After discovering Nathan carries the CF gene and was born without vas deferens, we embarked on the IVF journey immediately. So here we are, balls deep :) and optimistic. Follow our sometimes inappropriate fertility blog by entering your email address here and don't worry- you can cancel anytime:

How To Prepare & Inject Menopur
When I was about to start my shots, my brother searched his cell phone for youtube videos on how to do specific injections. I happened to watch one while I did my first injection. It helped a ton. Today could be my last day of Menopur injections since I have blood work and an ultrasound in the morning so I thought I had better get recording.

4 to 6
Menopur Injections:
I have been doing Menopur injections since last Thursday. I went in for blood work and an ultrasound on Sunday morning and my eggs are being produced as needed, however, my lining isn't thick enough. We moved from 4 vials of Menopur per day to 6. When I prepare the syringe, I am using 1cc of sodium chloride (dilutent in liquid form) to all powders, six vials worth.
My next appointment for blood work and ultrasound is Wednesday morning. At that point we will then probably more to the next injection. Our retrieval is only about a week away. For the retrieval, Nate will get a nerve block to get his testicular biopsy done while I will be put under and fully sedated.
