I finally got in touch with the clinic and I have a schedule!!! It's always so much easier to prepare yourself for all of this once you have a timeline. I'll go for my baseline on the 21st (that means I have a few more weeks of those awful BCPs that turn me into Dr. Jekyll)...they are estimating ER on 5 Aug (so it will probably be the 6th) and a 3dt on the 8th (so I'm planning for the 9th). I usually end up stimming a little longer...but who knows, since they are upping my doses this time (all the nurse said was more Menopur, but that the docs would discuss that with me at the baseline).
Now I am more at peace and I can focus on enjoying my 4th of July weekend with DH. We are going into NYC tomorrow, so that should be fun (but crowded).

Hooray on getting your schedule! I really like to see it in black and white...makes the whole thing seem much more real, doesn't it? Have fun in NYC, that is where I am from. If you have some time, check out the Bodies exhibit downtown. Have you heard of it? It is an exhibit of actual bodies -- I went a few months ago. I thought I would be freaked out but it just felt like they were statues. It was so amazing to see the insides of our bodies and the networks of our circulatory and muscular systems but the most incredible part was a whole room devoted to women and reproduction. I had no idea how tiny our ovaries are and seeing them in a body was so wild. You can also see fetuses at every stage of development. I have seen sonograms before but seeing them in real life, what they look like, will just blow your mind. This may sound really gross to some but I was amazed to see it. Now when my IVF is successful, I will know exactly what is happening in my womb. (Ahhhhh. I can't wait!!)
Have a great vaca!!
