I surged right on time, so on the 28th I will begin taking Estrace (2) mg tablets at bedtime. Dr. S prescribed the estrogen to prevent me from developing a dominant follicle. My last protocol we used vivelle patches and estrogen tablets and I did not develop a dominant so I am hoping this process is even better.
I really recommend buying the smiley face digital ovulation predictor pee sticks. They are expensive at $49.00, but you get 20 individually wrapped sticks. If we are so lucky, I can use the remaining sticks during my next cycle.
I started out with the ovulation predictor kit that has you look for two lines and then I got scared that I would mess up the lines. A few days before I surge I get two lines. You have to wait until the test line is as dark or darker than the baseline. I just do not want to make a single mistake.
Great news that everything is going smoothly so far! It's almost February, and hopefully Denver will have good weather waiting for you! Best wishes!

ReplyDeleteI always use the cheap OPKs, but I'm sure when we're doing ART I'll just splurge for the smiley faced ones. I agree - no screwups when you're spending that much money!!
