I was supposed to stop my birth control pills on Wednesday, but I took one Thursday night by accident. I had to wait an extra day to start my Lupron. So my bloodwork and ultrasound was this morning. I'm all set to start my Lupron injections tonight. Tomorrow and every day after I will be doing 2 Lupron shots a day. On Monday I will start my stim shots - So I'll be up to 3 shots a day at that point!
The ultrasound tech called me to tell me my estradiol is good - 30.5. I can start my shots tonight without a problem. I asked her about my lining and she said at this point it's too early to tell. I asked her if I should worry at all about it since none our 3 embryos had implanted during IVF #1. She said no. She said that during ER the doctor checks the lining and will prescribe something if she is worried about a patient's lining. She said mine was fine all through my last cycle and it's so hard because we don't know why they didn't implant.
It was nice that she is so understanding. It's hard because I know they know what they are doing, but I still couldn't help but wonder if there was anything else we could do to help our situation.

So glad to hear that you've gotten the go ahead to start your Lupron shots!
Just wanted to wish you sooo much luck on this new cycle, Wendy! Glad you're kickin' it off today with Lupron!
Suzanne - thanks!
Jill - I've been thinking about you...wasn't sure if you were on the nest at all. I haven't seen any of your posts. I hope you're doing okay.
Good luck with getting started, Wendy. I will be right there with you for 3 shots a day (Lupron, Gonal-f/Menopur (mixed), and Lovenox). I am not sure where to inject them all yet to be able to alternate spots on my tummy. Could get interesting.
I think IVF#2 will be the lucky one for us both. (:
Brenda - Here's hoping we're IVF buddies and PG buddies!
Hi, I know you don't know me, but I came across this blog and it made me feel so much better reading it. My husband and I are going through our 1st IVF cycle in July. It helped me to read your blog and others you are linked to, so thank you. Good luck on your cycle!
chelle - I'm glad that it helped to read my blog. I know how hard going through IVF is - I felt better after reading other blogs, too. I'm here if you ever have any questions that I can help you with. :)
