Back on the IVF pony

My clinic called yesterday to let me know the results of the doctor pow wow. They feel that I responded so well last time (50 something follicles, with 22 eggs retrieved, pregnancy and live birth) that they don't foresee a need to change my protocol. On day 21 of my cycle they will have me do blood work to make sure I've ovulated and then I can start the Lupron that day. They also need my husband to have blood tested. So, just like that we are off to the races! Day 21 of my cycle is next Wed, so I have until then to talk with the financial office and make sure that we are all paid up and we are good to go. Trying is better than not trying, having it work is better than it not working, but you can't get it to work if you don't get to try. Here we go!!!

  2. I always think the pre-lupron phase is actaully the most exciting. Your not caught up in the numbers game yet and full of hope. May that hope and joy stay with you through the entire trip :) Good Luck.
