Lupron Update

I've been anxiously awaiting the call all day……I have a feeling I’m going to be “anxiously awaiting the call all day” many more time before this process is over, so I better get used to it! I got a call from the IVF nurse at about 4pm today (I was starting to wonder if they were going to call!) She reiterated that my progesterone was low, so I have not ovulated yet. I have to go back for another blood test on Thursday to see if I have ovulated yet. If I have, I can start the Lupron injections on Friday, the 30th. I am praying that I have ovulated and my progesterone is above a 5, so that we can get the show on the road! I do think this cycle would be cancelled if we can’t get my progesterone above 5. I don’t know what the next step would be, but I definitely would not be able to start the Lupron until they can confirm ovulation has happened. Please pray that I ovulate this week and that my progesterone is above a 5! I know us PCO’ers don’t ovulate on our own, so I’m not sure how this is going to play out. I may need to do birth control for a month to get things regulated, and then try again next month. That would be a bummer!

Luckily, the closer north office is open on Thursday, so I don’t have to drive all the way down to the far away office. I have the day off work and was hoping to sleep in. But, the infertile does not get to sleep in (as usual.) We are supposed to get 3-7 inches of snow on Wednesday night through Thursday night, so should be an interesting drive! Wish me luck! I need ALL the luck I can get!
