Starting my first IVF cycle

I have officially started my first IVF cycle, I am on BCP and awaiting my schedule from the NP at my RE's office. We are doing IVF with ICSI and PGS due to the pathology from our last MC. I'm not sure what to expect and we started earlier than I had planned so I'm dying to get the schedule to see if we can still squeeze in a vacation prior to the stim/monitoring phase!! If we can't, no big deal but I'd like a little getaway if possible. Is anyone else just getting started?

    We plan to do another round in a couple months. The process isn't bad at all. In fact, I found in fascinating! Wishing you the best of luck!

    Best of luck @dukegirlsc. I am near the end of my first ivf cycle. We are awaiting our PGS results. I took BCPs for 2+ weeks at the beginning primarily to help with scheduling. They said i could take them for 2-3 weeks and pick my start date within that time frame (it was a huge help since we were traveling from out of town). So maybe you can tweak your schedule to get a vacation in?

    dolphin012, thanks! I hope your PGS results come back with great news for you! I emailed the NP at my RE's office again today asking for my schedule so that I can hopefully make plans. As long as they aren't monitoring me the week of the 3rd we are heading to Mexico for some R&R!!
