Back from this morning's dr appt
and all looks good! My dr had to take his son to the hospital for bloodwork, so he wasn't there as scheduled, but the other dr was, so it was fine. I went to get my blood drawn, then to the office. He did a sono and told me my ovaries looked great, my lining was perfect and based off of the results of my estrodial level, that my dr will call me later on this afternoon to tell me when I'll be starting gonal-f. He was so positive and optimistic- it was contagious- and I immediately became so excited, positive and optimistic myself!  
I thought I'd have to wait for AF to show but he said no... THEN he told me that I'm probably going to be on lupron an EXTRA 12 days  so that's a total of 26 days (and shots!  ) I was not at all happy to hear that, but am dealing, because... well, because what choice do I have? I just assumed I'd only be on it for 14 days b/c it was a 14 day kit... but he said the 14 kit is based off of double the dose I'm taking for people that have endometriosis- and I'll be taking it almost twice as long...
It also means I'll be taking 2 injections a night once the gonal-f starts Again, not very happy about that...
I'm really crampy today- this will be my 2nd night off BCPs and I'm thinking AF will be making her appearance in the next day or two.
So that's my update...

What we have to do in order to get pregnant! But, you will get through it. Sadly, Giving yourself injections will be second nature.
It will be worth it at the end!

Re: Back from this morning's dr appt
Glad everything went well!
As for the Lupron, you do stay on that while on the Gonal-F. They will probably lower your doseage though. I did 14 days of Lupron at 15 units, then once I started Gonal-F, I was down at 5 units of Lupron throughout the duration of my stim cycle.

UGH! They have me on 10 units now... he didn't mention changing the dose- but maybe my own dr. will tell me... I know they're supposed to start me at 225 units of gonal-f and then bring the dose down b/c that's the dose I started responding to last IUI cycle.
They gave me 2 pens- and a refill of 2 more- do you think I should order them (they come mail order) or wait it out? I'm kind of nervous-this isn't the brightest mail order company I'm dealing w/ and I don't want to end up stuck. I thought about getting them either way so even if I did get pg this round and didn't use them that I could offer them to someone that has to pay out of pocket...

Do you have the 900 IU pens? I think you should be okay, but if you think you might need another pen, I would order one additional one if you are nervous about your mail order company. I had one unopened one left over from last cycle. Had my pregnancy stuck, I would have donated it to my REs so they could give it to someone who had to pay out of pocket.

Re: Back from this morning's dr appt
If the meds are covered by insurance I'd get them. Keep them in the frig and hopefully you can give them to someone who will need them.
Sounds like all is looking good. Just wanted to wish you luck.
