Questionok so i am starting the lupron tonight? i wanted to know what i should expect from now till the egg retrieval?? can i do normal things?? can i have a glass of wine?? stuff like that...
AnswerHello Stephanie,
You should be asking this question to your doctor. They are taking care of you and responsible for your well-being. In addition, as an egg donor, you should be kept appraised of everything since they are using your body.
You can do normal things in an IVF cycle, except have intercourse after the HCG injection is given. I would not recommend it for 7 days after the retrieval because you will be at risk of getting pregnant.
If you go to my website, you will see a calendar showing all the events of an IVF cycle. That should answer the first part of your question, I believe. If not, then shoot back any more specific questions that you may have.
Sincerely,
