Round 2

Round 2 of IVF is in effect. I started taking the fertility drugs last Thursday including Gonal-F (which I took last time) and a new drug Menapure. So shots again every night at 9PM. The Gonal-F is really easy but the Menapure requires mixing and also burns when injected, but overall not too bad.

I go to the doctor for check-in tomorrow morning to see how the eggs are developing. They hope the Menapure will increase my number of eggs, so we will find out later this week. They plan on the egg retrieval being sometime between this Friday 5/28 and Monday 5/31, conveniently when I will be on a family vacation in Michigan. After the retrieval they will fertilize the eggs immediately and they monitor them. They will transfer them back in on Day 3 or Day 5, depending on the development status. Pregnancy test will 10 days after the transfer. 

I also plan on doing acupuncture treatments and chiropractic adjustments which are supposed to be really helpful. I will update the blog daily for the next few weeks. xoxo
