IVF Blunders and Plans

I recently watched a law and order episode about an IVF mishap where embryos were created using one woman's eggs and mistakenly implanted into another women. The child was five when it was noticed. Then, of course, I am following the recent story about the wrong embryos being implanted! Ahh, I remember back to simpler times when babies just got switched after birth...in the hospital. On that note, I have been taking lupron for a couple weeks and will start stimulation drugs in the next couple days. That equates to three shots in the belly each morning. When that's all said and done, Chris will get the pleasure of practicing his IM injection technique on my rear.

We expect to do the egg retrieval the week of the 5th. Of course, in the world of infertility, nothing can actually be planned in advance.

Chris has this week off and he has an ambitious to do list. Patching holes, fixing stuff, replacing things. What a vacation!
