We had our baseline appointment at the RE's office yesterday. Everything went well and it was a very quick appointment. I gave a blood sample for my current Estradiol level that will be compared next week when I give more blood samples on 4/29 and 5/1. Estradiol is the hormone that can be measured to show how well my body is responding to the stimulation medication. The RE also performed an ultrasound to make sure my ovaries are "quiet" giving us the green light for starting the stim injections tonight.
The stimulation medications will consist of an additional shot which is a coctkail mix of gonal-f and menopur. This shot will be given in my belly at the same time as the reduced dose of Lupron is given in either my arm or thigh. The IVF nurse tells me that with starting the stims and reducing the Lupron will help with all the side effects (major migranes lately) because my estrogen levels will increase. She says to give it two days.
