I'm Back..IVF/CGH Prep Underway

I'm back from my holiday and I had a wonderful time! I'm looking forward to relaxing for a few more days, catching up on sleep, and catching up on all of your blogs before returning to work.

Our first (and hopefully only) IVF cycle is currently underway. I'm on day 7 or so of bcp and have my first appt/prep for Lupron appointment on Thursday. Looking forward to it but also extremely nervous. Retrieval is currently scheduled for July 15th and it will be interesting to see if my body sticks to that schedule or not. I believe I start Lupron this weekend--I have to drag out my ivf calendar again. If anyone who has been through ivf has any words of wisdom, I'm all ears.

  4. My only words of wisdom are to take care of yourself during this stressful time. And program your phone to alert you when it's time for your shots (we missed on the other day -- luckily not a critical one so we got off lucky). I also have one of those days of the week pill boxes so I can keep track of whether I've taken all my meds.

    I have my FET tentatively scheduled for 7/13 -- so here's to hoping that mid-July will be a great time for fertility treatments to work! :)

  6. I just want to say that I have been reading your blog for a few months now. Now after 3 unsuccessful IUI we are moving to IVF, I start BCP as soon as Af shows. I mostly just want to let you know that you have a cycle buddy out here in cyberville.
    This all sucks, a LOT. Here is hoping we both are done after 1 IVF!
