Calendar has arrived!!!

It's been slow moving lately.  I've been taking my BCP & baby aspirin for a few weeks now.  My May IVF cycle calendar & consents all came last week.  I was a bit taken back though.  When we had the WTF happened appt with Dr H after the failed cycle, he said he wasn't going to change anything on the protocol.  Well my calendar says otherwise.....he increased my Follistim from 225 to 375!  What?!?!  So I decided to send an email to my coordinator.  I suffered from mild OHSS on my first IVF and it was no pice of cake so I don't want to walk down that road again.  She responds with, "Dr reviewed everything & he wants you on the 375.  Blood work from Jan showed you could've used more Follisitm."  OK, then why wasn't that said in our consult??  Then she says that I shouldn't worry about OHSS & to leave that up to them.  Yeah, OK!!  I guess I will just pump the Gatorade from the beginning to avoid it.

Most of my meds came on Monday & the few remaining ones are arriving tomorrow.  After that I start Lupron on Arpil 20th, go for my E2 draw on the 28th, and stims start on May 3rd.  I had to have "the talk" with my boss today.  This is the 3rd supervisor I've had since starting ttc so it's a pain in the butt to have to explain things.  When I first told her, she didn't know what IVF was LOL  She was cool about it though.

Other than that, school is keeping me busy!  Until next time.....
