Here we go again. Sometimes, I can't even believe that we are doing IVF/ICSI for a third time. I was so confident during our first cycle that one try was all it would take. Boy, did God have a different plan for me! Here we are, January 2012, starting our 3rd cycle.
Give me strength, oh Lord, to make it through this!
And please, please bless us with a healthy baby at the end!!!
Shots started yesterday with 20 IU of Lupron in the morning and evening. 7:00 is usually my time and has worked well in my schedule, so I'm sticking with it (Ha-ha! "Sticking" with it!) this time, too. (Humor is a MUST during IVF!!!) So far I've done 3 Lupron shots and will start 300 IU of Follistim and 75 IU of Menopur, along with another Lupron, tonight. This is the same protocol as November 2010, so I do Lupron in the tops of my legs and the other two in my abdomen. It helps keep my stomach from feeling like a pincushion!
I get so nervous with the Follistim and Menopur--they have to be so perfect. I've already watched videos on them once today, and I'm sure I will again before 7:00. Talk about checking and double checking!!! These are shots you don't want to mess up! Wish me luck!
