Michael and I found out that his work is getting rid of our insurance plan and starting January 1st we'll have just a PPO. This plan doesn't cover all infertility processes. So we are speeding up our infertility by starting in vitro. We just had a visit to the doctor today and learned about the medicine process for the next few weeks. Oh my is all I have to say! Here's a picture of all the stuff I will need:
AAAAAAhhhhhhh!!!!
As my Dr. says, it's time to Hans and Frans you up. Lol! So here's an outline of what I need to do:
*I started birth control 2 weeks ago to ready my follicles for mass egg production.
*Monday Michael and I start an antibiotic so we don't get me sick. I also start Lupron - an injectable hormone. This will be once a day.
*In about 2 weeks I start another injectable that I will give myself 2 times a day. I will still be taking the Lupron so I will have 3 shots a day.
*I will be monitored 3 times a week at this point to check which day will be best for egg retrieval. Once things look good I will take a shot of Ovidrel to help make sure the ovulation process will happen. This helps loosen the eggs so that they can retrieve them.
*The next day I will start the progesterone pill 2 times a day.
*The next day they will retrieve my eggs. I will start Medrol (2 tabs twice a day for 4 days). I will also take a few antibiotics to make sure I don't get an infection.
*A few days after this I will get my embryos transferred into my uterus. Sometime around this day I will take another shot. The day after the transfer I will use Crinone which is a vaginal progesterone liquid.
After all this, hopefully I will be pregnant!! Our fingers are crossed!
