Well we have been here for a week and so far I've had an ultrasound and bloodwork every second day (about that) to monitor the growth of my follicles. Follicles are the little ovarian houses that the eggs live in (lol). Well over this past week I have seen some of my follicles grow from 4 and 5 mm to 11 and 12....so the "miracle grow" Gonal F is working. I do need prayers though because not all of them are growing as quickly as we'd like to see. I have taken 225 units of Gonal F and then switched up to 300 units of Gonal F and today I also started Cetrotide and Luveris which are two other injectable medications that help with the growing process.
We have had a nice week traveling around and enjoying the Victoria area. We've been shopping, we have checked out 3 different churches and we have gone on scenic drives...enjoyed delicious food...and relaxed. It has been great. Not to mention, I have conquered the fear of giving myself needles (which I was sure was going to be the worst part, and maybe it is...but it's not too bad at all).
I feel great so far. A few twinges of pain and a headache here or there but on the whole I feel good.
Have a great Easter everyone!
Thank you so much to everyone for the emails/messages and encouraging words, prayers and support of all kinds. I love you all so much.
God Bless and Take Care,
Jen
