Stimulation Begins

After spending the past two weeks ordering medication, and dealing with IVF logistics, we had an exciting day today. An early morning bloodtest and ultrasound confirmed I was ready to begin the stimulation phase.  This is the phase in which I receive daily injections in order to "stimulate" my ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

Most of my medication arrived today and we jumped right back into the shot routine. It was a lot less scary the second time around and Steve expertly gave the first of many, many shots!



So...one shot down and five a day from now until Wednesday when I go in for more bloodwork to see how I'm progressing. Wish us luck!
