CD 1 is Here!

Let the shooting up begin!

Is it masochistic to be excited about giving myself some shots?

This is my protocol:
Day 1 - Lupron .2cc
Day 2 - 5 - Lupron .2cc, Gonal F 300IU AM, Gonal F 225IU PM (day 5 reduce Lupron to 0.05cc)
Day 6 - Lupron .05 ccand Gonal F AM, ultrasound, BW, Gonal F dosage may change in the PM
Day 7 - 12 ultrasound, BW, Lupron, Gonal F AM and PM
Day 13 - retrieval
Day 16 - 19 - transfer
February 18th - POSITIVE BETA that will last 40 weeks!

Let's see if my optimism and positive attitude last. I hope it does.

"May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."
- St. Theresa

Yeah for the beginning of shots! I think it is exciting because you are doing something rather than just sitting around waiting for something to happen. The positive attitude will definitely help! Wishing you lots of plump, juicy follicles!

I'm visiting from Murgdan's blog. Good luck with #3! Is this your first cycle with Lupron? I hope you have a better experience with it than I did. Lupron is not my friend. The nursing staff seemed surprised by my side-effects, though, so I take it they aren't that common.
