I have my flight booked for the 31st. But I think I'm expected up there on the 31st. Might have to go a day earlier. Hoping I can start my inject a day later though.Karla, when are you flying out to Calgary??? Do you have your accommodations all taken care of?
We don't really have accommodations yet. Premiere Execute Suites has a 50% cancellation fee. So I have all the forms filled out but I think I'm going to wait until my baseline to confirm that everything is ago.
I'm going to call them later today to see is that cancellation fee is accurate. I'd really like to have it booked.
AF started today. I was going to cut out coffee today but in a moment of weakness I had a 1/2 a cup. Damn!! That'll be my only one this cycle.

We're toying with the idea of going to Vegas for a couple of nights after it's all done....figure all of this is such a gamble...just as well to keep gambling, maybe we'll be lucky enough to get preggo AND win back all the money we'll spend!!! fingers crossed
As for the coffee addiction, I'm weening myself off too...had about 3 cups this week, plan to try the whole weekend without....ARGH
Hope all your AFs show up soon girls!!!!

We are going to rent a car as well. Although I know my husband will do most of the driving, Calgary driving won't be stressfull for me as I used to live and drive in Paris and Venezuela (where driving is absolutely crazy). The GPS makes things much easier as well.
We are not going to rush back to Newfoundland either. But we will stay in Calgary and visit friends in Banff.

The clinic was super busy today, but I was out of there by 9:15 ( and was there by 7:50), so it wasn't too bad of a wait! So excited to have things 'rolling' and getting started!

Woo hoo Crista!! All good news so far for starting injects I'm sure b/w will be fine too.Baseline is done, no cysts, looks good! I am waiting to hear from the clinic about the blood work and get my instructions about when to start my injections! fingers crossed!

Hope everyone is doing well. Hoping and praying that you get your call Jenn.
I started the long cycle with BCP last thursday. I have endometrium biopsy on the 28 and my first B/W and U/S on the first of november. Likely starting stims around the 7th of november. Seams so far away yet approaching my 40th birthday so darn quickly. lol I really am hoping for a wonderful two pink line xmass present.
Love and blessings to all.

Kat Congrats on getting the call. Nov 7 won't be long coming.
Jenn I want to know the minute you get the call. Ha! Ha! Hopefully it is sooner in the week rather than later. You've been waiting so long.
Kim Did you make it through the weekend without coffee? It's really hard. Decaff helped me wean. Did you ask about time change and taking meds? Do you ignore the time change or do you have to time shift the meds?
AFM Sniffing is easy. No side effects. I'm trying to drink lots of water and eat lots of proteins this month. I don't eat meat (just chicken, fish & eggs) so I have to be more aware so that I'm getting enough.

Kat I don't know how you could do that... keeping the needle in so long!!
My dosage is 225IU so I'll be doing multiple shots every now and then too. Like Cristy said... means to an end. It'll probably take me hours to get through three shots in one day. It took me 30 minutes just to do one shot!

I called in September to see if my file was good and they said yep - but then through our discussion they I found out that they had not recorded my first AF. So I think that is fixed now...So after reading your post I got my husband to phone and follow up and see. So I guess I will try to be patient.
Thanks

Here's hoping that you get the call this week. With any luck, perhaps the nurse will at least be able to cast some light as to where on the list you stand.
I just called in AF#3 last Tuesday. This weekend marks 3 months for us on the list, so I'm somewhat hopeful (albeit skeptical) that I'll get the call this week.
Incidentally, over the last two months, having called the clinic a few times, I learned that they were missing my day 3 FSH results, my ultrasound results, as well as confirmation of my rubella vaccine. God only wonders which vast vacuum those papers end up in!
Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for us both!
