happy hour, and boy is it good timing, I really need their support right now! I am feeling more optimistic about all this though after doing some research on the internet, it seems that ...

Ugh, what a day. Cory and I went to my u/s and b/w appt. this morning, the u/s didn't look great but it still looked okay, they found 1 at 10 on the right with 7 small ones, and 6 small ones on the left, so I left the appt. feeling a little bit better. Then at about 12:30 my cell phone rings, it is Dr. Erickson. I thought, well if she is calling herself than the news can't be good, turns out I was right. She is worried about me responding so slowly. My E2 went up to 197 today. At least it ...

Well, not much to report today as of yet. Busy day at work, I was out yesterday and Mondays are always my busiest day of the week, so lots to catch up on today. Cory is going to go with me to my u/s appt. tomorrow. I think that is good, I may need his support!! We also need to ask the RN if he is giving me the Repronex shots correctly. Everytime he gives me the shot the injection site bleeds, so I'm worried that I am losing a lot of the Repronex in the bleeding. We also need to refill the ...

Well, I just got the call from the RE's office with my E2 level and it is only at 57, so my RE is upping my Follistim dosage to 375, starting tonight. I'm trying to hard to not freak out about this, I mean I responded so well to the Follistim when I was taking it for my IUIs, and I was only on 150 then, so I'm really hoping that by upping my dosage will bring my E2 level up. I'm so worried now about my first u/s on Wednesday, what if there aren't any eggies in there? I was hoping to produce lots ...

Well, we made it to the first day of stims!! The Repronex shot every morning is going to suck!! It wasn't too terribly bad, not as bad as I thought it was going to be at least, but I'm sure doing one of those bad boys every morning for the next 10 days or so isn't going to be much fun. The other two shots are a breeze, the Lupron I am so used to and the Follistim pen I know I can handle from my 3 cycles of IUIs with that. But, if I can't handle the Repronext than I am certainly not going to ...

Well, this morning was my last morning of 1 measly shot a day, tomorrow we start with the stims, 2 shots in the AM (one given by Cory) and 1 shot in the PM. Hopefully all will go smoothly. The only one I am worried about is the one that Cory has to give me. I need to go home tonight and figure out how to mix the medication and which needle to use, etc...tomorrow morning should be very interesting indeed!! The insurance adjuster came over this morning and looked at our roof. He said our roof ...

Well, not a whole lot to report of today. Went down to 5 of Lupron today and will be at that dose every morning until my HCG shot. Had a pretty uneventful night last night, made a nice dinner, watched some tv, pretty boring. Char is back in the office today, she has been out since early last week, her father passed away. So far it is only her and I in the office today. This summer has been pretty slow work wise. Kind of hoping it stays that way for the next few weeks so if I need to leave ...

Well, I had my Day 10 Lupron appt this morning for an u/s and b/w. All went well, everything looked as it should, so I'm feeling better about things now. I will be starting my stims on Friday, I'm excited, scared, nervous, a little of everything. Hopefully all the shots will be a breeze. I know the follistim will be, but the Repronex will be new for me and I've read that it can sting a bit, so the first shot should be fun! I'm not sure if Cory has to give me that one or not. So, starting Friday ...

Wow, I can't believe that I will be starting my stims on Friday (hopefully!!). I have an u/s and b/w tomorrow morning and I'm so worried that something is going to come up that is going to cause them to cancel my cycle or something. Man, if I didn't have something to worry about I would be lost!! So, once I clear tomorrow's appt. I will be feeling much better. So, once next week gets here things will really start moving along. Luckily Cory doesn't have any ball games this weekend so I'm hoping ...

Well, not much going on today. I'm leaving work early today, Al is coming over to the house at 2:00 to talk to Cory and I about the work we want to get done. Then hopefully he'll come back sometime next week with samples so we can actually get started on some of this stuff. I need to call the insurance adjuster and have him come out to the house and see if we can get the roof covered under our insurance. I'm feeling like crap today, I really think it is from the Lupron. My head is just achy ...
