One week down one to go

So this week was stimulation week. 2 More drugs added to the mix, Menopur and Follistim.

I had used the follistim before during our IUI procedures so knew how to use the loaded pen but the Menopur required mixing every night and drawing up into a syringe!

No real problems this week and although the trousers have no gotten a bit tight around the belly i think i am doing good. I had one hiccup on the first night where I used the wrong needle. I was quite nervous and remembered the nurse saying use the grey needle. I used a grey needle but then was convinced it was wrong. I turned the box upside down and there at the bottom hidden among the syringes was 5 LIGHT grey needles - whoops!!!.. No harm done, no pain caused only a little bruise.

As you can see from the picture there is a BIG difference

There is grey and then there is light grey :-) The follistim Pen - this one is easy!

Last night the dose of the Follistim doubled. Today i feel achy so hopefully my follicles are growing.

Tuesday is ultrasound day and we will get to see how the follies are doing. I will also get Estrogen levels checked. They do this again on Wednesday and then hopefully Friday will be egg retrieval day.
