So, Day 3 of IVF means this:
Day 3 is your 3rd day of your period. I went to my IVF clinic and had an ultrasound....and then went to a independant clinic (which is cheaper) to take labs (give blood and urine) on this day to test for all the "bad things" in your body...which thankfully, I'm free of (HIV, STD's, Cystic Fibrosis, and high/low levels of hormones). Jim also had to do these lovely labs.
Today I will start my birth control pills for 13 days to "calm" my reproductive system down (so all the egg follicles grow at the same time when we start stimulation drugs). They did see a big cyst on my ovary, but the Dr. said he thinks it will go away in the next week. If not, we may be delaying the process a bit.
They gave us a calendar of what our month and a half will look like...see picture below.
