This is me on night one (Sunday) of stims...I had no idea how to use the gonal-f pen as I have always mixed me own cocktails! Who knew drugs could be soo easy!! Don't I look excited! haha - well see how long that lasts!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last night was day 2 on 225 units of gonal. I have my first appointment to check my follies on Thursday morning...very exciting! I am feeling soo much better since off the pill and AF came and went. Its amazing how crappy I feel on the pill. I felt so fat and miserable and now I feel like my old self...Lets see how long that lasts. I gave myself a nice, nasty bruise on my right thigh last night from my shots! Yuck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wanted everyone to know "Thank You" for your advice with the exercising....I did call the doctor and they told me I was fine to go whatever I want while on stims...but I have decided that I am not sure Hot Yoga is for me. I am going to try regular yoga this week - I think that is more of what I want, something more relaxing. I am still walking at least 3 times a week...that has made me feel better too! So....as of now, I am still going to do some form of exercise and will do so until its uncomfortable. Thank you everyone for worrying about me and giving me the advice, I appreciate it and will make sure that I am always careful!

Yahoo!!! Looking pretty fabulous there gettin' your stims on... :o)
ReplyDeletesorry about the bruise - :o(
I think you'll like regular yoga btw. Also, if you keep up with it you'll see some great benefits throughout your pregnancy and for labor too.
(Don't you like how that sounds???? your pregnancy?!)
Good luck with everything, you do look so excited about it:)
ReplyDeleteLove the picture! You are so cute! Glad the stims are going well.
ReplyDeleteAlso Love the pic!! SO excited for you.. can't wait to hear how your appt. goes on Thursday!!!
ReplyDeleteAnswer to your question- I did a one time dose of "Cetrotide 3mg" injection (to prevent premature ovulation).
ReplyDeleteMy "IVF Protocol" is a little different than most people "I think".. Partly because we will be working with (fewer eggs).. Because I will not allow discarding of our Live embyro's not matter what.. and even if I do have enough to freeze I'll keep coming back until every last one of them are used and got a chance at life:)
So I'll be happy with just 6 good eggs:)
you are beautiful! good luck with everything
ReplyDeleteGlad the stims are going well. I'll be going in for a check Thursday, too. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYou do look super excited! Good luck! I'm cheering you on...
ReplyDeleteSorry you have a bruise but awsome that you started stims. I still think its so weird that to start out your IVF you have to take BCP. Kinda ironic but hey whatever gets you knocked up is ok in my book. GOOD LUCK!!
ReplyDeleteHope your stim check went well today :)
