Last night I started my other medications; I've been taking Lupron for about a week now. I started Menopur (I used this my first IVF cycle) and Gonal something. Super fun, three shots each night. ;) I think it helps that I can put this in perspective -- I've been through child birth. I can probably handle a few shots here and there. It feels much more "meh" thing go round, to be honest. Perhaps it's because I know the struggle isn't in the stimulation process, but in the transfer process... or because I am actively chasing a three-year-old around wondering how the hell I will keep up with an infant if my whole body sounds like Rice Krispies when I stand up after we play on the floor. We'll see, I guess. One day at a time and all that jazz, right?
I continue on this path until Monday morning when I go back for ultrasound & blood work so we can see how things are going. Friday's tests showed that I had like 20 something follicles on each ovary (which is a LOT) and I am now considered at-risk for ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (not great). Like I said, "meh."
I'll worry when the time comes and until then, my sharps container is rapidly filling and it's rather tricky to keep a very curious preschooler out of the room while giving myself the injections. I love a good challenge ;)
