6/28 start Lupron
7/7 (my birthday) visit clinic for start cycle appt
7/8 start FSH
7/13 first scan (at Dr. Lovely in town)

Transfer week of July 25

We will be close in our cycles. I am starting Lupron the 16th. Have you gotten your meds yet? I hear there is a shortage of Lupron nationwide. I haven't gotten all of mine yet and am nervous. Good luck!

@Liz I did hear of the Lupron shortage. Apparently they're manufacturing it differently and it has a shorter half life this way which is why they send it right before you need it. Or something scientific like that : )

@Still a Guest Room no way!!!! I've never met anyone with my birthday!! : )
