Update on Scheduling

We are plugging right along with the meds calender and scheduling. I stopped the BCP last Thursday which has brought on my lovely period early and today I have a doctor's appointment for blood and ultrasound. How gross is that to have an ultrasound while Aunt Flo is visiting? YUCK! Sorry, too much information! On Thursday, 8/7 I will decrease the Lupron injections to 5 units per day and will begin the Vivelle patches and estrace pills 2ce a day. Those are meant to help thicken the uterine lining to prepare my body for the best "environment" to accept the pregnancy. I am still waiting for the remaining calendar for the other meds which will come as soon as they determine a retrieval date. We were concerned for awhile that the transfer might fall on 8/20 which is a day I can't miss work (our annual meeting day for 120ppl.) But luckily, R said she talked to the IVF nurse yesterday and she reassured us again that they will work around it. They are very hopeful that we will have a 5 day transfer anyway which means the embryos would be transferred into me 5 days after they are retrieved. If that is the case, we would be looking at Friday, 8/22 for the transfer. Otherwise, if the quality is not as high for the embryos then we would do a 3 day transfer, 8/20 in the evening. Everything is dependant on when the actual retrieval is so we'll have to just wait and see. I will add an update soon about the dr. appointment today. Wish me luck!
