IVF: Here we go

[jenn_unplugged]

Yikes, I haven't updated this in a while. I've been traveling for basically the last two months, and it just kept slipping my mind. I have a lot of vacation photos to put up, but for now I'll start with this.

I went in for a sonogram this morning to make sure there weren't any cysts on my ovaries, and it was all clear, which means we can go forward with this IVF cycle! I came home and gave myself my first Lupron injection. I'll do those every morning for pretty much the next three weeks. I have another sonogram next Friday and if that one shows it's all looking good, I'll start Gonal-F injections in the evenings. Those will go at least ten days, which puts the earliest date for the egg retrieval around June 28 and so embryo transfer will probably be the first week of July.

So wow, it's really going to happen! :-D

Can you believe it was a year ago we met you? Our NJ daughter and son-in-law's company have made two drops for the Mary Poppins background at tomorrow night's Tony's. Think of us all if you watch on TV, too. We'll be thinking of you.

Good luck! Happy to hear you are cyst free and on your way!

I was SO relieved not to have any cysts. It hadn't occurred to me that could even be a problem until it happened the last time!

Woohoo!!! Congrats on the good start, and good luck! Boy, the first week of July will be here before you know it, too! :)
