There you have it folks! these are the official meds, needles, and syringes that will help us make lots of babies (or, at least, lots of eggs). Andrea's meds are on the left and my meds are on the right. Andrea's drugs include Follistim, Menopur, Lupron, Lovenox, Azithromycin, HCG, baby aspirin, and pre-natal vitamins. My drugs include Lupron, Dexamethasone, Azithromycin, Progesterone (in 2 forms), Delestrogen, baby aspirin, and pre-natal vitamins.
We ended up using 3 different pharmacies in order to cut costs, hence the three sharps containers! One pharmacy, Mandell's, even gave us a little bag of hershey kisses! how cute are they! we love the folks at Mandell's!
Some of the drugs are easy to administer because the come in pre-filled syringes, others are somewhat easy to administer because they require us to fill the syringe before injecting, still others are kinda tricky because they require one type of needle to draw a liquid from one bottle, mix it with a powder from another bottle, draw the liquid into the syringe with the same needle, and then switch needles before administering! And one drug even has it's own pen that you use to administer. So much to think about!
My shots begin on January 30th and Andrea's start on February 1st. I'm pretty sure that at some point, no one will want to be around us because of all the crazy hormones and mood swings... BUT, it will all be sooo worth it in the end! :)
