All Systems Go January 20, 2005
My baseline ultrasound went well this morning, so I’m relieved. My lining was nice and thin and my ovaries showed no signs of pesky cysts. I was pleased to see that I have quite a few more antral follicles than I did last time. The ultrasound was kind of fuzzy today, but it looked like there were at least five antral follicles per ovary. Last time I had four total. Hopefully this is a good sign.
I got my goody bag of donated meds today, so I’m set for the weekend. I wrote a thank you note for my RE’s office to pass along to the person who had donated the drugs, and my IVF coordinator said that no one had ever done that before. I found that surprising. This person generously donated about $1300 of meds. The least I can do is take the time to write them a thank you note.
My second IVFMeds order shipped out last night, so I guess we’ll see if it can make it through customs sometime in the near future. It would be nice not to have to worry about that situation anymore.
I’m in a good mood today despite the Lupron permaheadache. I’m very glad to get the go ahead to start stims tomorrow. Not only will I be glad to be rid of these damn Lupron side effects, but I’m ready to get this sucker over with. I know things will start to move more quickly now, and that’s a very welcome change. Things have been moving in slow motion lately. I’m also interested to see how things will play out with the changes we’re making this cycle (more Gonal-F, adding Repronex, using EmbryoGlue). I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Amanda, I hope you know that it takes about 30 minutes to post a comment on blogspot lately……….finally, I got through to you.
I am so glad that you are feeling better, that your meds are in order and that you are set to go.
Know that I am thinking about you and I care about you.
Take care.
I’m so glad everything looks good and you got at least the donated meds. I’m so impressed you were able to get those! *fingers crossed* that the IVFMeds order gets through ok.. one or the other anyway. AND Congrats on the 10 or more follies! That’s great! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Yay on the good baseline! Glad the Lupron did its job. I am so excited for you this cycle, I feel like good things will happen. I start stims in about two weeks myself, so here’s hoping we will be going through our pregnancies together.
