More plans. Should I even pencil them in?
This is a half-assed period, but I called the clinic to say, “Hey, I’m bleeding-like. Guess I’ll call Saturday the start of the slightly-heaver-than-spotting bleeding.”
I got a call back asking if I’d started the pills up yet, which I have not, an I explained the whole having to go off the pill to bleed more in order to stop bleeding sort of thing. Okay, no, I didn’t really explain it – it’s just confusing. But in any case, my last pill was Wednesday, so I start again tonight. It appears they are considering today, the first pill, as CD1. That’s confusing, too. I didn’t ask for an explanation from them – I figure we’re all evenly clueless.
In any case, a day or two won’t matter. It goes as thus:
January 12 (today!) – Start BCP
January 29 – Start Lupron
February 1 – Last BCP
February 6 – Expect AF, then go in for baseline and start stims
Retrieval and Transfer will be during the week of February 15-21
Beta will be somewhere right around March 4.
I’ll point out that Devin’s birthday is March 6. Goddamnit. Not this again. Bad news right before an important date is not my idea of a fun time.
I think I’ll be scheduling vacation for the end of March/beginning of April to go visit my parents. I just need something good to look forward to… something that I’m not gambling on. I just want to go home, sleep in my old bed, play with my dog and my brother’s pup, and forget about all this shit. I can’t wait.
Yes, schedule things in, stop putting everything on hold for “if”…at least that is what I am trying to do. *hugs* Hoping for more for you
Ugh. the timing of that beta really is crummy…
That beta date does suck, but maybe it won’t suck. A girl can hope, right?
Also, we may be within days of our cycles, I am still working on the details with my RE though as I am an IVF virgin. Started BCP Friday though. Egads.
I am hopeful that the timing is a good sign that a BFP will save you from additional grief on Mar 6th. It’ll be a tough day either way of course, but a BFP will make it a lot easier to bear I think, and maybe that’s why the universe has your cycle lined up the way it is.
Hang in there- what an incredibly painful journey this has been for you. You have my deepest sympathy and my deepest hopes for a BFP in your near future!
