After the news we received Tuesday, I had to take a couple days to just be sad and mad. Then I decided I was done with that. The bottom line is, this all sucks...a lot. I thought I was going to be going into surgery next week and now I'm not. But I can't change any of it. And being pissed off isn't going to make things any better. So, I've accepted it.
With that being said, we now have a new timeline for everything. I'm currently back on birth control pills to restart the suppression phase. It seems like such a setback, but again...it's beyond my control. I will remain on the pill until 11/13. At that time, I will have to go in for my suppression ultrasound and labs to check my progesterone and estradiol again. Hopefully my levels will all be where they need to be at that time.
Assuming everything checks out normal, I will then start back up with the Dexamethasone and a new microdose Lupron on 11/16. Unfortunately, I have to throw out the old $200 vial that I already have. And instead of taking the Lupron once a day like I was previously, I will have to do morning and evening injections.
On 11/18, I will add back the Gonal-F and the Menopur injections. I will have labs to monitor everything on 11/20, 11/23, and 11/26, and I'll also have ultrasounds on 11/23 and 11/26.
Our new tentative date for the retrieval surgery is 11/28, 11/29, or 11/30 (depending on the results from my labs and scans on 11/26). The transfer will be five days after the retrieval, so that'll end up putting it on 12/3, 12/4, or 12/5.
So, that's our current timeline. Let's hope we can stick with the plan this time.
