We have new meds! For the past two weeks, I've been taking a daily oral dose of dexmethasone along with a morning injection of either Lupron (finished 11/9) or Ganirelix. This is joined by my regular meds of PNV, folic acid, 81mg aspirin, and my bp meds. Oh, and two E2V IM injections this week. (Thanks, Mom!) That is over a half-dozen meds for those of you counting, which is also equaling to one almost-full sharps container.
Tonight I add (insert dripping sarcasm) a fun & new med - the E2V vaginal suppository! Ew ew ew EW! I've been "feminine product" free for only one day (yesterday) out of the past 22 days and continue to wish that I had stock in Kotex. The supp is not going to hurt or be uncomfortable or anything like that, but is *IS* something going up my hoo-ha. Yet another thing to add to the party now known as my hoo-ha. Plus, you know what they say about what goes up . . .
Coming tomorrow to a stomach near me: STIMS! This is a big week, people. Gonal-F injections to stimulate the ovaries to produce follicle-filled eggs is next on the agenda. Then, Menopur injections later this week. Add to that all of the above meds, and we should have a fun-filled, possibly highly-emotional Thanksgiving holiday. :)
It's all been kinda fun and games and cute to this point, but now we are getting serious. Let's just pray that the massive amount of meds that enter my body will produce many high-quality eggs that pass the CGH genetic testing & are prepared for transfer or freeze. Otherwise, we will have wasted a lot of money, time, energy, and emotion.

The vag supps ARE pretty icky! Love that oozy feeling. ;)
Lots of love to you girlie -- we're praying!
Oooh, one good tip I was told was not to wear any tight-fitting white or light colored shirts. All of the meds that go along with IVF create some sort of yellowy tinge to your sweat and will give you major pit stains. More fun to add the the mix!
