Day 1 of the DE Cycle
So. Here I am on day 2 of my period, but really, Day 1 of DE cycle #1. I’m cystfree, with a normal (fabulous) uterus, and ready to start this project. Apparently the deal is:
- I will start Lupron tonight, but will only be using a single dose per day, not two doses.
- The pharmacy will call me this afternoon with the whopping bill to authorize payment on.
- Ms. DonorFantastica will go in for her ultrasound check-up either tomorrow or Friday. Assuming she is cyst-free with fabulous-looking ovaries, she will start taking Lupron as well.
- In two weeks, we’ll each go in. Assuming we are both still cyst-free, she will start stimming, and I will start uterine fluffing.
- 4 to 5 weeks from today, assuming all goes well, we’ll be retrieving, fertilizing, and transfering a perfect little embryo or two and freezing 20 more.
Please god.
My doctor is wonderful, the nurses and techs are great, hell, even the receptionists break out of their receptionist routine to chat with me there. We all agreed, however, that we really have to end these relationships and move on with our respective lives.
Here’s hoping with all my heart.
Eeep!!! Congrats! Everything crossed that this is IT!
Yippee! What a fantastic belated birthday present the next six weeks or so could bring! I’ve got all my crossable body parts crossed for you!
Happy belated birthday. Great news. Having just gone through a donor cycle, I can tell you it is so easy and relaxing. Also the drugs are so much cheaper when the ovaries are responsive. Get the uterus all pillowy soft and then sit back and enjoy.
I feel the same about my docs and nurses. They know me by name and the status of y pregnancy but I can’t wait until we’re not seeing each other quite so regularly.
So excited for you!!!
All my heart hoping for you too.
Oh I’m sooo excited that you are getting started! I have everything crossed.
Praying for you.
Woohoo! And, action!
I love my RE’s people too, but damn, I’m ready to move on.
Great news! I’m glad you are finally moving forward!
Oh Happy belated birthday! I thought about you yesterday many times but I couldn’t get in front of the computer. And what good news on the DE cycle…I can’t WAIT to follow along!
I’m glad you’re starting your cycle – finally, huh? It surely seems like the ‘wait from hell’ when we’re between cycles. I wish you much luck, friend.
woo hooooo!!!
Whooo hooo! Devil’s spit! Bring it ON!
Sweet Sprogblogger, oh my goodness, you are on your way. So glad you got the greenlight. I am hoping with all of my heart.
Thinking of you and

I too am hoping with all my heart for you sprogblogger!
Dear Sprogblogger, I turn east, lift my glass of orange juice to you and toast to a fabulous 40th year, a DE cycle rivaled by none but the gods themselves. Hoping and wishing and praying that this is the final and THE ONE. Cheers.
