I got my IVF Protocol

Here it is:

Birth Control Pills - I will be on them for 3 weeks - hope they give me a sample pack so I do not have to pay for them.

2 week kit of Lupron

36 vials of Bravelle

12 vials of Menopur

HCG - trigger shot

Progestrone in Oil - for the first two weeks then I can switch to Endometrin if I get pregnant.

The girls on the board said the Bravelle is cheaper but you have to mix the drugs yourself unlike the Follistim pen that already comes mixed. I guess that just means more work for John since he is in charge of the medication and shots.

I will call around tonight to get the prices of everything and I will post about it tomorrow.

Yay for protocols! Do you know what day you start the meds? I start my Lupron on September 16th.

If you are comfy with using leftovers check out medical garage sales. I used it and had no regrets. Try to find some one you can meet in person, it could save you a ton of $. I found Freedom pharmacy to have the best prices, also sometimes insurances picks up the trigger, bcps, and progesterone. Good luck!

GL! This all sounds like what I did except I had Follistim pen. Warning you the Menopur burns really bad going in and left some red rashes on my stomach. Use an icepack after it really helps! Can't wait to hear how it all turns out!

i loved getting the protocol and the calendar. i could get stuff ready, and really feel like i had some sort of control over something...even though you come to realize through the process that you don't really control anything :)

hope you find a sweet deal on drugs!!
