June 26, 2012 - Start Suprefact Nasal Spray 5 time daily one squirt in each nostril. Suprefact is used to shut off or turn down your own hormone production in your pituitary gland and prevent you from ovulating too early. This continues for approximately 15 days before I go for my down regulation check to see if the Suprefact has done it's job. Also start one a day aspirin.
July 11, 2012 - Down Regulation Check.
July 12, 2012 - Start stimulation meds (Menopur and Bravelle) if down regulation has occurred. Continue Suprefact three times daily, and continue one a day aspirin. My protocol is two vials of each Menopur and Bravelle. I was happy to learn that it would be combined into one shot daily taken at bed time.
July 13, 2012 - Start antibiotics for both myself and my husband.
July 16, 2012 - Blood Tests and Ultrasound to see how the meds are working. The doctor will review my progress and reassess my meds at this time.
From this point on it is the same process every 1-2 days, bloods and ultra sound. Once we have a good amount of follicles and they reach desired size we do a HCG trigger. Stop the Suprefact, Menopur and Bravelle.
Egg Retrieval would be approximately July 20-23. My clinic does 5 day transfers so July 25-28 would be the transfer.
Then Starts the wait, 16 days for the first beta test to determine if I am pregnant.
