Today we kicked off our transfer cycle with a baseline ultrasound. It went smoothly, no cysts and ovaries are nice and suppressed from the continuous birth control. I brought in a leftover gonal f cartridge from my iui cycles and instead of trying to sell it I just donated it back to them to give to someone who needs it. We'd rather get the good will than the money because we strongly believe you get back what you put out into the universe.
So, I did my first dose of Lupron today which I hear comes with some gnarly side effects (headaches, fatigue, hunger, general bitchiness) but so far nothing but a metal taste in my mouth. Given the other options I'd rather take the metal taste.
I'll slowly add and change meds but don't go back to the doctor until after thanskgiving. Hopefully my hormones won't get too out of control or hubby may lose his mind. I think with the thanksgiving holiday it will go by quickly. Every time I think about how there's a great chance we'll be pregnant by Christmas I get a big goofy smile.
Yay for you. After our last IVF worked and we knew we would not be going for anymore biological children...I donated like $1100 worth of gonal F and Lupron back to my clinic too. Believe me...the Kharma does work. So excited for your upcoming FET!!!!
