Ugh! (smacking forehead) I thought for sure I wrote down my protocol for our last DE IVF cycle. But I have scoured the history for 2 days now and I can not find it anywhere. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Why oh why did I not write it down. I'm usually pretty OCD about all of this stuff.
So here's the complication...
No one can remember when I took the prednisone. Actually no one can remember me taking the prednisone at all! Except me of course. I know I took it because I felt like super man on it. I know we talked about it with all the Dr's because of my Hashimoto, but no one can remember who prescribed it or when during the cycle I took it.
I think I took it at the same time as the antibiotics. But I'm not 100% sure! For some reason I have a feeling I took it after the transfer too, but that doesn't seem right. Does it??? AyAyAyAy!
Anyway...To avoid this happening again. I am posting my protocol right now!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FET #1 (an only from DE IVF #3)
Estrace 2mg 3x daily (orally) for the first 2 weeks
Estrace 2mg 3x daily (vaginally) to continue throughout
Prednisone to start Oct 9, 5mg once daily for 14 days
Dexamethasone to start Oct 16, once a day for 7 days
PIO to start on Oct 17...1 cc...(I'll have to double check on that)
Thaw and hopeful Transfer Oct 23.
Start POAS craziness Oct 30...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are any tweaks or adjustments to my protocol, be sure I will post!
So as you can see there is no lupron! I'm a little nervous about this. My body seemed to wake up a bit since I had Lola. However, the last 3 months I seem to be sliding back into peri-menopause. So I am currently on my first month of HRT. I'm feeling okay...I guess... I've been getting bad headaches and my back is really bugging me the last 2 days. Kind of like my period is coming. But I thought the HRT was supposed to regulate me a little better? I thought I could expect it on Sept 25, so my first u/s and b/w are already booked for Sept 26.
So I guess it seems this cycle is going to be like every other cycle JD and I have ever done. A guessing game right up until the end! Will she get her period...dum..dum..dum...will her lining grown...dum..dum..dum..will she ovulate through the estrace...dum..dum..dum..will frostie thaw and thrive...DUM...DUM...DUM...
Stay Tuned...!
Much Love!
