Nurse consultation

Today I had my nurse consul in regards to our next transfer.

I got the calendar with all my instructions and for some good damn reason I feel so promising about it this time. I am on a positive road and I want to stay on it my whole journey during my 3^rd cycle.

To give you a breakdown what will happen this time. As you know I am on birth control, which I was advised by the nurse that I would be only on it for 21 days vs. complete 28. I asked her why so short? She told me that’s how it work’s when we do IVF. I will start Lupron on Nov 13^th, which will be 17 days in to my cycle. On Nov 20^th will be my last day of my birth control, which I mentioned earlier.

Expect period around the 22^nd of Nov. Nevertheless, I am a bit worried that it might come later since with the treatment it has been delayed a bit. However, the nurse told me most likely it wont. Few days after my period I have an appointment for baseline ultrasound and blood work. Continue reading →

I knew it from the second I had fevers during both of my cycles that I had natural killer (NK) cells. My doctor said shouldn’t be an issue, which I knew it would. The nursed advised me I had high NK cells. Continue reading →
