So far so good! Injections went well last night, except that we realized that the previous night (cd4) we gave me an extra 75 mg of Menopur. Oops. I worried a little, but whats done is done.
Bestie called this morning and invited me to go on a hike. It was a beautiful day and I'd been wanting to get outside and move around a little. We spent a good portion of the day in the park surrounded by the beautiful oak trees. We had lunch next to the river and I got to give Little One lots of hugs and kisses. The dogs got to run and explore along the trails and all thru the poison oak. It was really perfect.Then on our way home we stopped to get ice cream. Little One devoured her daddy's espresso cone - yikes!
I want to send a big congratulations out to Julie and Jeff who delivered their baby girl on Friday. Medications for tonight are:
150 units of Folistem (FSH)
75 units of Menopur (FSH & LH)
81 mgs of Asprin
16 mgs of Medrol (steroid hormone to assist pre-embryo implantation)
2.5 mgs of Parlodel (I've been taking this for a month now to lower my prolactin)
(Kanis - All these meds were prescribed by the RE. I'm not sure what the aspirin is for, but I'll ask at my next visit.)
(Don't forget that every comment during my ivf cycle is an entry into my giveaway! Thank you!)

It was a gorgeous day today! I am glad you were out enjoying the great weather! It's almost been a full week, way to go!
Beautiful photos... looks like a stunning day :) Happy injecting xoxo
Foxy, low-dose aspirin is an anticoagulant, and improves blood flow.
I must say, beautiful pictures there.
Good Luck!
Looks like it was a perfect day to get outside! Send some of that beautiful weather to the Pacific Northwest, please! =)
Beautiful weather and beautiful shots. I wish I lived somewhere like that...where is that anyway?
I will second WiseBursche, and add that the aspirin is meant to help increase blood flow to the uterus and other reproductive organs. :)
That hike sounds divine. Glad that things are going well, Foxy. My thoughts are with you each day.
Nice surroundings! Love the spring and summer. Glad to hear everything is going well so far.
I'm hoping that I get the go-ahead for the baby aspirin - I might just do it on my own, I already told them I was taking it with Niacin (which I need to get back into the habit of taking). Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about the mix-up with the drugs, there isn't anything you can do about it now. Gorgeous pictures - it looks warm, and I'm a little jealous.
I'm so glad things are going well!!!
Glad you had a great day to enjoy the outdoors!
Hi, Foxy! I am coming by from the cyclesista website and wanted to wish you the best with this cycle. I am currently waiting to start my second IVF cycle in a few weeks. I hope you have some good news to share very soon!!
I am so glad things are going well!!!! The Aspirin in theory is supposed to help increase blood flow to the ute and ovaries to stimulate follicle/egg production. There is inconclusive data as far as this goes, but if you don't have an underlying clotting issues or such it is okay.
I am so excitd for you two!!!!!!!
DAY 6...where have I been????? OMG. Ok it seems that every single thing is going well....and pretty soon it's going to be time to get this party started. I can't wait to hear.
I've been thinking so much of you....even dreaming of you telling me that you were PG...that has to be a SIGN/.
xo
Glad your cycle is going well so far! As PP said, the baby aspirin is supposed to help with blood flow/implantation. I was taking it both times I got a positive test (one was a chemical...the other is due in ten weeks :). So, I'm a believer!
