The Leupron Challenge...

Well, this is likely our last update until March 18. Yesterday, Adam and I drove to Nashville for our official Leupron challenge test. This consisted of a blood draw of 6 vials (yes....6), a pelvic ultrasound (my first ever), and an injection of Leupron. Being a medical person and somewhat of a geek, I kind of enjoyed watching the ultrasound. We could see lots of immature follicles (egg casings, for those who aren't medical) on the left ovary and not much on the right. The ones on the right were there, just too tiny to see well. Didn't have any side effects from the injection throughout the day, so was thankful for that.

Today, drove back to Nashville to have more blood drawn. This time was only 3 tubes! While being stuck isn't fun, the lady that does the draws there is really amazing. She's taken 9 vials of my blood in 2 days and I don't have a single bruise to show for it! (Total of 13 since going to Nashville on February 18!)

So now the wait begins...
