YAY - we have our "IVF calendar" and the action starts tonight! I updated to the timeline on the right of the page, but to recap:
Tonight I'll start taking the BCPs...yes, tonight! WOW! Next Monday DH & I will start our 5 day course of antibiotics, then my saline u/s and pelvic evaluation/trial transfer will be Wednesday 9/29. I'll stop the BCPs on 10/4 and go on 10/8 for my baseline ultrasound. If everything looks good, I will start my stim injections that day. The target dates for egg retrieval/embryo transfer will be the week of 10/18 but of course that will vary based on how my follicles are growing and after fertilization, how the embryos are doing.
My meds are being ordered so I should hear from the pharmacies involved within a week. I'm certainly not looking forward to the giant price tag that comes with those meds, but receiving them and then watching the videos again on how to mix the meds and do the injections will remind us that this is all happening really, really soon! I'll be sure to describe and photograph all of the meds involved so you have a better picture (pardon the pun) of the quantity of stuff we're talking about.
To say I'm excited would be an understatement. Excited, nervous, hopeful - all at the same time...and I'm sure there'll be a lot more of emotions to come.
