Let the shots begin

My Fertility Calendar

Picture of my meds for this cycle

Today I had my first of many shots to start this current frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle.  I also had my ultrasound to make sure everything looked good inside (which it did).  This cycle isn't nearly as exciting as the first go round. Far less bloodwork and ultrasounds needed for a FET cycle but way more shots!  I have 3 different medicines that are injections this time and only one is a nice easy SQ shot in my fat.  The other 2 are in the muscle and Dan (and then Heather) is going to have to give me some of those shots.  The IVF cycle had so many ultrasounds because we had to constantly monitor the follicle growth of my eggs.  But since we already have a 5 day old embryo frozen in time we just have to give me tons of medicines to get my uterine lining nice and thick and welcoming to the embryo.   So I don't think there will be many updates on this area of our life until the actual transfer day (12/17) in Dayton.
