I feel like I'm still trying to keep everyone here straight in my head. I'll head over there and do a bit of back reading :)</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: Good luck... I hope you're already pregnant without having to do anything else! We went straight from TTC naturally to IVF, so I'm not sure how long you'd have to wait.</p> <p>@Happygal: Yes!!! I hope March 7th is a really happy day!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-schedule#post-1402338 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:06:45 +0000 FaithFertility 1402338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, IVF seems to move fast, I really like that your TWW is really only 9-10 days ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-schedule#post-1402214 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:08:09 +0000 Happygal 1402214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!!!

I hope this is your cycle!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-schedule#post-1400616 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 11:51:53 +0000 BSB 1400616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, cool. Great thread. Thanks for starting. I was just wondering about IVF timelines. I'm on my TWW on my 3rd and last IUI so I was wondering how soon my IVF cycle would start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-schedule#post-1400566 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 11:42:28 +0000 twodoghouse 1400566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for getting your schedule! I bet it's starting to feel real now! This is a lot of information, but here's what my schedule looked like:</p> <p>(Started BCP one month prior to this)<br /> 7/28: Started baby aspirin, continued BCP, prenatal vit, parlodel (for high prolactin)<br /> 7/29: Baseline ultrasound, stayed on all the meds<br /> 7/31: Stopped BCP, started Lupron and Dexamethasone, continued aspirin, prenatal and parlodel (continued this for a while...)<br /> 8/8: Baseline bloodwork (also started my period this day), everything continues as usual<br /> 8/13: Started stims (225 units of Follistim in evening), still doing Lupron, Dex, prenatal and Parlodel<br /> 8/15: Dropped to 150 units Follistim, added .5 vial Menopur, continued other meds<br /> 8/19: First monitoring appointment and follicles were nearly there! Did Follistim and Menopur as usual. Started Z-Pack. Continued Lupron, Dex, prenatal, Parlodel.<br /> 8/20: Monitoring and dr gave us instructions for trigger. Only took Z-Pack, Parlodel, prenatal and trigger this day.<br /> 8/21: No injections today!<br /> 8/22: Egg retrieval! Started PIO injections and prog suppositories. Continued these, plus Parlodel until 12 weeks pregnant.</p> <p>Good luck! Keep posting questions if you have them. It can be so stressful and many ladies here have gone through IVF and been successful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-schedule#post-1400516 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 11:32:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1400516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, good luck! Looks like we need to revive the old IVF thread-there was a lot of good luck going on there :)</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-thread/page/36#post-1390251" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-thread/page/36#post-1390251</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-schedule#post-1400135 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:00:32 +0000 Shutterbug 1400135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey! I did Gonal-F 225 units and Ganirelix as well (but no Menopur). I ended up stimming for 10 days and had 5 monitoring appointments. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-schedule#post-1400095 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 09:47:24 +0000 thisisme 1400095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got my schedule from my doctor! So excited that we're able to start this cycle! We have an appointment this afternoon to go over it:</p> <p>02/05/14 Baseline sonogram before starting stimulation </p> <p>02/10/14 If your ovaries are suppressed you will begin:<br /> Baby Aspirin 81 mg one tablet by mouth a day and continue daily</p> <p>Prenatal Vitamin (continue daily)<br /> PM: Gonal-F 225 units subcutaneous injection.<br /> Mix Menopur 1 vial or 75 units subcutaneous injection</p> <p>Repeat the same dosage of medications daily until next appointment.</p> <p>02/14/14 Sonogram /blood</p> <p>02/15/14 Begin Ganirelix Acetate subcutaneous injection one a day every morning </p> <p>We will call you with further instructions regarding your medication dosage and follow up visits after your blood results are known.</p> <p>02/20/14 Tentative Date of Egg Retrieval</p> <p>02/25/14 Tentative Date of Embryo Transfer</p> <p>03/07/14 Blood Pregnancy Test (!!!)</p> <p>For those of you who have already done an IVF cycle, does this look pretty close to what you did? How many monitoring appointments did you have while on stims?</p> <p>Now I'm off to Google what all of these meds are! </p>
