4 more days of BCP's!!

I talked with my nurse yesterday and my last BCP will be on May 4th. When she said that I was thinking that is so far away and I am ready to be done with these yucky things....then I looked at the calendar and omg that is next week already. Wohoo!!! So I will stop those on the 4th and should see the wicked witch about 5 days later for the last time! I'm expecting my first trip down to Dallas around the 19th so things have been moved up a couple days so I hope with all fingers and toes crossed this now can all be done before classes start back up in June. Oh and I thought I would share my socks with you all that I will be wearing for the ET. Gotta have a little fun with it.

I had my sonogram today and we got the clear to get started on medications...Yay!!! I will take my BCP for another week then I should have a short period and then the real drugs start. Only 1 more week of school left. What a great time to start all this...no stress!! Getting excited if you can't tell!

Today kicks off the National Infertility Awareness Week NIAW. This is a movement sponsored by RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association, to raise awareness about the disease of infertility, which affects 7.3 million Americans.

Got our schedule

Today the Dallas office called me to go over my schedule for this IVF cycle. I will have a sonogram done here locally on April 28th and then I will start my Lupron that day. This medication is used to prevent premature ovulation by suppressing the estrogen production in your body. I shouldn't have to make a trip to Dallas until May 21st give or take a day. The only problem is that it's looking like our transfer will be around June 2nd or 3rd. Not what I wanted because class starts back up June 1st. AF arrived a week late this time so it messed everything up. I hope my instructor will be understanding that I may miss a day or two of class.

Mom just left after a fun filled weekend of shopping, eating and more shopping! AF arrived on Friday morning so I had to call the Dallas office to make sure all I needed to do was start BCP (birth control pills) My RE actually called me back himself and said we needed to get blood work one more time and it would have to be Monday morning. Great...I have a test Mon. at 8:30am so I'm thinking I will have to leave class right after the test and miss the rest of lecture to get this done. As soon as blood in drawn I have to take my first pill. I'm dreading taking the BCP because they make me so nauseous but excited because this is the start of this next IVF cycle! Woo Hoo!!!

It's a good day

We got great news today about our lab work bill/insurance situation. My Dr here that did all the lab work ended up writing it all off because they didn't have me sign a waver saying that these tests are normally not covered and we would be responsible. We only have to pay $226 for Jason's chromosome analysis, too bad they didn't mess up on that one too!! Maybe I should bake the front office some cookies and thank them for the goof. :)

Normal

Just got a call that Jason's chromosome analysis came back completely normal....YAY!!! So now we know it's all my fault, (not anybodys fault, we are in this together...from Jason) but that's ok now that we know what it is. We are still waiting on insurance to process the claim for all these tests. We got a frightening phone call last week saying the claim was denied....what?? Are you kidding? I guess they needed more information on why we were needing all these tests ran so the Dallas office resubmitted info and we have to wait 7-14 more days to see how much we have to shell out. It would be thousands of dollars if insurance doesn't pay so fingers crossed they will pay part of it.
