Timeline

This what I found as far as timeline.  

I'll get a period.
I'll have CD2 or 3 bloodwork
On or before CD5, I'll start birth control pills.
CD18, I'l probably start Lupron
CD26, I can expect Aunt Flo to visit

Then I'll have more bloodwork and a baseline ultrasound.  For a Carrier, they call that check "suppression check" but I'm not sure it's the same for an ED.  They want a GS to be very suppressed, the more, the better.  For an ED, it's a delicate balance trying to find just suppressed enough not to ovulate before trigger but not so suppressed that she can't make good eggs.

Stims then, 8-12 days before the trigger, 2 days from trigger to retrieval.  Bloodwork and ultrasounds every 2 days, then daily to monitor my progress.  

Retrieval and fertilization.  

Two to six days after that, transfer.

Beta 14 days after fertilization.  

Total from CD 1 of the cycle we decide to start on?  50 to 54 days, a little over 7 weeks.  But that's after we actively start.  I don't know when that will be.  I can't even make a guess and as you'd expect, not knowing is driving me crazy.  I'd rather know and have it be far away than be stuck in Limbo Land.  They gave me a start time but start what?  Start screening and contracts?  Start cycling with that AF?  What?  

Sigh...
