Great phone call from Nurse

I was worried today because I am being monitored daily because my estrogen had gone from 353 to 1197 in 2 days. They backed off some of the meds and now the nurse just called and said that it went from 1197 to 1489 in one day. She said that was good news. Today I will be taking 1/2 if the bravelle vial, 1 menapur vial and another shot already pre-filled. Some of my eggs are measuring at 14. I think I will have my retrieval Sat. or Sunday. Not looking forward to that HCG shot coming up. I have to toughen up before then. It is all worth it. There is nothing I wouldn't go through to give life. Getting excited now. I have to remember...GOD is in control.

Sounds like some great numbers. I also have an appointment tomorrow (today was my one day off this week!) I will keep you posted on my trigger date.

I had very similar experiences with my estrogen level during IVF (I'm in the 2WW of my first cycle right now). For the HCG shot, I've had 2 of them and the first one sucked really bad. The second one, we were more seasoned and I seriously recommend icing the area for 5-10 minutes before the shot as it really helps.

I had the HCG injection 3 times and it didn't hurt at all.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
