My nurse called back. She is calling in my BCP now, but I will not start until August 26th. I will take the whole pack, with the exception of the white pills the last week, and will move straight into a new pack, completely bypassing another AF.
My first Lupron injection is scheduled for September 17th. SQUEE!!!!!!!
She told me she sent a packet with a to-do list of tests and things that need to be done, so I know I will be a busy girl.
I could be pregnant by Halloween. Holy schniekies!!!
I have waited so long to be mentally prepared for this step, and now I am, and the moment is upon us, and I can hardly wait to get there!!!!

Wow, that was easy.
I just heard back from D, the Donor IVF nurse. Wow, that was easy!
She told me that she did send the letter for exception to my insurance in June (sigh of relief there!), and that she is sending me a packet in the mail of a timeline checklist of things to attend to. One of these items is their insurance coordinator getting a pre-certification from my insurance. Hopefully, this will come in soon.
As for BCP, I am supposed to call D back on my first red flow day to get instructions on when to start BCP.
I am starting to get excited here! Please pray that my insurance covers me!

Helloooooooo out there!
Hello one and all!
So, yes I have been totally MIA, and for that, my ultra super emphatic apologies...again. Here's the skinny on me as of late...
-Last time we left jme, I was bowled over in pain post lap, asking for the strongest narcotic to get my nausea and just mere existence to be a blip of my unconscience. Well, turns out that I was allergic to Loritab. Who'd a thunk it, huh? So, after a switch to Darvocet, I was back to my usual self.
-At my baseline u/s post lap, everything looked beautiful, so after some convincing from Mr. jme, I decided to give one try at Follistim + IUI + Progesterone post lap. Things went well, and within 10 days, I had 5 MATURE FOLLICLES. I couldn't believe it! It was time to trigger Friday, and not once, but twice, did my RE and nurses give me the "You're at high risk for multiples" speech. It was a tad scary. but I am ready!
We triggered Friday, and on Saturday, 32 million sperm at 89% motility was inserted in my ute to attack those 5 eggs. Now, all prayers and wishes that at least one of those bad boys will fertilize and stick.
I feel more hopeful than ever. Why? Because, A. I feel with my lap being a success (4 endometrioma removed, all clear), my 5 eggs and "perfect bloodwork," per my RE, I have never had nor may I ever have a better shot at getting pregnant. I am excited at the prospect that if this cycle works, my due date would be Christmas Day. But, most importantly, I am hopeful because if this cycle doesn't work, I have plans for my life until I can try again January/February 2011. I have gotten some calls from recruiters with different career opportunities, so if I am not pregnant, I plan on taking control of that job I loathe so much and getting something else that can make my life a bit more cheerful. So, either way, I'm good and I have a plan.
So, nothing to do now, but sit and wait.....Beta # 1 is April 16th at 7:45 AM CST....
