Guess what I've been doing since Saturday?

Taking Ganirelix and estrogen pills Whisper

IVF # 7 is here! I am excited and freaked all at once...as usual. Big Smile

Flo should be here Sat. and I'll start stims after day 3 b/w.

This EPP is so different from Cornell's and I can't seem to find any info. on it anywhere. The concept is the same but the timing of the meds and the meds are a little different.

Hoping this is the ticket!
