Trip to the RE (doctor)

Yesterday Chris and I met with the RE. I had to get a few 'girlie' tests. Afterwards, we both met with the nurse and financial consultant. It felt like we were buying a house. (Not too far off :) )
Anyway, we had to get a bunch of paperwork signed and notarized. Most of this had to do with frozen embies. Hopefully we will have some to freeze after this first IVF that we can use later or use if this first attempt is unsuccessful.

We met with the nurse for quite awhile discussing meds, including when, where and how to give the injections. Of course I immediately felt like I was going to puke, heard almost nothing she said...but not to worry-Chris took notes (God help me!). The first 2 weeks of injections don't seem like a big deal. We just draw 10 units out of the bottle...aim and fire. Can't be that bad. It is the stimulant drugs that worry me. We are having to mix like 5 different meds together into one vile so that it is given as just one shot. I think the toughest part is going to be keeping the doses straight (which is probably pretty important).

Next RE appointment is March 4. I will have an ultrasound and they will hopefully give me the green light to start the stims the following day.
