thank you hocky and indigo for thinking of me

I just got back from my ultrasound, everything looks good so just waiting for the clinic to phone with my bloods and say Im ok to start the medication.

So Im on 300 on Gonal F and in addition 75 of Repronex (Menopur) which is basically the same thing but an added boost....the nurse said its a very aggressive protocol, she is not my favourite nurse so I didnt ask why I have the 2 and not just 375 of Gonal F....anyone heard of this?? am going to google it now!

So I start today and then go back Tuesday to see whats happening.
I am not on anything else right now, sometime next week I will start a medication to suppress ovulation and then I will have the hcg trigger and progesterone, but nothing else was mentioned.

Please say a prayer for me and that I will grow lots of healthy eggs, this is so huge for me and Im equally excited and terrified. Im so happy to have you all here to help me through and I hope my updates will help someone else going for ivf in the future

If anyone is interested I paid $2000 for medications today.....thats for 5 days of 300 gonal f and 5 days of 75 menopur. then I paid half of the $7200 IVF with ICSI fee, so $3600 today and $3600 will be on Tuesday (she let me break into 2 payments). so that will be $9200 so far, and expecting medications to cost another $2000, so that will be $11,200.

I wouldnt mind if there was a 95% success rate, but to pay that for a 36% success rate is insannnneeeeee

AS FOR ME.....

Okay I got what you all been waiting for! so my levels on Wendesday Nov.2 were 6.43 and the levels this morning are 18.60. my fs told me they are still low BUT he is happy to tell me that WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!

He wants me to get another Beta on our anniversary Nov.10 to make sure. and plus that is the day my cycle is supose to come on anyway.

Sooooo when I thought I saw the line the first time on November 1st at DPO 9 my eyes wasn't playing tricks on me

As for my husband my fs gave me 90 days of Tinzaparine; Its soo much needles and boxes it would be mad trying to hide them around the house. I will tell him over dinner.
