Let's Get This Party Started

I started my period on Sunday, June 22nd, which was several days earlier than I thought it would be since there were only 24 active pills in my birth control pack. So yay for that! The nurse had told me if I started my period on Saturday or Sunday to come in on Monday morning. So I was at the office at 8 AM on Monday morning with a pit in my stomach because I was so worried the cysts would still be present on ultrasound. But my ovaries were clear and I had my bloodwork and went to work. The nurse called me that afternoon and said to give myself 75 units starting on Tuesday for 3 nights and come back into the office on Friday morning. This worked out perfectly since Friday was the first day of my 2 week vacation. The follicles on my ovaries were developing as they should (about 5 mm each) and the nurse told me later on in her phone call to keep taking 75 units per day and come back on Monday morning. So that's where I'm headed in the morning! Looking back at how we did things last time, there were 10 days between the start of the injections and the insemination procedure. If things go the same way this time, we're looking at doing the insemination later this week. But I'll find out for sure tomorrow as long as things are progressing as they should. Fingers crossed for follicle growth!
