It's a go!

Thank y'all for all of your reassuring comments.  I just talked my nurse and she said that we are good to start prometrium tomorrow night.  One more Lupron Shot! And this is a good thing because I only have one more needle in my house.  My Estradiol level was in the 2000's.  No wonder I feel like I am already pregnant.  Nothing sounds that good to eat, but I can still eat without a problem. 

So now I'll stay on 4 patches of estrogen, 1 estrace/day.  Tomorrow, I will start prometrium suppositories 3 x day, Medrol 1x/d, Tetracycline 4x/d, baby aspirin 1x/d.  No injections!!! 

I have to get my progesterone level checked on Sat., so I will probably swing by my old fertility clinic early to get a blood draw on my way to the Memphis Airport.  I went there this morning and ran into a childhood acquaintance who is doing IVF.   She said if this cycle did not work for her, she was considering going out to CCRM.  I feel like I need to start a IVF club in my town!

    So exciting that things are moving along!!! I had E2 over 2000 so can totally understand how uncomfortable, bloated, nauseous you must be feeling. Hang in there and take care of yourself.

    Glad you found me! Having to freeze all your embryos is frustrating but having OHSS is way worse. Alex and I lived in Memphis from 2002-2006 while he was in med school - I really liked it there! Good luck - hopefully we will both get BFP's!

    Welcome to Denver Jenn! Can you please email me @ flygirl555@gmail.com? Need to head south tomorrow (Monday) and would love to stop by to say "hello"!

    Also, saw that you were reading a book about Phoebe Snetsinger. If you haven't already, you've GOT to read Mark Obmascik's "The Big Year." I met Mark last year in-person (he was kind enough to say "yes" to a blind email when I asked him to speak at our book club) and he is remarkable! A movie based on this book (starring Steve Martin and Jack Black) opens in a few weeks and my friends and I can't wait to see it!
