Okay guys Tom & Emily had a good question they posted on a comment page I and thought this would be a good place to address that answer. Anyway, their question was, "What's your timeline?" I got to thinking and I thought most of you would really like the answer to this question as well so I had to pull out my calendar for this one...
I start my injections on Saturday, February 3rd and I'll follow the same routine for the first week. Then on Saturday, February 10th I'll discontinue my birth control pills, but continue with the Lupron injections. They expect me to have a minor period (I'll believe "minor" when I see it) for the next few days and then on Valentine's Day Jim and I will go in for our baseline ultrasound, to make sure I have no cysts preventing us from proceeding. From there things will really start to get hectic and intense since I will be expected to go to Albuquerque on a daily basis for ultrasounds and blood draws.
My follicles will be retrieved sometime during the week of February 25th...could be as early as Monday and as late as Friday. Immediately following the retrieval my follicles will be fertilized and will sit in a petri dish for either three or five days...this will all depend on the follicles. The fertilized follicles will then be transferred back into my uterus sometime during the week of March 5th. And finally our big day will be March 14th, this will be our first pregnancy test. If this test is positive then we will retest again on March 16th to make sure our numbers are doubling as they are suppose to.
I know this was a lot to absorb in one blog so I'm really hoping I didn't confuse any of you. As things proceed I'll try to make more detailed posts about our progress.

I hope you have a calendar with all of this on it. I know I'd forget something. I've been trying to remember to pick up my migraine meds for almost 2 weeks now. Thank God I haven't gotten a headache!
