My last shots for this cycle

This is the last set of medications for this Ivf cycle. They told me to do 20 units of Lupron and 75 of Gonal F. Good thing I kept 2 900 and 1 300 pens since they always have a little bit of meds leftover. I think I have 150 left before breaking the remaining 900 open.
Trigger shoot will be at 11:00tonight. 2 days earlier than originally planned.

I packed all meds away. Not throwing them away but keeping them just in case there might be another cycle.I am not brave enough to get rid of them and to believe that everything will be good this time.

I am hoping for at least 1-2 normals after CSS testing.

Trigger 4 days early???

I had an interesting US result today. Two follicles are way big and I am waiting to see if I need to trigger even today.
I was supposed to have ER on Wednesday and now they talk about as early as Sunday or even Saturday. That's 4 days early! Last time they extended it.
I am confused and actually was hoping for more steady growth and more follicles.
These are the measurements Left: 21/20/11/11/9/7 and right: 14/9/4. Just waiting for their call...

This is only day 10 of my cycle and day 8 of Lupron. The nurse said that 8 days of stimulation would be the minimum.

I don't feel ready yet, but when are you really ready for this?

Also watching the weather news on TV and wondering what this will do to my husband's travel plan. I just moved his flight from Saturday afternoon to Friday 6 am. Looks like it is better to fly in the morning than afternoon due to the storm warnings. And we cannot afford him to get stuck while I am going to ER. This cycle is definitely not boring.

5/20 Confusing US result and flight to Denver

I am flying today. Actually a day earlier than what the protocol says but I did not want to change the flight and pay $150 plus the additional fare to move it by one day. I got the original one way ticket for $90

I sure could have used one more day at home as things were very hectic

I had my second US this morning and not sure if it was the nurse that bothered me. I felt very rushed and she did not really listen to my questions. So I had
9 total.
Right o. had 1 measured 12mm +2 not measured
left 3 14/12/9 mm +3 not measured.

I am also worried that the 13/14mm is too large already...

On the other hand my E looked really good. My nurse called and said it is in the 900s which is a good indication for "strong" follicles

5/13 Day 1

Finally day 1 is here and I can get started. It is a day later than planned and also they extended my priming cycle by 5 days to a total of 30 which I needed in order to align our travel with Memorial day weekend.

I will take my first meds in 2 days.

5/14 Off to a better start

I had my first US and blood draw at e local clinic in Seattle. They saw 4 resting follicles on each side.
I am glad that both sides are kind of balanced as last time the right side was dominant and the left side only had 2.

IVF Round 2

I am picking up the blog again. I was trying to leave my disappointment for IVF #1 behind.

I have some of the medication at home which I ordered from Braun.
This time am on protocol 6 with testosterone priming plus Saizen again.

I am currently in my priming cycle and expect to start the new cycle on 4/12.
I booked my flight and hotel for 8 nights today via Expedia. Looks like hotels are filling up for memorial day weekend.

Side effects are minimal so far. Dry mouth and thirsty all the time and some digestion issues with all the meds and vitamins.

Thats my summary for today and will post my protocol.
