It's a GO!!!!

Hi everyone!!!

So we've gotten started.  The protocol is somewhat different this time.  On my wife's second day of her cycle we started with birth control pills (10 days), dexamethasone ( 1mg/day), DHEA (75mg/day).  Last time we went through this we didn't have to take BC pills.  Word is research has shown better outcomes, on average, by starting this way.  On the 12th or 13th day the STIM cycle should begin.

What we're waiting to here are the specifics on the meds (gonal-F/Follistim, etc.).  Then we will have an idea on the what/when and how we will handle the meds.

Very different feeling this time around.  We are walking in expectancy with far less fear, but just as much excitement.  There is some anxiety but only because there still remain some unknowns.  You'll probably hear from me again around the 3rd or 4th of September.  Be well!!!
