Thursday was the biopsy for my co culture. The procedure was very simple - and fast. I needed to provide several tubes of blood on Wednesday to support the culture. Thursday I arrived in the office at 10:45. I had barely sat down when the nurse called my name. She took me in back - I signed some paperwork and undressed in the procedure room. The doc came in and scraped some cells from my uterine lining in about 15 seconds worth of work. I experienced some minor cramping - but nothing worse than a period. By 10:57 I was dressed and hailing a cab to go back to work! Piece of cake!
Thursday night was the first night of Lupron shots - 10 units once a day until my period arrives. With IVF #3, the danger is not in the shots - it is in forgetting to do the shots. Who would have ever thought that having DH stick me with a needle on a daily basis would become routine?
I will know better after I talk to the nurse when I go for Day 3 bloodwork but based on my (now experienced) calculations I am guessing that this cycle will play out as follows:
8/7 - Begin Lupron
8/14 - Day 1
8/16 - Start Stims
8/28 or 8/29 - Retrieval
8/31 or 9/1 - Transfer
