Day 4 Menopur ,Follistim & Lupron
Saturday, May 19, 2012
Today is day 4 of the shots. I was very glad to get rid of the fever I had this afternoon. Feeling even a tad better makes such a big difference. I have been emailing an old friend from high school who has gone through IVF. She is now 7 months pregnant with twins.
The protocol I am currently on was the one her RE thought was best for her to start the IVF process. This is a more aggressive protocol to get more eggs in each follicle. I am so hoping this works for me as well as it did for her.
I was reading on the Internet about ways to make the egg count increase. I found out eating a high protein diet, acupuncture and keeping your stomach warm with a heating pad could help. I may as well give it a shot as two out of the three are easy. I am not sure about the whole acupuncture thing. I am already having to give myself three shots every night. I am not keen on having little needles put into my hands, feet, arms, temple etc.
I may research more about what occurs during an acupuncture appointment.
