Yeah - that is alot of stuff - who knew you needed all of these drugs to make a baby. Good thing we are going to a class to teach us how to use all of this stuff - because right now I am clueless. I did take a picture - I hope to post it tomorrow.

the meds sound like fun! hoping and praying for you and your future baby!
I know what you mean by feeling "clueless" we'll have to compare notes next week after class...LOL
I really dont think anyone understands the process of IVF until the drugs arrive and its underway! Today (the day before my retrieval) is the first day in weeks I have not had to inject myself with something or another! Good luck!
I know what you mean about the meds. after our Injection class.. I was on *info over-load* and couldn't remember everything.
like Jennifer said- Once everything is underway.. Things well make more since:)
I did Bravelle & menopur too.. It took a few cycles to get the right combo/amounts for me to respond enough. BUT when They DID get my med combo right. Everything went perfect, and it worked!! I still almost can't beleive it.
Hoping and praying that everything go's Great for you... and you get you a BFP very soon;)
Hugs,

Yeah, they never talked about all that stuff in biology class! ;) It's a little overwhelming, isn't it? GOOD LUCK!!!
That is insane. We haven't got to that point yet. We are still in the testing phase. Sounds very overwhelming!
AGH! that is a LOT of stuff! I have my 'ivf class' in December for us to begin the process in January.
Good luck!!!
