IVF #1, CD7, Friday 12/7/12
Well today was a pretty big day: I got my IVF Calendar and I had the sonohyst and trial transfer. I’ll devote this post to the calendar.
At this clinic, the agonist protocol apparently starts out the same for everyone: start birth control pills on Cycle Day 3. Then you stay on the BCP until you start the Lupron shots. And by “stay on the BCP” I really mean stay on the BCP: you don’t take the placebo pills at all like you would normally do with BCP. You have to do the BCP for at least 2 weeks before moving to the next step.
After you’ve been on BCP for at least 2 weeks, the next step is adding Lupron shots. Lupron is used to suppress ovulation (they don’t want you to ovulate too soon). At this clinic, everyone starts Lupron on a Sunday and you start with 10 units. For the first 7 days, you will take BCP and give yourself the Lupron shots.
