Monitoring #2

June 8, 2007

I had my 2nd monitoring appointment this morning (day 5 of stimming). It went well. The regular nurses were at a conference today and the ultrasound tech had the day off, so I got my information a little differently than usual. The ultrasound tech was very nice and actually printed out the pictures to the […]

Monitoring #1

June 6, 2007

My 1st monitoring appointment for this cycle, since I began the stimulation meds on Monday, was this morning and it went well.

If AF arrives yet tonight I will go in tomorrow morning and would likely start everything tomorrow night. Though I am anxious to get […]
