Just got back from the RE office and there is alot going on.
First of all I had to get bloodwork done but the nurse had no clue what she was doing - she has to stick me three times - I have bandages on both arms now.
Tonight I will start taking birth control pills, pre natal vitamins and baby aspirin. The nurse called in all my medication and IVP Care (where I am getting the mediation from will call me later to set up delivery and payment) She also added another medication - Estrace. But the good thing is that I am able to use all the medication that I got donated to me - which is wonderful.
On Monday I have to go in and have a Hysteroscopy - John will have to drive me there and take me home. This procedure was never mentioned to me until today and I am not happy that I have to do it and miss work. I guess it is alot like the HSG - I am not really sure.
I have my injection class on October 15th and I start my first injection Lupron on October 16th. I will take 5 units in the morning and 5 units in the evening.
On Oct 23rd I will go in for more bloodwork and an ultrasound and make sure I am ready for the other injectable drugs and then I will start taking the Bravelle and Menpour that day.
Looks like my ER and ET my be push back to the first week in November - I guess it all depends on how I respond to the medication.
I am feeling very overwhelmed right now.

Totally normal to be overwhelmed! For me it helps to mentally break the cycle into stages so I can take it in strides. I usually do BCP, injections (Lupron & stims), ER & ET week, then 2ww.
Sorry about the hysteroscopy surprise- that's no fun to be caught off guard. I've never had one or I'd tell you about it. You've been preparing for a long time and you are ready for this. You can do it :) Good luck!
I have felt overwhelmed pretty much every step of the way. IVF tends to do that to people. At least you have a plan and always remember that we are here to listen to your frustrations, rants and concerns. Keep focused as you enter into this journey as we will both have our BFP's at the finish line!
How exciting, I'll be praying for you! Don't be overwelmed, just enjoy the process and keep your body and mind calm and relaxed...because your on your way to making a baby!! Yay!
That is a lot to take in! Good luck with everything. It is really happening!!
I agree with edmo on just taking it one step at a time. That's really strange that they would somehow forget to mention an important procedure you have to have done. {{hugs}}
