Baseline Scan

Friday 15th May
I had my baseline scan done today which basically where the doctor measures the uterus lining and the ovaries to make sure they are ready for stimuation. Everything looked great apparently even though i had 2 left over small cysts on the right ovary. I have come to realise that this is very normal.
Last Wednesday night saw the last birth control pill and i feel so different again since stopping. It really does pack on some extra water retention. Currently i have seen no weight gain, just a little thickening around the hips!!!.
Tomorrow (Monday 18th) i start the stimulation medication.This is the stuff that will make me produce multiple eggs. I have to do 2 injections in the evening into my tummy - Menopur and Follistim. I have to continue with the Lupron as well in the morning but at a lowe dose. MY poor stomach is going to feel like a pin cushion.
My next appointment is the 26th May to check with a scan and more bloods to measure estrogen. It should all be good based on the last few months of stimulating for IUI.
