Wednesday morning I go in to the doctor’s office. It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve been there and that feels like a huge break!

That appointment will be my official start to IVF. Besides the standard ultrasound and blood work, I’ll be meeting with the nurse to go over the meds protocol. I have to bring 1 of everything, so that she can walk me through exactly how to prepare and give myself each of the shots. That’s pretty heavy duty. It wasn’t so long ago that I was stressed about the Gonal F shot and now I’ll be doing 3-4 different shots a day!

I’m anxious, but also ready to get this underway. Hopefully 2 weeks from now I’ll have been through the retrieval and will have had lots of good embryos for the transfer. After all these last few months of feeling like I had become an expert, I have tons of new stuff to learn.
