33 days of Birth Control Pills!

It is like killing time when your RE is too busy to schedule your FET cycle to coincide with your menstrual cycle.  I'll just continue taking birth control pills until it is convenient for you, Dr.  Alas, 33 days of Birth control pills is better than sitting out an entire cycle, I think?

Regardless, I got my FET calendar today.  The 33 days of birth control pills puts my transfer date off until the end of May. 

Here is my looong trajectory:

3/19: cycle day 1--start BCP

3/26: phone consult with RE (is this the WFT appointment?).

4/16: start 10 units Lupron, Doxycycline, Aspirin (I'll continue aspirin well into the (hopeful) pregnancy.

4/20: last BCP

4/26: bloodwork and injection teaching (boo, intramuscular injections this time!), possibly lower    Lupron units, last doxycycline

4/30: (if menses started, start Delestrogen injections twice weekly in increasing doses)

5/9: Lining Check

5/17: Stop Lupron.  Start Progesterone in oil injections.

5/18: blood work.  start medrol and doxycycline

5/23: transfer (would like to do SET again, but we will go with RE's and embryologist's                         recommendation), last medrol and doxycline.

6/1: Beta hcg and last estrogen injection.  If positive I will add Endometrin progesterone 

It is March still and I am looking ahead to June, and that is okay.  Thank you all for your supportive comments to my Cycle Day 1 post.  I am feeling more optimistic, or less fearful, by the day.  It is a struggle but it helps to know I have friends cheering me on.

Happy ICLW!  For those of you new to my blog, I am starting my first FET cycle after IVF #1 resulted in a miscarriage at 6 weeks.  Thanks for stopping by.
