WooHoo!!!

Tomorrow is treatment day 1! Baseline scan & lab #2 went well and everything looks good. I have 25 follicles in the right ovary and 35 follicles in the left ovary, for a total of 60 follicles! Because there are so many waiting to mature, they have already lowered my dose of follistim to 150 units instead of the original 200 units that were planned. I will be adding this shot to the Lupron shots I am currently on, but the Lupron will be lowered to 5 units from 10 units. I will head back for a follow up scan and lab work on Tuesday, May 25th (which is treatment day #6) and they will make any adjustments to the medication at that time if needed.

My emotions are starting to swing around again. I think this is all natural though, from the excitement and stress of everything. It is such a funny mix of emotions too, excited and scared, joy and fear, relief and stress. Every day seems like an eternity, and if I think the waiting is bad now, I can't imagine how I will get through the days of waiting for the pregnancy test.

I've made the decision to take things easy for the next few weeks. I'm told the more rest I get the better. Plus, I don't want to run the risk of getting sick now. I'm treating this as our one and only shot and taking precautions to not screw it up.

I can't believe that this is FINALLY happening!
