IVF #1 is officially underway. I'm in tomorrow for my blood work, baseline and uterine sounding.

I have to go to this appointment alone. Should I be scared?

I gave you life, then you gave me mine.

    Yay!!  And NO -- absolutely have no fear about your baseline appt.  You'll have an internal ultrasound and they'll take b/w.  Easy stuff!!  My clinic always does baseline on CD3.  You should get a call quickly thereafter with a more specific plan for your protocol.  Good luck Fraggle!  You'll do great :-)

    My doc said that they are going to show me how to do the injections tomorrow. Well........I still don't have my meds. The donated ones are going to be here by tomorrow afternoon but not in time for my appointment. I'm sure they have something else to show me with, right?

    He advised me to take a few motrin before I come in for the uterine sounding, which is why I'm a bit nervous. :/
