Well.. didn't see that coming.

So I went in on Tuesday and did my blood work and my ultrasound.  The kids were in schools so I didn't have to worry about finding anyone to help with them.

Dr. Nuredeen (she did my last hysteroscopy) did my scan.  She said my lining was really thin and my follicles were small.  She can't make the decisions on my treatment because Dr. G is my official doctor.  She said "I can see you starting- but it all depends on your bloodwork and Dr. G."  I waited all day to hear back.  Finally, at 7pm I got my message that I needed to start my meds that day!

Thankfully, I had pills and patches left over from August.  While I was at the doc's office I called the specialty pharmacy and ordered my meds for overnight shipment just in case.

It's official.. I'm a walking pharmacy this go-round.
estrace (dissolvable pill) 3x a day
estrogen patch (changed every 3 days)
lovenox (blood thinner) injection every day (uggggh!!)
Metanx - to help me absorb folic acid- 2x/day
baby asprin

and then later on... the lovely progesterone in oil.

I'm excited for the IVF part... the whole meds part totally sucks.  I don't know if I'll be able to this another time if this doesn't work.

People keep asking me "you really want another one?"  are we crazy?  I never know how to respond to that... or why I have to defend our decision.  It's a 3rd child... not a 10th.  Jon and I made this decision together.  It's going to be hard.  It's going to be a lot of work... but it's worth it.  We started talking about when the twins are grown.  They'll only have a few kids each.. that means if they only have 2 kids each.. that's only 4 grandchildren.  Then we talked about family gatherings that we have in our own families.  It's fun to have multiple siblings and having cousins to play with.  We want that for our family.

Sorry, had to get that out lol.  I'm nervous.  I hate the meds.. but I have high hopes!
