- Celebrate cd 1 and the beginning of IVF journey with the second ever Vodka Night. (It's also the eve of the unfulfilled due date for Baby #1.)
- Figure out how to use the NuvaRing (I mean, I know it's standard protocol, but does anyone else find it weird that IVF requires the use of BIRTH CONTROL to try to get pregnant?).
- Pester Dr. Gorgeous's nurses. Find out if Microdose Lupron is really the way to go.
- Order drugs. Hope that drugs really will be as cheap as they appear to be. This will be a several step process.
- Transfer money here there and everywhere to pay for IVF. Another several step process.
- Schedule mock embryo transfer.
- Deal with the cryobank and get another A.R.T. specimen. Another several step process.
- Continue taking Folgard, prenatal, and aspirin.
- Stick to my diet. Cut coffee. Add back in decaf green tea.
- Practice yoga at home.
- Go about the rest of life (writing, enjoying LG, taking a short road trip, playing with out of town guests [yay for best friend L!])

Things to Do (IVF suppression version)

Am I strange that I loved how busy IVF made me...and that I miss having something to do towards reaching my goal?
ReplyDeleteBusy girl! Take a shot of that vodka for me. I'll be doing it in spirit.
ReplyDeleteYes, I find it very wierd that in order to get pregnant one takes birth control pills.. [though luckily for me I'm doing a short protocol and not doing BCP].
ReplyDeleteBilly, what's your protocol going to be? Mine's fairly short (10 days birth control plus Ganirelix) compared to a regular lupron protocol, I think...
ReplyDeleteis :-) [already started]
ReplyDeleteI started with gonal-f, but at a higher dosage than my previos "just" medicated cycles, then moved on to menopour and menopour together with cetrotide.
The doctor did prescribe me with BCPs, but that was just incase I didn't get an approval for IVF (it was very last minute), so as not to wastet a whole month (i.e I would have taken the pills for two weeks and then start with the gonal etc.). I'm happy that I did manage to get approved on time and therfore didn't need BCPs.
Glad to hear you'll be just 10 days on them! Here's for a successful IVF cycle for the both of us!
Interesting, Billy, that you're not being suppressed at all. Must be nice to get on with the IVF without all that time a-wasting. Of course, I can't even do an IUI without some kind of suppression! Anyway, best wishes!
ReplyDeleteMurgdan, I like the busy-ness, too, in a way. Just don't want it to take over my summer!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything.
