I about had a panic attack getting ready to go to the RE's office and thankfully for my fellow IF friends they helped me out.
I cried, I wasn't sure why I was crying but I cried and it felt good. I almost feel as if this is the end of the road and in actuality it may be. I have decided to stay strong and positive throughout this and if I need to keep myself in a bubble and not deal with the outside world for the next 6 weeks so I can get a BFP, then I will.
The visit went well, blood work was done and ultrasound as well. I made my next appointment for the IVF class, got my rx for BCP and collected the hubby's SA specimen cup and instructions for him and I went on my way. My RE emailed me my protocol and tentative schedule which looks like this:
February18-Start BCP
March 9 -Take last BCP
March 12 -Return for suppression check (blood work and ultrasound)
March 14- Begin Follistim Pen 225 units & Menopur 75 units (1 vial in 0.5 ml saline) in the evening
March 18, 20,22, etc- Return to the office for follicle monitoring with blood work and us (sometime during this week I will also start Ganirelix 250 mcg every evening)
March 25-30 - Egg retrieval most likely during this week and transfer 3 or 5 days later!!!!!!
It's ALL so real now! I will continue with seeing my therapist who is a lifesaver and has helped me so much through all of my life moments and trials and tribulations which I will get to tell you sometime in the near future and I will also continue to do acupuncture (which is phenomenal and SO relaxing).
