Shots Have Begun

Just wanted to bring you up to speed on where we are at now. We have been a bit frustrated because we have been pushed back a couple of times because the Dr's new lab had not been completed yet. We are now good to go and are very excited..but not overly.

Dr. Barnett put Kelly on the pill and she's been on it for about 2 weeks now. This is helping regulate this cycle. Yesterday she started the Lupron shots which keeps her from ovulating. She will continue this during the whole process...until the Dr. says stop. In about 9 days or so she will start the follistem shots which help her stimulate the follicles (eggs) in her ovaries. After about 1.5 weeks of that she will take Ovidril which will make her ovulate those eggs for extraction.

If my memory serves me right it will be the week of Sept 7th when Dr. Barnett extacts the eggs and fertilizes them. It will be about 2 weeks from retrieval date when we find out if it took.

Please keep us in your thoughts.
