Shit just got real

Here it is, in all its glory! Started stims on Monday for IVF, this is the rest of what I'll need.

DS was a bit disappointed that the box wasn't for him.

Oh my gosh, that's a lot! How often will you have to go see the RE during the process?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that this is it!

I started stims on Monday after monitoring and also had an appt today. I go back on Sunday and Monday and we'll see from there. Right now I'm just taking gonal-f and Menopur.

But yeah, clearly we knew what we were doing, but seeing all of that in one place really makes it real. That's a ton of injections still left to do.

That is a lot! Sending you good thoughts!

Sending good thoughts!

Good luck! It looks like a lot until you start taking them and blow through everything. I hope this cycle works for yoU!

Thanks, ladies!

Good luck!! May I ask - why do you take both Lupron and Ganirelix?

Edited - Lupron trigger? Just noticed the dosage. I did the antagonist protocol and it was so short relative to the other ones. I hope all goes well.

fun, fun. I remember being excited when my meds came- both b/c I was ready to get the process started and I was glad it didn't get lost in the mail and cause further aggravation. good luck.

Oh my gosh...exciting! It looks like a lot but it will be over before you know it. I can't wait to hear how it's going for you.

i'm very excited and hopeful for you ginkgoleaf !! please keep us updated. will you be posting updates mostly here on SIF?

Probably?  I'll likely post a bit on here, TTTC, and maybe WC and GP... I get around, lol.  I go tomorrow morning for another monitoring appointment, so I'm hoping to have more and bigger follicles then.  They upped my Gonal after they said I had low estrogen at my last appointment.

How have you been feeling?  I'm so glad that your last appointment went well!

Yeah I think it's Lupron trigger.  I just ordered what they told me to, honestly.  It's hard to keep what everything is for straight.  I have no idea what protocol I'm doing, but from what I read, I think it's antagonist?
