Well, my IVF meds are on their way! I should be getting my box o' fun on Friday. My sister has said she'll pick it up for me at the RE's office. They close before I can get there.
I also received my protocol:
May 27th - Last birth control pill
May 30th - ultrasound and bloodwork. Start Microdose Lupron 20 units/twice a day.
Take baby aspirin, too.
June 1st - Begin Bravelle 225 (3 vials) and Menopur (2 vials) for 10-12 days.
June 13-20th - Somewhere in here will be my egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

OK - this is TOO weird! Our protocols are almost identical!
I start Lupron this Friday (5/24), start Menopur/Gonal-F May 30th, estimated retrieval June 10th and transfer somewhere in the June 13-15 timeframe.
June 15th was my dad's b-day and Father's Day so I'm taking that as a sign! :)
That IS weird! Good luck with starting the Lupron. I didn't mind the Lupron shots - the needle's not very big.
How are you doing? Do you take birth control pills right up to 5/24?

Still doing good. Last day of BC pills is Sunday, 5/25. I'm not really worried about the shots too much. Needles have never really bothered me and I have this weird fascination with medical stuff. My husband freaked out a little when he saw the needles for the POI. He doesn't like needles so this should be interested. We have our injection class scheduled for Wednesday morning.
Sounds great, Wendy!! I am about a week or so behind you with no BCPs and starting Lupron around June 1st.
Good luck!! I hope lucky #2 is the one.
Suzanne - the PIO shots are my least favorites, but they did get better after a while.
Brenda - I hope it's lucky for you, too! You'll just be a couple days behind me with the Lupron. :)
Best of luck to you! :)
