I went for my calendar consultation July 31st. This includes the calendar of when and what drugs I am to take, egg retrieval, egg transfer, beta test... You will not believe the list of drugs, ready?:
1. Birth Control Pills to put your ovaries into hybrenation.
2. Follistim injections to wake the ovaries up and produce eggs. This will be a daily shot of 250 units.
3. Vivelle patches to increase my estogen. Change these twice a week.
4. Ganirelix injections added a week after Follistim to keep me from ovulating.
5. Pregnyl (HCG) to inject 36 hours before Egg retrieval.
6. Doxycycline antibiotic to prevent infection after Egg retrieval
7. Prednisone to increase implantation
8. Endometrin to suport embryo implantation and support early pregnancy by increasing the progesterone.
Grand Total after my insurance picked up the BCP, Dox and Pred - $2,700.00
Let the games begin on 8/28/2012 with my baseline appointment. This includes an ultra sound and bloodwork. The ultra sound will be to check my uterus lining and my ovaries to see if there are any follicles hanging out already.
