Husband's Perspective - 06/23/10 – Next Stop...Ovidrel

It looks like we have a good collection of follicles to work with, so the Doc gave us the signal to stop all of the stimulation meds and take the Ovidrel challenge. The package for the Ovidrel shot looks identical to the Ganirelix shot, so the Ovidrel challenge is to see if Wifey can tell the difference between them. And she could – the Ovidrel went in smoothly, and didn’t cause the itchy reaction that we saw with the Ganirelix. Wifey is also very pleased to be done with the Menopur (or Menopurehell), but I have a few spare vials left over just in case she ever wants to relive the burning sensation of that shot …

So now we have a few idle days while we wait for retrieval on Friday. After two weeks of doing shots twice a day (oh, that takes me to a whole other place!) we are done with the meds for now. PIO shots start on Sunday – I have that date circled on the calendar, but I’m not sure that Wifey is as keen as me about this one.
