Got my Treatment Schedule!

edited September 2013 in Trouble TTC
I was so excited to get my super-o IUI schedule in the mail! I think this is what some of you call your protocol? Not sure. 

Anyways, it doesn't have allll the specifics, but it says I'll be injecting Gonal F starting with 75 IU on day 2. I stop the BC pill on the 8th and then my first BW/ultrasound is on the 9th, with appts every 2-3 days after that until an IUI somewhere around October 22nd. Originally, they had told me they were probably going to delay this 'batch' of IUI-ers until November, so I'm so ridiculously excited that it will be done by mid October! The ooooonly tiny complaint I have is that by ending BCP on October 8th, I'm almost guaranteed to get AF during my 5 yr anniversary :(  But hopefully it means it will be our last anniversary just the two of us! I just booked DH a surprise trip to Vegas to see UFC in November, so either that will be our 'anniversary' celebration or our BFP celebration! :)

Anyways, sorry if this is typical/boring, but I'm like a kid at Christmas today! If you have any insight/advice, I'm a sponge!
30 yrs, healthy & TTC since April 2010 
DH 32yrs & healthy
*unexplained infertility* 

Regularly access alternative medicine to supplement a lack of resources in our geographical area.
  • Three rounds of clomid (50mg days 3-7) were useless.
  • IUI#1 w/clomid & HCG in May 2013, BFN.
  • IUI#2 w/clomid & HCG on July 23rd. BFN.
  • IUI #3 in August cancelled last minute, due to lab error.
  • IVF#1 - Started Gonal F stims October 13 2013 for IUI. Over-responded with too many follicles, so converted to IVF. Retrieval October 29th - got 5 eggs, 4 fertilized. Had 2 perfect little embryos transferred on day 3 (Nov. 1). The remaining 2 didn't survive to freeze. Got our BFN on November 13th 2013.
  • IVF#2 - Started stims August 21st. Triggered with Suprefact, started on dostinex due to risk of OHSS. Retrieval September 5th - got 27 eggs! 21 embryos on day 3. Embryos deteriorated quickly. ESet 5day blast on Sept 10. No embryos high enough quality to freeze. BFN came Sept. 22.

Reserved a semi-known proven donor in August .

Waiting for consult/screening and protocols with estimated fresh cycle timing in October
