• MS/IVF Cycle day ONE....Stimms start tonight

  Tonight I will add Menopur and Gonal-f to my drugged up tummy. I have reduced the lupron to 5 units this morning. I'm glad becuase I'm hoping the lupron side effects will lessen. But then there could be some new ones from the stims. who knows! This cycle seems to be flying by. Posted Jul 28 2005, 07:53 AM by GoodGolly with no comments

• First Monitoring

  Well I had my first monitoring this morning. The re said I had 9 resting follicles on the right and 10 on the left. The left side showed a small cyst. I can't remember the name of it but he said it is common and is one that shows right before your period then hopefully disolves. I hope this doesn't put a wrench in my cycle! I will be speaking to my nurse @ 4 pm to see what the blood work showed and what they say about that cyst. The re didn't really make a big deal about it. Perhaps because they are only monitoring me? Any body know anything about cysts? Hopefully I can go on as planned (supposed to start stims tomorrow). Or possibly they will have me on Lupron a few days longer before stims to see if it disolves. I will update when I know more after 4pm. Well estrogen is 21 and the cyst I'm told is nothing to worry about. I can't believe my ms/ivf cycle day one starts tomorrow!!!

• Lupron is making me @*% CRAZY!

  I feel like I am going crazy. And it wasnt until I read on the IVF board that this is a common side effect of lupron. I actually thought I was insane. Lupron has made me anxious, bitchy, bloated, having insomnia, oh and the crazy dreams. Last night I watch this show called "Dr. 90210". It's a reality show following plastic surgeons. When I went to bed I dreamt one of those plastic surgeons was doing my egg retrieval. He said "don't you worry miss molly I'm going to give you a tight little tummy too!" I woke up with a smile on my face and a chuckle from my husband when I told him about my dream. Posted Jul 21 2005, 07:54 AM by GoodGolly with no comments

• Lupron, z-pack,BA

  OMG. Here we go. I started the Lupron, z-pack, and BA. The Lupron shots are nothing. It is a tiny amount of meds. And the needle is tiny! I will continue bcp until Friday. Posted Jul 18 2005, 07:56 AM by GoodGolly with no comments

• BCP started...ordering meds

  Today I ordered my meds from MDR for the big cycle. The total bill was $2057.68. Unfortunately my insurance does not cover any of this. But fortunately my girlfriends on the board donated some of their unused meds to me (gonal-f). We actually only ended up paying a little over $500. Things work out in mysterous ways.

• Accupunture too?

  Ok so I have also been reading into the whole accupunture being good for IVF. So what the heck I will throw that into my regimin too. My first time ever! It kind of hurts! I mean my chi hurts or something! Well if it helps I will do it. I have set up weekly appts. I have also added massages every other week too. I do need to relax this stuff is stressing me out!

• Must redo the labs!

  I'm glad I re-checked all of the IVF paper work I was sent. There were two lab slips that I missed the first few time I went through them. We have to have our infect. dis. tests done again because they expired from our last iui's. Sheesh glad I found them now and not in the middle of my cycle. Note to self: check paper work more than 3 times! Posted Jul 07 2005, 06:58 AM by GoodGolly with no comments
