The appointment went well. I sure am glad she had it all mapped out on a calendar for me. There sure are a lot of shots to remember. LOL

bcp july 17-30
lupron 10 units july 24-aug7
lupron 5 units aug8-19
follistim 225 starting aug 9
menopur 75 starting aug 9
baby aspirin starting aug 9.

Do you have to take Zithromax or Methylprednisolone? Or anything else? And can I tell you that the only thing I dread about this whole process is the Endometrium after the transfer?!!! Man that stuff is nasty! LOL

yeah i have a Z pack to take.

be thankful for the Endometrium!! i had to take PIO shots my last two ivfs instead of getting the endo this time. those are not fun..i'd take nasty over 1.5 inch needles any day. LOL

Ooooooh, good point! I'd take endo over shots ANY day! I loves me some endometrium!

LOL

I got my plan today, too! I start Lupron on Tuesday. SO MUCH INFO. It's a bit overwhelming but exciting. Good luck to you!

Ladies, remember that you need to have some flexibility with these plans! Last year my first retrieval was to be a coupe days before my birthday. Guess here my birthday was spent.

It was a good day though. Your drug doses may vary or extend a day or two. But having the guideline in hand helps SO much with morale!!

Aria does have a point some peoples schedules can change, mine never have my IVF's go like clock work for me. This time we are playing it a little by ear so we'll see but for the most part your shedule shouldnt be off by more than a day or two if that.

Good Luck ladies! I cant wait to start mine!

ttb1105 · #10 July 19th, 2009, 03:57 PM

Excellent point. I always refer to the date as tentative, as anything can change. We have learned to be flexible with the dates when on the shots and IUI's in the past.

Betsyusa · #11 July 19th, 2009, 04:17 PM

Good point! My dates are also not etched in stone. But I know I start Tuesday. They pretty much told me THEY will instruct me as we go along.

You guys, this is so awesome. I am wishing each and everyone of here a big BROOKLYN HIGH FIVE. Good luck.
