And......We're Off!

blood work - check

scan - check

results - check

protocol - check

Stacie a happy camper - check!

---

Thankfully, today's scan showed that all the pesky cysts I had when I miscarried are now all gone. My beta was negative (whew), and my estrogen was nice and low. Tomorrow, I start twice weekly injections of Delest.rogen. I go back for my next scan on Monday.

0.2 ml of Delest.rogen injections twice a week (Monday and Thursday) to continue for several weeks into pregnancy (I am thinking positively)

Scans are on Mondays (9/28 and 10/5)

Progesterone injections will start somewhere around 10/5 (date to be confirmed) and will continue throughout the first trimester. Once heartbeat is detected, the RE will consider allowing me to switch to suppositories. (His reasoning is that we know the PIO works for me and he doesn't want to tinker with the known before that date. I am okay with that.)

Transfer will be somewhere around cd 19, or 10/7.

So, that is all I know so far. Please, if you can find it in you to think good thoughts about this cycle, I would GREATLY appreciate it!

I am getting excited now!

    YAY! Sounds like you are excited and happy, and that makes ME excited and happy.

    BTW - I shared Jason's rockin' video with hubby tonight - hubby was so excited. He asks about you guys from time-to-time...

    I think you've inspired him to setup a machine for our boy. You should have seen his eyes light up when he saw Jason "clicking" to get what he wanted. Then he asked tentatively, "How old is he again?". My answer gave him all the push he needed - he headed upstairs to dig out an old Think.pad. :)

    WOW your kids are so advanced. Bug didn't start using one until he was 2.5 yo. generations these days. LOL

    happy sticky thoughts.

    put on your sock it to me socks. I was excited to put on the pair I got to match the polka dot ones I got you. I was so bummed that there were holes in both socks and I just took the tags off. I hope yours weren't holey.

    hugs.
