We have a plan!! I am so excited!! First i have to tell about the appt.......we got there right on time, they took us in right away. The nurse did her routine, explaining the procedure,etc....she was done in about 40min. The financial person and embryologist were at a national conference,so they could not meet with us(as per usual consults), so she told us we would just need to meet with doc, then she would give us the dates for everything.........so we waited, and waited, and waited! The nurse was so frustrated, she came back in and had us go draw blood for standard HIV tests, etc. We did that, still no doctor.....so then the nurse came in again and decided to give us our potential cycle dates, she said she was pretty sure of the dates but may have to tweek them a little if doc changed something. Again we waited, an hour later, the doc finally came in!! (Jeff was about to blow a fuse by then!) Anyway, she gave us what she thought of our chances (gave us a 35% chance just based on my age alone, but said i did have a higher chance since i carried two babies already, so she knows i can do it!) The nurse came back in and stated that the dates she gave us were correct.....so now we just had to get some Rx filled and be on our way! I took 5 Rx to the pharmacy........to my suprise, most of them were covered.......including the Lupron (which runs $200 for a 2week kit), the most expensive thing was the z-pac that jeff and i both have to take.......$46 a piece. So total we spend $115 (91 being the zpac). That was awesome news!!
Here is the plan:
cd3 (10/19) start BCP's
cd4 DH and I do Z-pac antibiotics for 5 days
cd11 (10/27) baby-asprin, Dexamethasone and Lupron inject
11/1- stop taking bcp's
11/10~ 1st suppression scan, sonohystogram, trial transfer......MONEY DUE
11/13~ Start stims
11/18~ scan
11/24~ estimated Egg Retrieval
11/29~ estimated Egg transfer
12/7~ Beta!!
So probably doing egg retrieval on Thanksgiving day!! The nurse told us that she hoped we didnt have big plans.........Jeff told her that we were hosting a big dinner and that i was doing all the cooking, the nurse about had a heart attack....she said" YOU CANT DO THAT, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO DO THAT!!" Jeff just laughed and laughed on that one!!! looks like I will be home in bed while jeff takes the kids to visit family! I am to be on bedrest for 2 days!........
