First time <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>’er here.

Tonight will be my 5th round of stims. I’m on menopur and follistim. I went for my first US this morning and was so relieved to see so many follicles!!! Like seriously so many. And they’re already a 10-12mm! I knew it too. I told my husband last, “My ovaries must be doing serious work, because they feel like they’re in overdrive.” Sure enough, they were. Keep up the good work little ladies.

My doctor said I’m responding really well to the meds and that I can start ganirelix tonight. When I go back for my second US Monday, they might reduce my dose of stims then. As of now my ER is 4/21 and transfer is 4/26. It will be here before I know it. Any calendar buddies?

I’m so happy it’s going well. I’m such an anxious person in general and this journey is not for the faint hearted. I’ve really come to terms that this is my story. That God chose me to have my babies this way. Maybe because He knew that somewhere deep down, I could muster up the strength to get through this. And I’m learning each day to embrace it, to enjoy it, and to appreciate the fact that I’m fortunate enough to be able to be on this path. I’m at peace with this and I just know it’s going to work.
