Thanks for the welcome AlliJ!! I am trying not to watch the calander too much this time as I was devistated every time my dates would change last time (They changed 3 times!). It is very easy for this process to become the center of our lives though so easier said than done!!
April - what they do at the first consult will depend on the doctor but I can tell you that all 3 RE's I have been to have discussed the process as well as what testing would be required prior to starting. They also reviewed sample calanders and gave me scripts for the required blood draws. I didn't find out my exact meds until the month before. I am hoping RE #4 that I will go to on May 4th uses some of the same meds I used before as I have about $2500 worth sitting in my closet!
Glad to hear there are some others out there trying to drop a few before starting. I gained 20 lbs in 1.5 months when I was on BC and Lupron before. It only took me a month to lose it so it must have been water weight or something but I figure I better be under where I think a good starting pregnancy weight is!
