Stimmy Stim Stims

Saw Dr. V yesterday for my baseline ultra sound; no cysts on the ovaries. Everything is looking good and we are right on schedule. I start the Gonal-f (stims) tonight. My belly already has a bunch of little bruises from the Lupron injections and now I have to ad another one. I'll make sure and take a picture of my pin cushion stomach to post on here when I'm all done. Two injections everyday for the next two weeks, it doesn't get much better than this.
After he did the ultra sound he tried to map my uterus so things could go smoothly on the day of the transfer. That didn't go so well. My uterus point straight down, so it makes things a little difficult. He couldn't do it without making me super uncomfortable, so we just decided to stop. When I have my retrieval he's going to have to put a stitch in my uterus to hold it in place. Thankfully, I will be under twilight anesthesia.
So far so good. I go in on Monday to have my first follicle check and lab tests to check my estrogen levels.

Good luck, Yaz! I know you're a trooper...and even though Chris is all gay about sports, I'm sure he's taking some time out of his homo-ball viewing to wait on you hand and foot.
