I got my meds today. It's embarrassing after spending over a year on this site, I still can't figure out how to post a picture. There is one in my blog.
We also found out that we have to do ICSI and have to pay tomorrow. I had my first honest-to-God IVF freakout this afternoon when it dawned on me how much money I am giving out tomorrow.
AF must show up by Thursday. How do make sure this happens?

Congrats on the meds!! My RE said as long as my baseline showed I was suppressed, then it didn't matter if I had a period or not. I am on a long Lupron protocol, if that makes a difference.
I spotted for a couple of days, but wouldn't say I had a period.
Me: 28; DH: 35

Everyone welcome!
Woohoo for meds! Mine will be here tomorrow!!
*handing over the voodoo tampon as well, just in case you REALLY need your period*
Thanks! I am instantly regretting my decision to not get the full amount of Menopur. I only have 6 vials. There is no way that is going to last me....right?
And they said I didn't need a full period, only spotting.
They ordered me 8 vials. I am doing one a day with follistim 300iu.

Everyone welcome!
No idea on the Menopur - how large are your vials and what dose are you taking?
I just took my last pill yesterday and have baseline Thursday. My RE didn't mention anything about me having a period, spotting or not.
WooHoo about getting your meds!! It's sort of a relief to get it all in the house
Oh, and you just reminded me that I have to pay on Thursday- I think I've been blocking that part out. Gah!!
June- Femara 7.5mg + Trigger + IUI = BFN August- Lap & Hysteroscopy = Blocked & Partially Blocked Tubes
September- Femara 5mg = CX - No Response on Left = BFN October- 100mg Clomid + Trigger + TI = BFN

SURPRISE! BFP 8/8/16 EDD 4/1/17
I have 75 mg vials. My plan is to take 75mg of Menopur and 225 of Follistim. Fluck me that is a lot of drugs.
That's nothing! I'm going to be on 225 iu of Menopur and 225 of Follistim!!
But, 6 vials definitely does not sound like enough. According to my paperwork, I'm getting 30 vials (if they give them to me in 75 iu size) so that I can use it for 10 days and actually that even seems too little to me as for my first IVF I was stimming for 11 days.
Ok your siggy really freaked me out because I have a cat that looks JUST like yours, and I think we have the same bedspread. Random!!!
