Well any day now...

AF will show and I'll be starting BCP's for our first IVF cycle.  Once she shows and I start the BCP's DH and I have to go in and have our IVF orientation with the Dr. and thats when I will get all my Rx's etc.  I'm excited but also really nervous for this next step.  Any advice on what questions I need to ask during the orientation?  I know I will probably be ovrerwhelmed that day and forget what to ask if I don't write them down ahead of time!

Thank you ladies for the coninued advice and support during this next really big step!  It helps alot knowing I have you all to talk to!

    Good luck with your IVF cycle!  It is definitely scary, but exciting at the same time.  I would ask them about whether you need to stop any supplements you might be on (I was only allowed to take my PNV).  Maybe see if they recommend adding in acupuncture treatments.  You could also ask about what their goals are for number and size of follies, the plan for 3 or 5 day transfer, how many they will transfer, how they grade the embies.   

    Your pile of meds will be completely overwhelming, but try to just focus on one day at time and it's so much easier. I can't really think of anything else at the moment, but let me know if you have any questions.  Good luck!!!

    I don't have any suggestions about questions to ask, but I would say bring a list.  I have started doing this and it really helps me remember what I was going to ask.

    I hope everything goes well.  Good luck!!!

    Good luck with IVF!  You'll do great.  It's really overwhelming but just take it in stages and you'll be fine.  For questions, just ask whatever comes to your mind.  You are paying them to take care of you and answer questions so make them earn the outrageous fees you have to pay! :)
