So our new IVF Plan is here and I’m pretty excited about it. It represents so much hope ☺.
Things are changing this go round. Let’s hope that makes the difference. My first two cycles I was on Lupron. This time I won’t be.
This cycle is called “FSH (Gonal-F) / Antagonist (Cetrotide) Plan with Birth Control Pills (BCPs)”
What a mouthful!
I still don’t understand the antagonist part, so a few Google searches are likely in my future.
Cycle 3 will include BCPs for 21 days. Followed by sonogram. Pending the results of the sonogram we will begin injections on 04/21 with an estimated egg retrieval of 05/03!
It seems pretty fast from what I remember. I need to review my old plans and see how they compare time wise. Don’t get me wrong…I’m NOT complaining, I’m quite happy about it.
I will be on Gonal-F, Cetrotide and Menopur…with an Ovidrel trigger. The only one that’s new to me is Cetrotide. Anyone have feedback or recommendations on that one? I’ll just tell myself it’s going to be a piece of cake!
The whole cycle. CAKE!!! 💗💟💞
So we already have our sonogram appointment set up for 04/18. We’ll also be signing all the consent forms at this appointment. You know…it’s like buying a damn house!
Anyway, that’s the news. I’ll be happy and hopeful for tonight. I wonder if new things will happen at acupuncture since this is all getting going, will let you all know if so. It’s hard to believe this will be our 3rd egg retrieval in less than a year.
Wowza IVF you sure know how to rock a girl’s world!
Sleep tight. xoxo
