I would first like to apologize to the very few people who do read my blog for being a slack blogger. I was HOPING that my new laptop would have arrived by now so I would be posting daily. But it has not arrived, no surprise I seem to have a package omen! Well to start I would like to tell everyone where I am at currently in this infertility journey, I have been on Lupron forever so it seems. I went to the RE Saturday am for an ultrasound and bloodwork to see if I could start my stim medications. My ultrasound was great my RE said that my ovaries looked like that of an egg donor. That may be a future option to pay off my current infertility debts. Or maybe not, me and Lupron dont have the best of relationships. Well anyway the bloodwork said that my estrogen levels were still to high, I figured this may be due to AF not arriving yet. So today we went back to the RE for another round of bloodwork, and for my husband to make a deposit to be frozen just in case. Bloodwork is A OK, so we are full speed ahead in to the land of stimulation! Oh and I forgot my Dr. put me on Glucophage because I have so many follicles, something to do with them bunching together and diabetes medicine was supposed to help??? Not really sure, so I just take them and smile! So I put off my injections until the last possible second because the Lupron makes me feel like crap but tonight I was excited about the new drugs so I took them earlier than usually. I am still taking 10 units of Lupron they think that I may be one of those OHSS people so I have to continue the regular does I guess this is supposed to help prevent this problem, I am taking 15 units of low dose hcg that burns going in ouch, and 225 units or 3 vials of Follistim, that sure is way more to inject and that hurts too, started taking antibiotics 2x a day, glucophage, and a prenatal vitamins. I sure hope I remember all of this. I go back Friday am for another ultrasound and bloodwork. I will post any yucky side effects I am sure they will come everything else has had one!!!!
I would also like to mention I am so excited to have someone post on my blog besides my good friend "S" of course. Fellow blog/infertility friend I cant wait to hear from you again, let me know if you have a blog I would love to know how things are going for you! I am thinking positive thoughts for both of us!
Gotta go cook supper, its been fun!

Hi! Fellow IF friend signing in...
Thanks so much for the very nice feedback, and now that I can breathe a sigh of relief that you don't think I'm a stalker, I will happily post again. :)
I just started the Lupron two days ago and am counting down the days in excitement until that first bloodwork/ultrasound so I can (hopefully) start the stims soon, too.
I don't have a blog (mostly because I don't think anyone would be interested in reading it!) but would love to email directly. If it's ok with you, I'll contact you that way.
It sounds like things are moving forward quickly, and again, my fingers are crossed for you - let's hear it for no OHSS. You've got enough to deal with, right?!
Your new friend,
Christi
