I think I am currently losing my mind- I can't remember anything! I was this way a bit when I was taking Clomid but it's at a whole different level with the suprefact. I'm assuming it has something to do with my estrogen since those are the main hormones that both clomid and suprefact affect? I was out of town visiting a friend and completely lost my medication. Luckily I was able to get back home before I missed another dose, but it was a bit stressful. I start my stims on Friday after my baseline US/bloodwork. Can't wait to get this show on the road. Looks like I'll be doing all of the travelling and appointments on my own as DH will be working a bunch of weekend OT for the next few weeks. I was hoping that he would be able to come to most of them so that he understood the process a bit more. I really hope he will be at the transfer- that seems like a bigger deal for him to attend than an us. Are you ladies bringing SO's or supports to your appointments or going solo?

browni - I go solo for ultrasounds and bloodwork. No point of dragging DH. I get results in the afternoon anyways so he would be just sitting there. I will drag him for the "big things"

@Browni, I'm not doing IVF but my DH would definitely come. However us being business owners allows our schedules to pretty much be at our discretion. HOWEVER, if that were not the case then I would just demand him be there for the transfer. :-) If his schedule didn't allow for him to attend the others I wouldn't wanna make him feel bad for not being able to attend. I attend all my appointments solo now except for IUI day. IUI isn't anywhere near as stressful as IVF so I don't press for him to tag along right now.

Xomandy- I had the same feeling when the re said we'll do femara. Especially when we had a successful round of Clomid (followed by aMC and 2 unsuccessful rounds so I listened to him). He wanted to "trick" my body by using the femara and so far it's worked! Just leaving now for the 3 hour drive for the ultrasound! I'm getting nervous now

Basia30, estrogen is what fuels your CM, so it's absolutely normal to be swimming with high levels.

My husband just came to the retrieval and transfer appointments. But I did ask the ultrasound tech to print me out a copy of my scan results and I would write my blood tests results on the back when I got the call, so I was able to easily keep him in formed of the progress (and, of course, he went to every ultrasound appointment after we got pregnant).

TTClate30's, best wishes today! Can't wait to hear (and hopefully see) your good news!!

thanks essemkay and thanks for the idea - I will be asking them for copies of ultrasounds :) so he can see it :)
and definitely I would drag him to retrieval and transfer :D

It's pretty neat. We basically have photographic documentation of my daughter from before conception. How many people can say that? :D

Just left my ultrasound and the pregnancy is in my uterus so that's good. But he couldn't see anything in the sack so he said he's not optimistic. He believes it's a blighted ovum. They are running another beta in hopes this is just a little behind. I'm praying for a miracle here. Should know more soon. But still not a definite answer

TTC I will say a prayer for you and your little baby - hopefully it sticks !!! When is your bloodtest?
