IVF consent review yesterday morning, followed by a long meeting with our IVF coordinator to go over the schedule.
1 week from yesterday, Lupron starts. On 1/23, BCP stops (hurray, I canNOT wait to get off it, it makes me feel like crap), then a week later, stims, a week later retrieval, and a few days later than that transfer. Should be done with everything except the Great American Waiting Game by 2/14. I actually think it would be awesome if the transfer took place on Valentine’s Day.
Man, a whole month from today, I will just be entering the 2WW. I’m so sick of this entire waiting process.
Jen went over how to do injections, which I think made DH feel better. It’s the mixing of the meds in their little bottles that was worrying me, not the actual injections themselves. We also have a DVD for the finer points of it (getting out air bubbles, etc) so now I think we’ll be ok.
What worries me most is A) OHSS and B) huge bloating. My pants are pretty tight as they are. I actually went out and bought a couple more pairs 2 sizes up at TJ Maxx this week hoping it would help, and yet, they’re not THAT loose on me. I’m probably wearing the wrong size regularly, sigh….
As for meds, I currently have sitting in my house:

As for meds, I currently have sitting in my house:
- Leuprolide Acetate (generic for Lupron) with needles
- Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) with needles
- Crinone
- Doxycline Hyclate (for day of retrieval I think)
- Medrol (steroid, not sure for what)
- Phernegan (anti-nausea medication)
- Bravelle (stimulating drugs) with needles.
