Meds ordered

Ah yes, to blog about my experience with IVF...
Okay, so today is CD1, (for those of you who don't know fertility lingo yet, that means cycle day 1) and I promised I would start posting from day 1 of this IVF journey, so here it goes. I called my NP today, b/c today is day 1 and that is when the doc said to call. Well, this must have got her looking at my chart, because she calls me back and starts saying she is going to order my meds, and that I should be getting a call from the pharmacy and she just starts spouting off all of these instructions. I am thinking wow, this is really moving fast for day 1. Then she says that I will begin Lupron injections next week, and we have IVF class on Wed. of next week, and she said she would give me the instructions with the lupron when we were at our class. So I get off the phone and start thinking, why am I startin Lupron on Day 6 of this cycle, when the template I got from their office says I do not start until day 17?

After talking to a couple of people I decide to call the NP back. Well to make a long story short, Dr. Hill had put in the chart on the day that he saw us for consult that he was giving me BCP's to start on day 3. Well, the nurse thought that meant that CD1 was when we saw Dr. Hill on April 28th. So she was throughly confused, finally I got through to her that just today was day 1 and she was like "oh my gosh I am so sorry", I will be sending you another calendar, I already sent one to you, so that one will be wrong! So I kind of have to laugh that from Day 1 even things are screwed up, hopefully this is not a sign of what is to come....

I guess the good news is that my drugs will be here early!!

Ok, I just have to post that God must be watching out for me, because two different friends that have already done IVF, had left over meds, and gave them to me for free!! I have 2100 units of follistim, so I only had to order a 900IU cartridge, so I saved about $2000 on medications, thanks to my friends, that has to be God working his magic in all of this.

Other Misc. stuff: My hydrosonogram is scheduled on May14th, and our IVF class is May 13th.
Looks like I will begin BCP's on Saturday and the Lupron injections will begin around the 22nd of May.
Very excited to be getting started, Coy and I are both nervous, but excited!!

Thats all I got for Day 1...
