More Meds

Nothing really seems very different at this point but I have started a couple more meds and my husband has started on an antibiotic (to be sure at collection that his sperm don't have any bacteria).  Also, I had an ultrasound last Wednesday to be sure I didn't have any huge follicles and that my uterine lining was nice and thin.  All this was just right, although it did continue to show that I have a little bit of a lower number of follicles than normal, but we already knew that I run lower than normal.  Then last Thursday I added Micro dose Hcg to my Lupron morning injections and have continued that.  Additionally, on Thursday I started the stimulation aspect of the whole process.  So... another shot, this one is called Follistim and I take it at night.  I guess since I have a lower than normal ovarian function my dose is higher than most women's.  My dose is 350 units every night.  However, that might all be changing tomorrow because my estrogen level was low on the lab draw this morning.  The estrogen level was supposed to be 100-300 but mine was only 33.  Tomorrow my nurse will call me to let me know what my FSH level is and if it is high they will up my Follistim dose but if it is low I think she said that means I am not absorbing the med correctly.  Oh dear, it is not really what I wanted to hear but it is okay.  I trust the Lord with it all, and if I am supposed to have a baby, it'll happen, and if not, I will learn to be at peace with it.  I am gonna do a 21 day fast starting tomorrow.  Not from food, but from worldly things such as tv, movies, most music, and gossiping.  I am still trying to think of the things that distract me from focusing on God so I can add those things to my list too.  During my fast I will be praying a lot.  My goal for this fast is that it helps me to grow closer to God, to be a more faithful servant, and to be living in His will.  I will try to write again soon about what my nurse and doctor decide about my low estrogen level.  Please send up a bunch of prayers for me and and my husband.
