This morning I drove 3hrs to the Fertility Clinic...I was up at 4am to make my 9am appointment (it ended up taking a little longer to get there due to traffic). The fertility doctor did the ultrasound and said everything looked great and the retrieval would definitely be on Friday. After the ultrasound (and more blood work) the fertility nurse sat down with me and gave me more instructions.
My instructions for the next couple days:
**Today (Wednesday)
Lupron 5units (I injected this morning)
Follistim 400units (yeah, they upped it again) to be injected at 4:30pm
Menopur 75units to be injected at 4:30pm
Ovidrel 2 doses (yes, two shots) to be injected at 9:30pm (I'll try to tape this one, since this will be the only injections for this medication...this injection stimulates the eggs to be released)
Thursday:
NO SHOTS!! Yipee...
Start antibiotic (pill form)
get plenty of fluids
nothing to eat or drink after midnight!!!
Friday:
be at the clinic no later than 8am
retrieval will be at 8:30am
released at 9:30am
**I'll post later about the shots from today and how I am feeling!
