I know we haven't written much lately. Seems as though the videos speak more to what is actually happening. The medications have begun, which makes it feel as though we're moving forward for real this time! Exciting!

This series of meds is to stimulate my follicles. Although the latest concern was that two of them were too big, we're at the stage now where "bigger is better" per se. I will only have to do this type of shot through Thursday. Thursday morning I will head in to the doctor and get a scan. They will look over the follicles and see how they are responding. The follicles look very similar to a soccer ball. The ovary area is surrounded by these quadrants that expand to a certain measurement.

The hope, is that they respond well and we are able to continue. If they are NOT the size they need to be, they will increase the dosage on the shots. That is something that they tried prior to the insemination attempts. Amazing what a little shot can make your body do!
