Sorry it's been a while since I updated. This is actually the longest Ive ever gone without blogging. Im going through withdrawl. lol. Nick and I were real busy with Christmas going on. We went up to his parents and had a wonderful time. We were opening presents for over an hour continuosly. It was so much fun. I ended up getting a lot of scrapbook things from his family and him and I am so happy about that. And got some new summer clothing, a blender and lots of small things. We all made out pretty good this year.
We were able to pick up my Lupron injections yesterday on the way home from PA. I cant wait to start taking it. I actually had a dream last night that I was giving myself the injection. Funny.
Nothing really going on here to report. We are taking our tree down today and are going to start getting the house ready to be packed up. I wont be home after the 15th and this week is our only time off together before that happens so we have to do it this week/weekend.
Im sorry this post is so boring. I assure you, the boredom will end soon and life will be busy and full of things to tell you about.
I want to make a shout out to Meg and Kris who just had their first ultrasound after their IVF, and who saw their babIES for the first time. A wonderful sight of Baby A AND Baby B! Im so over the moon thrilled for them and I hope to be just as blessed soon! Congrats mommies! I cant wait for Tracey's ultrasound next!
Oh by the way...Here is a picture of all my lupron. When I start taking them I will start making video diaries. But for now here is a picture. I have 2 boxes, each box good for 14 days. In this picture you are only seeing contents of 1 box. For those of you who arent familair with IVF, in the picture you can see the boxes it all comes in, and the red packs are the alcohol swabs to clean the injection site. The small bottle in between the boxes is the actual lupron. This small bottle will last for 14 injections. Then you see the syringes and needles and an instruction manual. Fun stuff. It all starts on January 4th. My BC pills Im still on, and they last until Jan. 9th. I went to IVFMEDS.COM to see how much this Lupron costs, and I think this picture is about $500 in meds. Good Lord....please give me twins. 2 for the price of one!
Now, what is Lupron for exactly? Well, it is used for many things in the medical field but in IVF it is used to stop the ovaries from ovulating and no longer produce estrogen in women. This will help build up my eggs for when I start the stimulating medications to make lots and lots of eggs.

Its good to have you back :D I was missing reading your blog, I hope this week goes smoothly for you.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who had really bad endo and she tried Lupron for a while to see if it would help that. It put her into a false menopause state (and made her a bit moody which I now understand). For her it also didn't work but for the IVF thing I think it works pretty well. Good luck with all the packing etc.
ReplyDeleteThank God! I was about to send out a search party. :) Just kidding. You'd better get 2 out of all this...maybe 3...maybe 4...heck why not 10? Be sure to keep this photo to use as leverage when the kid(s) are teenagers. :)
