I'm a little late posting this but it was the first time I have had a chance to sit down and write an entry.
I had my suppression u/s & b/w on Thursday morning. My lining was 6 and she said there were a lot of little follicles on each side...basically nothing much going on in there! Which is great - just how we want it!
I had a few questions about some things, especially the Gonal Pen since I have never used it before....the u/s tech told me to just ask at the front desk and they can call and see if someone from my team can come answer a few things for me. I asked the old bag at the desk that if someone was available I would like to ask a few questions and she said "if you want to talk to someone your best bet is to call them". I looked at her and said oh thanks for being so helpful and walked out - Bitch! I was so pissed - but whatever!
I thought for sure they would have me start my shots that night but they didn't. I got the call that the Embryology Department reviewed everything and would like me to lower my Lupron to .5 and start my 225 units of gonal on Sunday night!!!!
I have to say I am very excited! I am trying to control it though cause I don't want to be disappointed...just because she said I have a 50% chance of getting pregnant doesn't mean anything really.

On another note...I went to my first Hot Yoga (Brikam Yoga) class yesterday! WOW - do you sweat! I was drenched by the end...BUT - I burned almost 600 calories in that one class. I couldn't move today but hey - whatever! I am not sure if I like it though...I am going to try it for the next week to see what I think..I think now that I went and know what the positions are I will like it more and more....
I did call my RE to ask if there are any limitations involving exercising at this point - because I started walking/running again. I always worked out a lot before but have fallen out of the loop so I want to make sure I am cool starting all that up again especially with the 225 units I will be pumping into myself starting tomorrow.
Good News - they said everything is fine as long as it is in moderation. Once I get pregnant she said we will need to re-evaluate.
Which brings me to this....what are you all doing out there? I - once pregnant - will only be going walking...I'm too scared to miscarry again even though there is nothing that you do that makes that happen...I don't want to put undo pressure anywhere on my body. I would like to find a regular yoga studio and just continue to walk...Once I actually get pregnant, I will do nothing but take care of my and that growing baby!

I think that is about here for me....Ill keep you all posted...I will say I hope that I am on over achiever like Murgdan - 20 fertilize eggs would solidify me never having to do gonal or go under for years! hahahah

ahhh I just do a light beginner's style yoga class 1-2 days a week, and occasionally go walking. I'm pretty lazy!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this cycle hun... what day are you on? 9?
Good luck!! Of course, we still won't know until tomorrow morning how much of an over-achiever I am....we've had no update in 2 days...I'm so anxious!
ReplyDeletegood luck this cycle, 50% is still great odds:)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it exciting to finally be starting?!! My RE said to stick with walking or yoga, but I've been pretty lazy and haven't done much of either. Good luck with your stims. I'll be watching for updates.

Once you get halfway through stims (and you have lots of follies like you WILL) I would downgrade the yoga a bit. It is possible for those large follies to tangle.
ReplyDeleteEspecially on the sims, you want to take it easy - because of ovary twisting and such. I was told to not get my heartrate above 120, or not break a sweat... as it can interfere with follicle growth. If you're banking so much for the IVF, I figure 2 weeks off of exercise can't hurt. I'd go walking (as in 2-4 miles) in the evenings until it was just too uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!
I was told the same at "I believe in Miracles" to not do anything strenous, keep your heart rate down, and avoid anything jarring. I once ran a marathon, but now am totally out of shape and overweight (and infertile!), so I mostly walk my dog. That's my plan for if I get pregnant.
