The ball is finally rolling!!

Hello ladies, I just went Friday for my antral follicle u/s and bloodwork. Scheduled for Wed to have saline u/s. After that just waiting on results and then birth control I think! This is such a process! I finally feel a bit more excited and not so overwhelmed. I will be going to an IVF info night on Tuesday which I'm sure will overwhelm me all over again!

My RE closes down for 2 wks in June! I am hoping that they time everything just right so I'm not supppose to be getting my egg retieval done. Just the (embriologist side closes). DH has to go for Mesa/Tesa due to low #'s. Hes not thrilled! lol He meets with the urologist on Wed and gets all his male bloodwork done as well.

Also I was wondering if any of you went thru different pharmacies other than the ones the Re's recommend. I have a friend who cut her med prices in half by almost 2000. One more thing, have any of you used the attain IVF program? I was wondering how long it takes to be approved. It seems like a pretty good deal just because of the unknown. Thank you to all who reply and good luck to all!

Good luck to you!

Re the timing, you should ask whether they can keep you on BCP or lupron to time your cycle so that there is no risk of the office being closed.  They kept me on just lupron for about 4 extra days to make sure my RE was back for vacation in time for my ER.

Also, I used Freedom Pharmacy for a lot of my meds.  I believe Alexander Twins Pharmacy had the best prices for Follistim and Freedom Pharmacy had the best prices for Gonal-f.  I don't know on the other meds but you can always post here and ladies will chime in on where they found the best prices.

Re Attain, I don't know anything about it but you might want to create a separate post on just that.

GL!
