I went to the doctor first thing Saturday morning for an ultrasound. Everything looked great which basically means that things are pretty quiet and I don't have any big follicles growing or other issues. Amazing how easy it is to do well on that when your body never produces many follicles even when you are pumping yourself full of fertility drugs!
Anyway, I got my schedule on Saturday and started Lupron. I'll be off BCPs on Thursday - yay!! They have been pretty awful this time for some reason - I think it was the brand like several of you had mentioned. It was one I'd never heard of before and it didn't like me! According to my schedule, if everything goes as planned with the donor, we are looking at retrieval some time around April 23-25 and transfer around April 26-28. So it looks like there are no conflicts with our travel plans which is great other than having to take my meds with me.
I have to laugh at myself, though. As anxious I was to get this whole process started - freaking out when the nurse didn't call with the donor information etc - now that it has started - that's freaking me out as well. Even though we have been ttc for over two years now, this time it just feels more real - like we have a really good shot at getting pregnant - which is what we want, but it's going to be such a huge life change - don't know if I'm ready for all that! I am - but it's scary. I'll just take it one day at a time - that's all you can do when you are undergoing this process. So many things have to happen between now and then - who knows how all this will turn out.

I know what you mean. It' all this wait, wait, wait...and then BAM GO!!!!!!!!!! And it all happens so fast until the 2ww. Which can really drag.
Hooray for getting off BCPs! Maybe the lupron won't seem so icky if you're coming off those. I felt the same way when I got to the transfer day - like, holy cow this might really work!
