Was it meeting with the RE back in February to decide we did want to move on to IVF?
Was it putting down the nonrefundable deposit?
Paying the entire balance almost a month ago?
Starting birth control as part of the suppression phase over a month ago?
I was sure it was starting Lupron injections a week ago, but here I am, still feeling like I haven't really started yet.
Is it taking off the birth control patch tomorrow to allow my body to actually begin the menstrual cycle this will all be based off of? That sounds like a beginning, but...
Will it be completing my first hormone injections on Wednesday, initiating the stimulation phase?
For now I've decided to call that the start. Up until now, I have taken steps toward the IVF process, but stopping at any point would not have had any extended effects. However, once those stimulating injections start, multiple follicles will be produced, and although we could not proceed all the way to egg retrieval (ER), the follicles are present and there is no turning back.
Well, I'll pull the birth control patch off tomorrow, and then on to Wednesday. I'm so excited to finally get started!
