IVF protocol question

I am supposed to start my IVF cycle 21 days after i get my next period (i am not starting on BC so 21 days after my period i will start Lupron).

When do i go in for blood work and sono? Is it before i start the Lupron? And how frequently do i need to go to the doctor while I am on Lupron? And lastly, will i get my CD3 blood work drawn with this IVF cycle?

DH and i are suppose to go away for President's day weekend and i think i will be starting the Lupron then also and i want to make sure i dont need to go to the doc!

thanks!

You seem to have lots of questions that might be best answered by your RE or nurse. I did lupron too before IVF. I started lupron on August 26th and continued until Sept. 9th. I went for blood and sono on Sept. 2nd. I also went for blood and sono on the 10th to see if I was set to start stimming- which I was. Best bet- get the details from the pros. Thought this info might help until you get the real info. from your RE.Mention your trip to RE and they will either tell you it is a problem or they will schedule any appointments for when you are in town. I think that you will be fine to go away since you will just be starting lupron. Good luck!!!!!
