ivf cycle day three

So far so good. We did the first round of IVF meds last night. 


375 units of Bravelle
150 units of Menopur
81 mgs of Asprin
16 mgs of Medrol


We've had lots of practice mixing and injecting the last 6 months while ML was trying the FSH therapy. I helped him mix it all up and then he gave me the injections. We could only mix 4 vials per injection, so it was 4 vials of Bravelle in one injection and 2 vials of Menopur plus 1 vial of Bravelle in the second injection. They stung a little as he pushed the meds in, and there was a little drop of blood at the injection site. I can totally do this. I totally did this.


I slept well last night and woke up feeling good this morning. So far so good!


Then Bestie surprised us with yummy chicken enchilada's for dinner tonight. She is so sweet and loving!

Quick reminder about my first blog giveaway -  I love comments, and will especially love your sweet words during this ivf cycle. So every comment I receive between now and my beta will count as an entry. Poems and other inspiring encouraging quotes will count as two entries. When I get my beta the first week of April I'll announce the winner of the giveaway. The winner will tell me which Bloomtastic bracelet they love and it will magically appear in their mailbox a short time later.

You CAN do this! Glad the injections went well. I'm a needle wimp, so anyone doing the IVF level injections has my admiration.
Any symptoms from the meds?

So exciting! And before long, the injections will seem like you've been doing them forever, and when you get to stop, you'll wonder why you ever worried about them! I am so excited for you...it's going to be fantastic, and in 10 months or so, you'll be bringing home your own little bean :) HUGS. Love ya, sweetie.

I'm about a week behind you in IVF. I'm just waiting for AF right now and I *think* injections will start early next week. It's good to hear that the injections aren't as scary as I'm thinking they'll be!
