Day 29: Green Light

We got the news this afternoon that my ultrasound and blood work look good and we got the official GREEN LIGHT to proceed to stimulation. YAY! Now we're officially in to our IVF cycle!! Mature follicles. Fertilized eggs. Good quality embryos. Positive pregnancy test. And baby, here we come!

We'll spend the next 8-12 days stimulating my ovaries with the goal of creating a handful of good quality eggs. We'll need to rely on the expertise of our doctor to help us find the right balance between quality and quantity.

Tomorrow our routine will transition to a total of 3 shots per day for me plus the continuation of the low dose aspirin and the prenatal vitamins. They're starting me off on 150 units of Follistim 2x per day, plus a continuation of the Lupron at a reduced dose of 5 units.

The husband has been put on antibiotics for the next 10 days to ward against infection so he's joined me in the drug use.

I am so excited to be finally, finally at the starting line. Here we go!!
