Today, via UPS, I received all of these beauties! I know, I would be jealous too. There is nothing like opening up a package and seeing alcohol swabs, syringes and a red needle box!
The meds are received are different from any other round we have done. Since we are at a different facility, it's been interesting to see what they do different. We are also doing the minimal stimulation, so only have the meds are needed. That saves on the pocketbook!
The meds are received are:
Gonal F - to help increase the amount of Follicles. I will be taking a dose of clomid for 5 days with the Gonal F. The more follicles, the more eggs.
Cetrotide - this will stop my ovaries from ovulation.
Progesterone - I have always hated the progesterone shot. It hurts so bad. This clinic likes to use progesterone vaginal suppositories. I'm excited to see how it goes. Down side, I have to use it 3 times a day, with the shot, it was only once a day.
HCG - is a natural hormone that the body produces to say, "Hey, we are pregnant". This is a "trigger" shot that I take about 36 hours before they harvest my eggs. That will help my ovaries know its time to make some magic!
All of the meds cost roughly $1800, and its only 2 weeks worth. A normal cycle, you take meds for about 4-5 weeks, so imagine that cost. So glad we are able to try this minimal cycle out. Fingers crossed luck and babies are on our side.
