Now DH needs surgery

OH my God is this day over with yet

DH just got home from seeing a ear nose and throat specialist. He has a deviated septum way off to one side and really big tonsils. He has to go for a sleep study on april 1st and the doctor is going to fight the insurance for him to have surgery. Right now they won't cover it.

rachorch - I had my injection training today too. I took alot of notes then when I got home I rewrote them. It is alot to remember but I use to be a lab rat so it's just like old (fun) times again, except with syringes instead of pipettes! I haven't heard of the Scott Protocol - I'll have to google it.

Cathy - so sorry you are having a crummy day but bad things happen in 3's so you are done with all the bad things that will happen now

Cathy- your approach will work..hehe. Try a hot bath.

Tracilynn-I took notes too. I just hope they are good enough. I know the scott protocol is for poor responders. I couldn't find anything else on it.

Rachhorch - you will be on the FLARE protocol and it is the most potent protocol. It must have been named after Scott, an MD b/c his name kept coming up when I did a search for Flare protocols. Also called microdose Lupron FLare protocol. Here are some links:


your protocol is at the bottom of this first page>>
Advanced Reproductive Care Center, IVF and Fertility Clinic in Irving, Texas serving Dallas and Fort Worth, Dr. Sy Q Le



another summary of it

menopur stung me last cycle. if there are particles in the solution it is worse I used to wait until they all disolved.

I have to mix 300 bravelle and 300 menopur this time it is going to be super stingy this time
