Dr appts today...

love2b_mrst

The RE appt was great.  It's so nice to know what's going on and when everything will start happening.  I'm starting 5ml of lupron on Jan 22, last day of bcp's is Jan 26 and I go in for a supression check on Jan 31.  If all looks good I will start stims (150iu menopur and 150iu of follistim) Feb 5 and estimated ER/ET is the week of Feb 14!  So we'll make a little Valentine baby(ies).

I asked the doctor about my lining and being proactive in doing something to help it thicken up.  He doesn't like patches, so I'm doing baby asprin and viagra suppositories 4x a day.  That's something new for me so hopefully it will do the trick.

Some interesting things about this practice...they don't do a beta until 17 days past ER.  That is forever!  And no u/s until 7 weeks.  I am planning on being pregnant (power of positive thinking) and I will die waiting for both of these.  Oh well, if nothing else IF should be teaching me to be patient.

This afternoon we went to therapist and it was pretty good.  She had some weird things, but mostly good.  It felt good to talk to someone who gets it as she dealt with IF herself.  We booked another appt for closer to stims starting to get us in a good frame of mind for the most important part of the cycle.

That is great! And my RE also does Betas 17 days after ET! It is torture not going to lie! And now that I think about it I believe they wait until 7 weeks for u/s as well.

Wow...17 days..that's crazy!

Sounds like you are in good hands, though! GL!

I'm so happy that everything went well and you feel comfortable with them.  Yay for Valentine's Day babies!!

It sounds like your protocol is exactly what he wants me to do, minus the viagra.  Maybe that's his go-to approach for IVF#2?  Very interesting. 

And yeah, the 17 day beta was tough.  I actually got lucky and had mine at 16 days b/c it would have fallen on a Saturday.

Yay! So happy you had 2 successful appts. 17 days past ER is going to be torture but when you get that BFP all that waiting will be worth it. Can't wait to hear about your Valentine's Day baby!

My RE does late betas too, it drives me crazy!!  I always just test on my own.

Sounds like you are in great hands.

My clinic does betas at 16 past ER.  Not sure about when they do the first u/s

GL! Sounds like a good plan. Sorry about the 17 days tho!

Yay! Sounds like a great appointment and I think we might be cycle buddies. If everything goes according to plan I should have my ER /ET that same week. My Dr. does a beta 14 days past ER though, not sure if I could make it to 17 days! Glad everything went well with the therapist too!

Jlynn3

Sounds like a couple of great appointments!

17 days - wow!  But it will be worth the wait  

inlove731
