IVF Calendar

We finally received our official calendar for the upcoming cycle. I am doing the antagonist protocol again. I am so excited! I called to order my meds and K ordered hers too. We are both very excited to get this cycle underway.

Here's the plan for IVF #2: (it doesn't feel right to call it IVF #5 since this is only my 2nd ER)

5/12: K starts lupron
5/27: My baseline u/s
5/30: I start stims (Men.pur & Brave.lle)
6/3: My 1st follicle tracking scan (u/s)
6/10: Estimated ER
6/15: Estimated ET to K
6/25: Beta #1
6/27: Beta #2

This cycle is going to be a little different being actively involved in the process, but I think it will make me feel more a part of things. It's not that I didn't feel like I was involved in the last cycle with K because I did, but I felt a lot of guilt that K was the one getting poked and prodded while I sat by watching. Since we're doing an ER this time, I'll get plenty of poking and prodding and will likley surpass K in that department. However, I still consider myself fortunate not to have to endure the horrid PIO. I'm already feeling bad for K's bum! Do you remember the photos of her welts and bruises from the last cycle? I know K's a trooper, but damn that looks like it hurts! The ball is rolling ....
