IVF #2: And so it begins.

Today marks the official start of stims for IVF #2! I guess my mystery "levels" were Ok this morning. So today at exactly 5 pm, I officially started my IVF cycle.

Can I just tell you, I totally forgot how much those shots burn. Yikes! Thankfully this cycle I only have to give myself  3, instead of 6, shots a day. Just to give you all a run down (and to keep a record for myself)  I am on 225 iu of Follistim, 10 units of Lupron, and 15 units of low dose HCG.  The Follistim left a nice little bruise on my stomach already. I'm well on my way to becoming a pin cushion.

It's finally here! I'm so excited  nervous anxious.... ready. Yes, I am definitely READY!
