The latest update - with all the nitty gritty details ;-) My DR said on Saturday that I'd start my period in 3 days....well I showed her! It took me 5 days! LOL After I wished for the darn thing - I wish it would go away now because I've got the worst headache ever and horrible cramps. I really can't wait to get pregnant again and get rid of it for a good year or so! I don't miss it at all! I went in today to get my BCP, prescriptions, and calendar for IVF #2 (hopefully the last due to a happy ending!!):
She's putting me on birth control pills for 4 weeks instead of 3, due to the holidays I'm guessing. SO I start that on Sunday (12/2) and my last pill will be 12/29. I should start the IVF cycle on 12/31 or 1/1 at the latest. She's keeping me on the Repronex and Antagon protocol but "upping" my dose of Repronex. My estimated egg retrieval date is January 11th and estimated transfer date is January 14th. I am planning to take the entire week of transfer off work between sick time, vacation days, and 1 unpaid day if I have to. I'm kind of hoping retrieval will be pushed back 1 day so I won't have to use the unpaid day.
Anyway - I'm taking the week off in hopes of really relaxing and giving this our best shot since it looks like this may be our last "fresh" IVF due to insurance $$. I'm waiting on the report from the insurance but when I spoke to them on the phone it sounds like we'll only have enough for 1 more IVF and 1 FET (hoping we don't have to get to that because I don't trust the darn things anymore!). SO lots of eating well, yoga, meditations...anything else I can think of!!! NO falls this time! I'm going to make Nick hold my hand anytime the ground may be slick! We're going to give this our best shot yet. Just wanted to update you. I'm excited and looking forward to it. Also looking forward to happy holidays without IVF stress!!! :-)
