Lupron Starts - Finishing Up Projects Before IVF Transfer

So I started my Lupron suppression shots tonight! I can't believe how real this is feeling now!!

I am having some dental work done from a filling that feel out during my pregnancy with Charlie.  The IVF Coordinator told me that all of the Novocaine procedures need to be over by the time I start the stimulation phase on September 3rd! Luckily, I hope to have the root canal finished on the 29th. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out.

I also have plans to do a serious cleaning of my house before the egg transfer. I don't know if that will really happen but hope to devote most of Labor Day weekend to that project.

IVF #2 -- Decision to Try Again and Medication Arrival

We are well on our way to chasing our first rainbow.  I began the birth control on August 5th for our second In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).  Our first IVF in January 2011 was successful but the pregnancy proved to be very complicated and I delivered our little boy at 23 weeks and 3 days.  He lived 17 hours and 22 minutes before passing away in my arms.  My husband and I decided that we owed it to him to continue our dream of having a family.

We received the all clear from the doctor to try again on August 5th and it worked out that it was early enough in my cycle to start the birth control the same day!

Today my IVF medication arrived! We were very excited, but I didn't remember exactly how many boxes and needles you need to make this happen.

I remember last time that after the Lupron injections start, that time really flies so I am hoping that Wednesday arrives quickly! Also, I am stopping the birth control on the 28th, I felt better after stopping them the first time, so I hope to feel more like myself after that part is over this time.
