just learning

Post by journey »

Hi, Im new to this site and needed some support.
I am waiting on my period to start (so im just starting this journey through ivf) and go have bloodwork done on day three and start birth control that night. I'm not sure about next step like when do injections start? Thanks for everyone who supports this!

Hi,

You and I are in the same boat. I will be starting AF very soon (in the next day or so) and then I will start the pill on day 3. You take it for about 9-10 days and then you start the stimulation drugs.

You take those injections for about 10-11 days. They will do US about every other day to make sure that all is going well.

You will get a booster shot of HCG to get you to ovulate and 36 hours later you will go for your egg retrieval.

3-5 days later you will do the embryo transfer and then you will be on the dreaded 2 week wait.


Good luck to you and lets us know how everything goes.

You will love this sight as everyone is so supportive and knowleable.
