In Full Swing (by Chris)

Well, we are in full swing and I'm so excited. Amy started taking the Follistim medication on Friday and will take this for about 10 days all together. We've done this medication 3 times before so we are pretty use to this step. The difference this time though is that she is taking twice the dose.

Tomorrow we have another appointment to see how the Follistim is doing developing the eggs. They can't actually see the eggs, but they monitor follicles which is close to how many eggs you could potentially have. So we'll exchange the term follicles or eggs as the same thing.This week Amy will be on the medicine all this week then we have a tentitive date of 18th for the egg retrival, they will fertilize them right then and monitor them for the next 5 days and then do an embryo transfer sometime between the 3rd and 5th day, that's the 23rd for now.

Tonight I cooked dinner and I can't wait for Amy to get home to spend time together.
