It's Injection Time!! and Decisions, Decisions.....

YAY!! I started injections on Saturday!! I take 2 Menopur ampules and 4 Bravelle in the morning for 4 days and then I drop the Menopur and just do Bravelle on the 5th day until they give me other instructions :)....

On Tuesday I had my "Okay for surgery" appt (TransVaginal Oocyte Retrieval TVOR surgery) with my regular Dr. She thought my thyroid felt large, so we had it tested and it came back at 1.95 (anything under 2.5 is okay w/my clinic)...so all is good there, but to be sure, I've scheduled an ultrasound of my thyroid for Tuesday, to make sure nothing is growing around it. As if I don't have enough going on?

Monday - Bloodwork
Tuesday - Thyroid U/S
Wednesday - Bloodwork and Follicle U/S

Then they will tell me at that appt when I have to come in next :)

Last Wednesday I had my baseline bloodwork and ultrasound and had 6 antral follicles, which isn't stellar...but I had that last time and I managed to squeak out 11 eggies at retrieval...so hoping I can match or do better than that.

They have changed my protocol a little from last time. When I have to do the three nightly Ganirelix shots, they will also have me take a ampule of Menopur with it, the Ganirelix prevents you from ovulating early and can slow down follicle growth..the Menopur will boost the follicles so that they might grow just a little bit more mature. I'm down with that :)

Hoping this cycle is going to be IT.

The Dr. (since we have had two failed cycles - April m/c 8w and FET August that was a chemical pregnancy) We can opt to transfer 3 embryos on a day 3 transfer or 2 embryos on a day 5 transfer. I've only ever had a d3 txfer, so we have some decisions to make. I'm okay with twins, I'm terrified of triplets....what to do...what to do. The chance of triplets is 1%...but I would probably be the 1% the way weird things happen to me! In the past I've always transferred 2 and only gotten pg with a singleton..but you never know! Decisions, Decisions...
