Ok, the Crin.one I won't inject (although I supposed it is a form of injection, just not with a needle). I misspoke yesterday - it wasn't 8 boxes of Menopur, it was SIXTEEN!!! Above is assuming I stim for about 10-12 days. Last time I stimmed for 15 days, so I would need to refill a bunch of what you see above.
So, to recap:
You make the call!!
Speaking of calls, got my bloodwoork back on those renegade hormones:
Progesterone: 0.5
E2 109
I'm CD22 today -- since I have short cycles and we know my E2 is unfortunately elevated, we're assuming I'm at the end of a cycle. They went ahead an scheduled my SIS (saline sonogram) for next Wednesday, the day I'm back. Which also happens to be my birthday. Nothing says Happpy Birthday like a catheter and some salt water in your nether regions, huh?
I have to pray AF shows up in the next few days so that the SIS can actually be accomplished with the thin lining it so craves. We're always praying for something, huh?
Off to San Fran in the morning! I'm going to try to post from the airplane just so that I could say I did!
That is hands down the BEST meds pic I have ever seen. You have struck the perfect balance between art and terror.
ReplyDeleteHere's to hoping that this is your cycle and that AF actually cooperates.
Love the staircase of doom, er, I mean IVF. That's great.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time in SF!
That was hilarious! They sure do look terrifying all lined up the stairs like that. And I love the meds=kitchen pic :).
ReplyDeleteHave a great time in San Fran!
This is hilarious, as well as intimidating, but I hope you are less scared of it than... well than I am!
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, that is one good looking kitchen.
Have fun in San Fran! Eat well and enjoy the castro tomorrow!
Holy Crap! That's a lot of drugs! I hear you though, I'd rather take the possibility of a bump over that spiffy kitchen any day!!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes...those pics could scare a newbie! LOL! As a graphic designer I am really digging the symmetry you achieved in the photos. Well done!
ReplyDeleteDang, that is a nice looking kitchen. Good thing babies are cute.
ReplyDeleteI know that is a sh*tload of meds, but whenever I see the IVF meds spreads I also think about how that is such a sh*tload of excessive packaging.
OH.MY.GOD.
ReplyDeleteYour meds pic makes my meds pic look like it's just a day of your meds :)
Holy Crap ... that is a lot of Gona.l-F and Meno.pur..
You are so freakin' creative. Lining up those meds on the staircase like that. I love it.
Have fun in San Fran girlie! Sending AFCH vibes your way.
Goodness, girl! That is quite a scary picture indeed. It sort of signals the truth about IF...one step at a time. I'm hoping AF comes soon for you so you can get going. Have a great time in SF!
ReplyDeleteThat is one scary Halloween pic! I thought I was on a lot of meds! What's your protocol? Mine is Menopur 150iu & Follistim (same as GonalF) 450iu/day. I'll be doing Cetrotide instead of Ganerelix, but they are essentially the same too. Looks like we will be cycling together!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this. Just love it. Sorry you have to inject so much : (
