IVF Protocol

So here it is.  With the start of my period today...we are ready to go with starting the IVF process and our calendar.

Since we are doing IVF with PGS, there are only so many spots available at our clinic each month. We had to push everything off a month, so here's our plan...

Been on a slew of vitamins since 12/1/2012 - DHEA, Vitamin B, C, D, LCartine, Co-Q, Fish Oil, Prenatal (this one for 2+ years)...

12/31/2012 - Period Arrives
1/1/2013 - Start 4mg Estrace
2/11/2013 - Begin 10mg Provera daily for 7 days
2/17/2013 - Stop Estrace/Provera
2/22/2013 - If no period, call.  Begin BCP
3/05/2013 - Last BCP
3/05/2012 - Supression ultrasound and blood tests
3/07/2013 - DH and I take Z-Pak
3/08/2013 - Begin Dexamethasone, continue prenatal and start baby aspirin daily

Send off for PGS testing. FX!! FET 6-8 weeks later.

So there it is. I know plans change...but it feels good to have something down and in writing. :)

  1. Sounds like we're on similar protocols,:)

    I've been on DHEA, CoQ10, Vitamin D , and a prenatal (along with my Synthroid) for the past month. I just started up my MDL twice a day, w/Follistim & Menopur and will start Tev Tropin on Wednesday. TT is the same as Saizen essentially.
