Lupron Injection Demonstration for IVF

IVF Schedule!

Well here it is! We got out IVF schedule this week, and I started my medications! First off is birth control...that sounds counter-productive right? :) Well I take the "active" birth control (you know, the colored pills in the pack- the white ones are what you usually take when you are on your period) for 29 days so that the docs can control precisely when I will start my April period...and ultimately control when I ovulate (all of the meds will dictate down to the exact hour when I will ovulate). The other medications I take are called Lupron, Bravelle, and Menopur- which are all injections. Mark is pretty excited about giving me the injections! haha I'm pretty nervous about it...because these are not little needles, they are full size and will go in pretty deep! Once we start the injections I will be doing three a days- all in the same location (about 3 inches below my belly button). We'll take pictures when we start that part and we'll be sure to post them as well :)
