So I've been spotting for weeks now and while I'm not 100% sure when CD1 was, I'm counting it as the day that the spotting seemed a little heavier than normal:P So, today is CD 3. I called my nurse to get dated for IVF and I start birth control tomorrow night!!! I hate that I have another 21 days to wait before everything else starts but at least I'm getting closer to everything:) My nurse ordered my meds and I should get them by the end of the week (thankfully it'll be Jan 1 when I start bcp's so insurance hopefully won't be an issue). I also scheduled my mock transfer for 1/7... this (or next if you're J;)) Friday!!! J and I have to go through all the paperwork for deciding what to do with any extra embryo's (fingers crossed) that we have and sign all the consent forms so I'm hoping he'll come with me to my appt on the 7th so we can do that. Then it's a couple more weeks before stims start. My family will be happy to know I can go on that ski trip:P
This is what my nurse sent me... med list and then protocol with est. dates:
21 days of Birth Control pills
Ganirelix or Cetrocide
Bravelle and Menopur
Lupron for Trigger
Zithromax (have to look up what this is for)
Estrace
Endometrin suppositories
Prenatal vitamin
1/1-1/21- Birth Control Pills
1/7- Mock Transfer
1/22- Pre IVF evaluation bloodwork (E2, P4, beta) and ultrasound
1/25- If all is normal on the 22nd, start stims (150 bravelle/75 menopur)
Once follicles >14mm start ganirelix
2/4- approximate trigger
2/6- approximate Egg Retrieval
2/9 or 2/11- approximate egg transfer
Looked up my estimated due date for IVF protocol and if the ER is on the 6th my EDD would be Oct 30! Happy Halloween;)
I am SO freaking excited!!! J is so nervous and still seems so upset about all this. I'm just hoping things go smoothly and we get some great news mid February. :) Happy New Year!
