What is everyone up to?
I'm 2 1/2 weeks in on my 3 weeks of BCPs and 5 nights in on my lupron injections. I'm going to the dr. on Tuesday morning for bloodwork and a baseline sonogram- and if all goes ok then I 'think' we start gonal-f shots on Tuesday night... in preparation for our 2nd medicated IUI (first one w/ this particular protocol).

Re: What is everyone up to?
Sounds like you're well on you way!
I am on the third day of my 100mg dose of clomid with hopes that I will produce decent sized follies this time. I go in on Thursday, CD12, to see how I'm responding. I'm going to acupuncture two times this week to hopefully "help" the process along.  to all of us this month!

Your protocol almost sounds like an IVF protocol.
As for me, I just finished my second round of follistim and am doing back to back IUI's this weekend. It's hard to believe that this is my 5th round of IUI's (4 medicated and 1 natural). No wonder I am worn out. If this month doesn't work out, I am probably going to take a break, regroup, and seriously consider IVF.

GL!!! I know- the senior partner suggested this protocol- and I thought it sounded very IVF like as well- minus the eggs being taken out and put back in and i know there are extra meds besides the few I'll be on... someone on my other message board from CA said that her dr. suggested this same protocol to her and said that it's got a higher success rate than just regular IUI or straight gonal-f IUI- so I'm really hoping that's true!!! We don't have IVF coverage and def. can't afford it at this stage of the game...

Re: What is everyone up to?
Well, AF showed up and she is in full force. Its my first real period since my lapo. I was just miserable the entire day with the cramping. DH is ready to kill me because I've been a major biotch because of my period. Its like every little thing got on my nerves today, especially my noisy neighbors. Anyway, Monday I go back to the RE with my big bag of drugs that he prescribed for me. I know from my last visit we were going to start on lupron. I just hope that will go smooth without any side effects.

I'm sorry! 
I finally stopped bleeding from my miscarriage. My beta on Thursday was 8.8 and they have me going back for my 6th and hopefully final beta on Thursday to make sure it's under 5. I will also have a sono on Thursday as well. If all looks good, I will start BCPs on Thursday in preparation for our next IVF cycle. I hope to start Lupron on 4/24 which will be CD21 of my current cycle. ER and ET seems like it will be early to mid May at this point.
I never thought I'd be looking forward to starting my injections. Hopefully this time around well get some frosties from this cycle in case we have to do another cycle after this one.
