IVF- Day 40: Time to Wake Some Eggs

Well, we are now developing some eggs. As of May 6th, I started Follistim. (100 IUs) I was kind of nervous since it is a needle pen but honestly the needle goes in the skin so much easier than the Lupron. I am still taking Lupron however the new dosage is only 5 units.

What is Follistim?

Follistim is a superovulatory drug that stimulates the egg development. This drug contains a follicle stimulating hormone but no luteinizing hormone.

Administer: Subcutaneous Injection: The medicine is delivered under the skin.

Possible Side Effects: bloating, fluid retention, breast tenderness, nausea, moodiness, fatigue, and restlessness

CURRENTLY:

The Lupron has been giving me wicked headaches and my stomach is really bloated. Not to mention, my stomach is beginning to look like I have a drug problem. It is covered with red marks and bruises. This is not one of cutest moments.

CYCLE DAY 10
