Nothing huge to report, but I did get my estradiol checked on Monday and it's satisfying low, so I was able to start estradiol valerate injections last night (I do them Tuesday/Friday nights, this week and next). And I'm all done with Lupron - yay!
Figuring out my packing list for meds and needles, since I leave on Saturday for my vacation in Mexico - I think half my bag is going to be IVF-related. My sister in law has kindly agreed to do my IM shots.
As I've mentioned, I'm largely off twitter these days, since I'm on such a long path for IVF #5. But I hopped on yesterday and was devastated to hear of the sad news @LeLesMe and @MaternalTurtle are dealing with. Love and hugs to both of them.
My husband and I started trying to have a baby in 2007. We ended up doing 5 rounds of IVF with our own eggs, miscarrying twice due to chromosomal abnormalities, and then moved to donor eggs. Our son was born in 2012. After two unexplained miscarriages trying for a sibling, we found a gestational surrogate, who carried our second son (2015) and our daughter (2018).
Glad to hear you're moving forward! Have fun in Mexico!!! Ah yes, traveling with the bag o' meds - good times...

ReplyDeleteI too am braving IVF. Recently I have turned to blogs for the support I am lacking IRL. I'm the lone infertile among friends and family. I am writing to you because I recently came across your blog and we have lots in common:) I have had 3 miscarriages, 4 IVF cyles and I am doing PGD with cycle 5 at the end of summer...oh, and I live in Las Vegas. I do not go to the Sher institute but I have always heard wonderful things! Good luck to you! I have 20 vials of 75 iu Luveris I planned on donating and wanted to know if you are interested. It's completely sealed, individually wrapped, the experation is 10/2011. I don't need it and it will break my heart for it to go to waste. I will even pay for shipping:)Let me know if you are interested. My email address is stephwebster72@yahoo.com
