Most people just fall into parenthood without too much effort but for some (many, as a matter of fact!) it's not so easy. Unfortunately, we are in that category of reproductively challenged folks known as "infertiles". I started this blog, not as a ploy for sympathy, but because I never can tell who wants to know what about the details of our journey. Hence, those who care to know, can come here to stay in-the-know about our crazy ride to overcome infertility.

Let the Party in My Ovaries Begin!
The results of my repeat estrogen tests on Tuesday (7/5) and Thursday (7/7) were both less than 50 so I started taking my IVF fertility meds this morning! The goal is to stimulate multiple follicles to grow simultaneously so that we will, hopefully, have a good number of mature eggs available for retrieval. I uploaded a picture of my stimulation meds to give an idea of how many drugs are involved in this process. I will inject all of this (2 injections in the belly twice daily) in 7 - 10 days, pretty staggering!
