So depending on your response, you go in for the ER when it works for you, but they know it will be at some point in the same week. My dr already gave me my schedule (you can see in my signature), that ER will be approx the week of Aug 18. They automatically do a 5 day transfer.

I never thought I'd be excited to go back on BCPs, but once I get to that point, the ball will start rolling. I'm so eager - this feels like such a long break from my last IUI to my first IVF.


I hadn't heard of this syncing-up program until I read your postings. Is your fertility center pretty small? That might be why. I'm going to a big one, with multiple locations, and they work 7 days a week, which I guess means they can pretty much work around most anyone's natural cycle. But to be honest, your way actually sounds really good. At least you already know when everything is going to happen. I still have to wait for AF to come again this month before I can even start the BCPs, and who knows when she'll show up this month. She's been hopping around from 26 to 29 days, ever since I started IF treatments. I wish I had a date already scheduled for ER and ET! I'm jealous! :-)
