Day 5 of Stimulating Meds

Today there were my meds:

Lupron 5U SQ QAM / .75 mg dexamethasone / Gonal-F 150 units PM / Heparin 5000 units BID / Menopur 1 vial PM (FSH/LH) / IVIG Infusion (30gm/250 mL)

Today was my IVIG Infusion. I think it went well. I got there at 8:00 am, but they didn't see me until almost 9:00 am. They started the 5% Dextrose and premedicated me with (1) Benadryl (since she said I had something too low that could make me have an allergic reaction to the IVIG), (2) a steroid, (3) something else I can't remember. Finally at 9:25 they started the actual IVIG infusion. Since it took about 4 hours I didn't leave until almost 2:00 pm.

I got to meet Kathleen today at Dr. Saleh's office. That was nice. I wish I would have had more time to chat with her, but I'm sure we will get together on another day. She is also cycling in June.

When I got home I began to get a bit of a headache so I took some Tylenol gelcaps and took a nap. My mom was over and she made some beef stew so I woke up and ate some. Afterwards, they left and I started watching TV, but dose off again. I later woke up, went to the restroom and went to the bedroom and didn't get up until about 9:00 pm. I didn't have a headache anymore, but I took some Tylenol anyway.
