AF arrived yesterday so I was told to come in today for my baseline blood work (fsh, e2, etc). Since I just had an ultrasound on Monday the doctor said it wasn't necessary to do another one (she had previously done my AFC...antral follicle count). I was in and out in 5 mins. The whole day, though, I sat wondering what could go wrong to stop my cycle from happening. I had this fear that I would be all psyched up to do my injectables cycle and it would be cancelled for some stupid reason.
Fears subsided when the nurse called and said everything is a-go and to start injection tonight! Eeek! So, tonight I will do a 50iu Follistim injection. I will do 50iu every night unless otherwise told. Doctor could up the dosage as my cycle progresses if need be. First ultrasound and blood work to check on everything is Sunday morning.
Oh also, after the nurse called me today to confirm everything the doctor even called me to make sure I had no further questions. I really love her. She knows I am curious about my blood results and had them ready for me when we talked. FSH still came in high this month at 15. Kind of a bummer but we know that my egg quantity and quality is diminishing so it's not too surprising. E2 was 40 which is actually quite low for me which I am super happy about. We chatted a bit more about the cycle and she said that she will be following me throughout everything and not to hesitate to call or email her.
So, its officially starting. My last chance at having a baby before we make some huge changes...mainly things like new employment or selling off everything we have to afford IVF. If this doesn't work I have no idea if/when we will be able to try again. So please please please keep us in your thoughts and prayers or send us any good juju you have. We need it all.
As of 7:30 my first dose is DONE. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Let's do this!!
