Nothing.

Nope - still no period. Nothing since the once time spotting I had on Friday. Zilch. I can't start the next phase of IVF until I get my period. I know Lupron kind of delays things in that arena, but I was supposed to get it on Saturday - so start already! I called my RE to cancel the appointment I had for today and they said that if I still don't get it by Friday to call and I'll have an appointment on Monday regardless. So here's to hoping it shows on it's own and earlier.

The next phase in this whole process is where I start taking Bravelle with my Lupron. The Bravelle is injected to stimulate my ovaries to produce lots and lots of eggs. And I keep taking the Lupron so suppress any natural ovulation by my body until the eggs/follicles are big enough to be triggered to ovulate. And then once I do the trigger, they'll go in, retrieve all of the eggs, fertilize them with ICSI and then a few days later transfer a few fertilized ones back in.

So say it with me everyone - come on period - show your face! ;-)
