All Systems Go!!

Well the scan is done and everything is good to go!!! Yay!!! I'm so excited. Lining was nice and thin and I had plenty of antral follicles that were nice and small. I can use the meds that are just a little past expiration which means that with what I have so far and with the stuff I still have coming I should be pretty much covered on my stim meds. Also as far as I'm concerned these are all lucky meds! The fact that all my FSH and men0pur has been donated from other women who have had positive cycle is not only a huge financial help but as far as I'm concerned there has to be something lucky about that. They are ordering my Lu*pr0n, Vi*velle and PIO which my insurance should cover. Also for the last cycle I ended up with a horrible rash from all the meds. The clinic in Fresn0 tried to tell me that it couldn't be from the meds as that's not a side effect but I've found other references to this. I noticed that I've already started itching some and this morning noticed a bit of a rash also. So I asked about this and happened to mention that for my last IVF the days when I was taking the steroid I felt much better. So I will be starting the steroid early this cycle on the day I start the stims. This is a relief to me since the itching just about drives me crazy. So a great appointment all the way around. I'm so excited about my upcoming cycle. I feel hopeful and positive and like I actually have a chance here. Now I just hope that feeling doesn't end.
Oh and one other super fun thing that happened. While I was in the waiting room I was looking at a copy of Conceive magazine and they had a page about bloggers and Mel was listed on that page!! I got to tell everyone I know her!! I met her in person and was able to give her a hug!!
