To my surprise I am not canceled!
I just got the call that I am to continue on the 0.05 ml of Lupron (in the morning) and to add 225 units (forget what they are ml or g or cc’s) of Gonal F at night.
Gonal F – This will make it so I will produce many eggs. So for you that like to cook, think of this as the sourdough starter. This helps jump start my ovaries to produce eggs. Later on (likely Monday) I will add Repronex. This will be like the yeast (to continue with the bread metaphor) to help my eggs grow.
The Lupron that I take makes it so my body ignores what is happening with my reproductive system.
Thank you for all prayers this cycle. Also for those of you that were following us since we were with Emily, tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of us loosing Emily. Perhaps today with my cycle is a bit of Emily wanting a new sibling.
I have a nutritionist appointment tomorrow. I think I am doing well but we shall see. I will try to update on that when I can.
I should also point out that I cooked quite a bit this week. I have made buttermilk brined fried chicken (Tony is from Alabama, he loves this!), a breakfast casserole that my mother made when we were down there, slow cooker pork ribs with gravy, and a rum cake for Tony. Tony is in heaven! Ha ha!

Hey guys,
I’m at work now and I wanted to write a lil note to let you know I have been thinking about you all this past week and precious little Emily has been on my mind today especially. I’m sure this is an extra hard day but I wanted to remind you of how loved Emily was in particular for me(I’m sorry to say, I did play favorites… your lil guys are very very special too… but hey, she’s my #1 girl and she liked listening to my problems in the middle of the night…not that she had much of a choice!)and is still in my heart. I think of our special times together very frequently. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope to catch up soon!
Luv, Rebecca
Jennifer / Tony… I too am thinking of your family today. I know Emily and her siblings are up in heaven, looking down and thanking God they have such wonderful parents. Laurel
Jennifer and Tony,
We’ve also been thinking about you guys this weekend and want you to know that we are wishing you guys the best this year, and are hopeful that this cycle will be a very joyous one for you.
Abby, Sharon, and Hallie
