Starting Stims

Well, I started my second injection today (known as stims - they tell your body to produce lots of eggs, hopefully). I will have an appt. on Wed to see how many follicles I have and how big they are.

Ok, I don't really enjoy shots but I have never been given a shot that made me cry (ok, maybe when I was five). Apparently, Menopur stings and burns a little bit (I mix one vial of Menopur with two vials of Bravelle for each shot). I could feel it dispersing through my arm this morning and I just started crying. Now, this could also be because I am pumping myself full of hormones. The shot also felt like it took forever to get all the medicine in....ugh.

On a brighter note - Sandy had a doctor's appointment today to see how thick her lining is. It measured a 10 (I don't know if that is mm or what it is) but from my experience talking to other women that is a high number. Its the biggest anyone has mentioned having (that I have talked to). I think the higher the better - although I don't know if there is such a thing as too high.

That is all for now. I'll keep taking my shot in the morning and my shot at night and let you know how it goes!
