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.
