99 vials of Bravelle on the Wall

Yep, I've got a huge box of Bravelle, Follistim, Menoupur, and progesterone in oil sitting in my bedroom. And while I may not have 99 vials of drugs, I DO have 99 people reading my blog and following my story!

My favorite is the Pea in a Pod.
To celebrate the start of my IVF cycle 
(OMG OMG OMG) 
I am hosting my first ever giveaway! 

I'm not really sure how these giveaways work, but I do want to do something special to thank this amazing community that has offered me so much support. One of the first blogs I discovered was Among the Blossoms. Jenna had the prettiest blog and such an upbeat positive perspective. It only seems appropriate that she started creating beautiful and inspired jewelry. If you haven't seen her bracelets yet, check them out at her Etsy store. (She's also on Facebook.) Go ahead and fall in love with the bracelet that is meant for you because the winner of my giveaway will receive their very own Bloomtastic bracelet!

So this is how its gonna work, I love comments, and will especially love your sweet words during this ivf cycle. So every comment I receive between now and my beta will count as an entry. Poems and other inspiring encouraging quotes will count as two entries. When I get my beta the first week of April I'll announce the winner of the giveaway. The winner will tell me which bracelet they love and it will magically appear in their mailbox a short time later.

I had my baseline ultrasound and blood draw this morning. Everything looks good and we have the green light to start the injections of Bravelle and Menopur tonight. I am so excited.

The other exciting news is that the weight of my exhaustion has lifted too. The day after I stopped taking the bcp my energy started to return, slowly but surely. I'm not sleeping 12 hours a night and even worked a solid 7 hours today after our ultrasound today. It feels good to feel better, you know?

Keep the good news coming in my direction!

Oh la la! Love the giveaway. I love the "little bit of everything." I feel that sums up our journey, we've been all over the board when considering treatments and have delt with a little bit of everything.

Yay -- glad you are feeling better, and congratulations on starting the injectables -- grow, follies, grow!

Augusta said...

HOURRAY!!! SO excited for the start of your IVF cycle. I want an update on the injections! I can't remember if you've taken injections before? So, your adoring fans want a play-by-play of how that goes.
Things sounds like they are off to a great start! You must be so relieved that the fatigue has finally lifted.
I like your giveaway idea, Foxy.
