Day 10 of Ovarian/Egg Stimulation - IVF #2


Trigger day! On top of my usual medications (Puregon, Menopur, Saizen) taken subcutaneously, I took Pregnyl (HCG) at 9:30 pm today.  Pregnyl is an intramuscular shot.  Timing is very important as this helps eggs mature.  It is taken 35 hours before egg retrieval.  At 10:30 pm today and 10:30 am tomorrow I have to take Lupron to prevent ovulation which is important so the doctor can retrieve my eggs from the ovaries.  My egg retrieval will be on Thursday 8:30 am.  Tomorrow, I just need bloodwork done and I don’t need to take any injections besides Lupron.  And no ultrasound tomorrow (glad no more poking down there).

I’m really praying this will be our successful cycle!
