Re: We are going to do IVF...
I'm sorry about your tubes being blocked . . . what did they say about the sac in your uterus at your u/s?
As for IVF - well, you know it was my miracle, too. It is scary, and quite a roller coaster ride, but it is also a truly wonderful thing. You sound like you have a similar protocol to me - I started on bcps, then did lupron. Just take it one step at a time, and if you have questions, or need tips, I've got a lot I can share!!

Re: We are going to do IVF...
I'm sorry your tubes were blocked, but glad to hear you still have a route and IVF is in your future. I pray it works the first time around and you have a little miracle in your arms soon enough!

Re: We are going to do IVF...
Okay, here is what we did:
When AF arrived, I started on bcps. On day 19 of bcps, I started Lupron. I stopped the bcps after day 21, continued the lupron, and waited for AF. When AF arrived, I went in for bloodwork and an u/s. My u/s was good, but my estrogen was too high, so they had me do another 3 days of lupron. I went in for more bloodwork, and I was good to go. I continued taking lupron and started taking follistim and luveris that night. I went in for regular bloodwork and u/s checks. I stimmed for about 8 days, but some women will stim for up to 12 days. The lupron is the medicine that suppresses you. When I was ready, I stopped the lupron, follistim and luveris and I did the trigger shot. On the 2nd morning, we went in for egg retrieval. That was easier than I expected! We got the fertilization report the next day, and then we learned we would be doing a 3 day transfer. We went back in on the 3rd day, and they put the embies back. I then had the dreaded 2ww. You will definitely take progesterone after ER until the end . . . there is either progesterone in oil shots or suppositories (I'd ask for the suppositories!!). That is the process in a nutshell! Your doctor will explain the meds, and I had to take an injection class so they could show me how to do the shots. Some doctors just give you a video. I did all the shots in my belly, but some prefer the thigh. Once you start the injections, it really does go quickly!

Re: We are going to do IVF...
I'm sorry your tubes are blocked.
If we had the money for it I'd jump straight to IVF tomorrow.
Best wishes and I hope it does the trick for you.
