Yep. I'm cycling, and it should be perfect. Today is my natural CD3, and I start my FSH (Bravelle, 300 units) and low-dose HCG (30 units) tonight! Scans every other day, add in Ganirelix when I have a follicle at 15mm, anticipated egg retrieval on Sunday, June 12th.
I only have one awful appointment--it's on the same day as my first pharmacology exam, and I'll have to rush to make it in time (and I'll miss the class before). But nothing that's during my clinicals.
I'm a bit in shock. I mean, we made the decision Sunday night, and here I am starting stims 3 days later. No cysts, estrogen, p4, LH all nice and low...holy crap. Last time, between deciding to do IVF and starting Lupron, and actually doing IVF, it took us 5 months. I know that's unusual, but it was our story. To have everything go so perfectly smooth just seems unreal.
By the way, I heard there's a Lupron shortage. Bwahahahahaha. It's because I took it all. All told, I spent 93 days on Lupron, usually on 20IUs, sometimes on as high as 40. So, sorry y'all, you'll have to go get cysts from some other medication.
(I will finish the donor sperm conversation soon, I swear!)

LOL!!! I laugh because no less than FOUR girls I know right now are in need of lupron due to the shortage.. Some have since found it but, seems like we have found the culprit! =)
LOL - hope this is YOUR cycle!!! :)
I have heard of the Lupron shortage. Scary to think about!
Good luck!!!
In the past several months all I've heard is the shortage of one IF drug or another. When I was cycling it was cetrotide and orgalutran (don't know their US counterparts). It does seem like there are a lot of us out there, unfortunately.
Wishing you good luck on this IVF cycle and that it would continue as smooth as it started!!!
Dang! You're in a fresh cycle that fast. you do NOT play around. You get it done. Well good luck woman. Everyone says that fresh means the best eggs unscathed by the freezing process. I know your take home baby is on the way!!!!!
I LOVE your resilience and persistence. You keep me going.
Yeahoooo!!! Let's do this!!! BFP here we come!
