Well I got my timeline yesterday. I will be getting 9 different meds in the mail today :) I start the Lupron tomorrow. This is the easy shot and I hope it goes that easy. I keep telling myself its not a big deal to take either shot (PIO as well) but I have a feeling that I will get very nervous. Maybe since I should be getting the smaller 1 inch needle for the PIO it won't look so bad??? Maybe??? I didn't even ask about the size gauge of the thing.... well anyway. Tomorrow I start Lupron and continue birth control and pre natal vitamin. Next Wednesday 10/3 is my last birth control pill. On 10/9 I am to have my first blood work and ultrasound appointment. The day after that, assuming all results are fine, I decrease Lupron and start 6 2mg Estrace tablets. The most I took last time was 3 tabs a day. And my E2 levels were 2659 at the end of that cycle. My lining was only a sad 4.3 at that time. The second cycle I was only on 2 tabs and my E2 was 2243 but my lining was 4.4. I thought I had at least made it to a 5 but I guess I didn't. NEFI was happy with my estrogen results, but a simple google tells me that those figures could be double and still well accepted. I really really hope that jump starting my "cycle" with this mega dose of estrace will be just the ticket to a fluffy lining. Anyway, I will also start low dose aspirin the same day as estrace. Continue this dose until ultrasound and bloodwork on 10/24. That is going to be a tough two weeks, not knowing what is going on with my lining :) Then CT fertility will contact me on when to stop the lupron and start the PIO. The day after that I add prometrium, and Prednisone and Doxycycline. These last two are only for 5 days. Then another 2 weeks of waiting for a blood pregnancy test. But I know I will take a test before that :) HPT here I come :) Josh feels like this new protocol will take me all the way to transfer. I hope so too.
So I started a workout video last night, Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack. Hopefully I will have lots of muscles by the time I get pregnant and that will hopefully help to carry twins, or even one baby really :) It is so hard to think about work, now that this is going on. AHHH!!! Excited :)
