to all the ladies that have joined us!

Tracy - Wow, you are on your way to with your meds making their way to you house!

The question about what you do to prepare for your cycle - I have given up caffeine and I am doing AP. It really relaxes me through the whole thing and also helps with side effects from all the meds.

Hey everyone!

to the new gals!

I posted a new thread but wanted to check with you girls too to find out what you're doing.......

Do you get your IVF meds through your RE office (or their recommended pharm) or on your own (through a mail order or something)?

We just found out today that we have the option of splitting our loan between the RE office and meds! So........I've been preparing not to stress for the next 24 hrs because I am starting AP/acu tomorrow - and now here I am, having to deal with $$ issues AND I have to let the financial dept know tomorrow morning!!!! Crap!

So......any advice you can share, DH and I appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!

Angie, I wish I could help but we have IVF med coverage so we had to go with the online pharmacy through my insurance. I hope someone can answer your question better.

Thanks so much for keeping track of all of us! you are the best. I just went in for my D3 labs/ultrasound and got my official calendar. I have butterflies! We don't have med coverage and will be getting the meds from our IVF clinics pharmacy, if we have to do it again we'll probably shop around, but for this run we just want to keep things simple (its SO complex to start with!)

Here's my updated schedule: Lupron 4/16, trial transfer and sonohys also on 4/16, stim starts 4/26, Tentative ER date 5/7, Tentative transfer dates 5/10-12 (depends if we do 3 day or 5 day transfer) , Beta on 5/23.

So I started my BCP last night. I feel a little funny today. I know its probably all in my head but I just hate taking medication. Has anyone else experienced side effects from BCP? Right now I'm feeling a little lightheaded.
