- Wednesday, 13 April - Ultrasound and Labs (maybe I am)
- Friday, 15 April - Ultrasound and Labs - Possible Trigger.
- Note: have intercourse with condom. If I remember correctly a condom isn't very fun to have sex with - it's all wrinkly and squishy, and wet, and floppy - can I have intercourse with Jakobe instead?

You have a calendar!!! Here we go!
ReplyDeleteI am also super impressed with the cost of your meeds... We paid about twice that. I need to update our costs for this IVF cycle on my blog. Maybe that will be a good project for tomorrow.
Yay for having a calendar! We will be on a similar calendar - just off a few days! Hope this cycle works for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a calendar !! Great to have all those dates set out and everything organised :)) All my thoughts are with you for this cycle... here all the way xoxo
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your calendar. I remember how exciting that was. My clinic wasn't quite as specific with all the dates, you are luck to have all that so mapped out!
ReplyDeleteI will be posting my schedule later today but our timelines are so similar! I'm getting more excited as I get closer to actually 'doing' something. I wish you nothing but positive results!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great step in the process! It seems like the calendar makes it all real! Please keep posting-it seems to be the only way I learn what's in store for us. Our 1st IVF try is April/May.

Stopping over from ICLW from #63 & #153. Congrats on the calendar for your IVF! I'm curious about why they want to do a freeze all? Its great to finally have a plan, huh? Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteHello there! I'm happy for your calendar, it gives some structure to a really chaotic process. I'm crossing fingers, toes, and everything that everything goes well! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW!

ReplyDeleteThe reason for the freeze all is that my clinic will only do transfers if you have an expanded blast on day 5. if it's not quite expanded on day 5, then thy give it an additional day to expand, and then freeze it so that it can be introduced into a day 5 endometrium on a later cycle.
If I am repeating myself forgive me because I could have sworn I'd already commented about the fact that we are cycle buddies, but now I can't find the post. So anyway, it looks like our cycles will be very close together! Look forward to following this road with you!
