Got my protocol today! No action during the month of July except birth control pills. The real fun begins August 1st!
* Del Estrogen - 0.2 ml every 3rd evening beginning 8/01. And, yippee! It's an IM shot!
* PIO - 1 ml every evening (estimated start 8/11 but depends on lining). And, yippee! It's another IM shot!
I'll continue both of these until the pregnancy test. Estimated FET is 8/15. I can already picture the excitement on T's face when he gets to jab me twice in the bum! Maybe I won't have to buy those butt enhancement pants after all - I'll have enough swelling from the damn shots!
I'm a little more excited now that I have the schedule but I'm looking at a possible scheduling conflict. We leave for the beach on 8/24 and I'm guessing they'll try to schedule the beta for sometime that week. They'll have to do it before the 24th or when I get back on the 1st - I'm putting my foot down. On the bright side, I might get to make a spectacular announcement while we're at the beach if I get a positive HPT. We decided to keep this cycle quiet so only my sister knows (I tell her everything). I felt horrible because so many people were disappointed (my mom cried) and quite frankly, I got tired of answering the same questions when I had to relay the news. "What happened?" "When can you try again?" "Why is your uterus so old and stubborn?" "Are you really a horrible person who is being denied the one pleasure that every woman wants?" OK, so the last 2 didn't actually get asked but I know people were secretly thinking them!

If I were you I would totally demand to take the beta before vacation. But we've already established I'm a difficult patient. ;-) BTW, I am a space cadet for not realizing the NoVa thing. That is awesome - we should definitely meet someday and compare notes on our clinics. :-)
Great news on getting your schedule!! Having a plan in place always seems to help me and it gives me something to obsess - I mean focus on. Ouch on the 2 IM shots a day. You're going to run out of butt!! (:
I know what you mean. i grew tired of the incessant questions as well, that's why i removed my old blog. *hugs*
I found you from Brenda's blog (No Regrets)...I loved reading your posts, you've got a great sense of humor. :) Good luck with the FET cycle, I really, really hope this is the one for you!
Great news, Suzanne, on the FET schedule! It always helps to ease the pain when a plan goes into place.
And, what a pleasant surprise to be able to maybe share on vacation!! Crossing fingers for you.
