MY IVF CALENDAR, holler.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love making lists? Lists make everything more fun, so here's my IVF callie with the dates of everything as I go along:
Blood test/ultrasound - prescribed birth control and thyroid med to help egg quality.
10 days of BC
9/2/12 - AF arrives
9/4/12 - Cycle Day 3 blood tests and ultrasound to check ovaries, lining, etc.
Day 3 - Begin injections of Menopur & Follistim at night/Husband begins Doxycycline.
9/7/12- Day 6 - followup appointment to check on progress.
9/9/12- Day 8 - 30 small eggs less than ten
Day 9 - belly starts to feel tender
9/11/12 - Day 10 - 3 follicles (my nurse said that my ovaries have "woken up." Crazy sleeping ovaries), around 25 less than 10. Doctor says no retrieval this weekend (it's only Tuesday) and I guess you can say I'm a bit bummed about that. Oh well. Time will fly. It always does!
9/13/12- Day 12 - 22 follicles!!! Take a ganirlex shot asap and continue with meds. Apparently I'll be triggering soon. Yay.
9/14/12 - Day 13 - Trigger with 2 Ovidrel shots back to back.
9/16/12 - Day 15 - Egg retrieval = 19 eggs.
9/17/12 - 7 eggs fertilized
9/21/12 - Cycle CANCELED. 2 Morulas and 1 almost blastocyst. Not enough for a transfer.
Updated to add: The almost blast did become a dynamite 6BB blastocyst...just a day too late. Had to be frozen since my clinic will only transfer blasts.
