I've been on the lupron for over a week now (started on 1/6) and on Thursday, 1/17, I go in for the first ultrasound/bloodwork. (Took last bcp on Sunday) What kinds of information/numbers should I expect if this is going well? Will they tell me much on this visit??

At your appt, your RE should tel you about your uterine lining! That is pretty much all that they can tell you. Of course, they will look at your ovaries to make sure you have no cycts(please ignore the spelling). Blood work should also share some info on your Est/Prog level. Hopefully this is helpful to you. Now, once you start stim meds, you will be able to "see" the follicles, which to me is the interesting part of it. Well just to see the follicles growing inside amazes me.........
I will start my 3rd cycle next month. We put it on hold since we needed to borrow from our IVF money to do some repairs to our house. We are gonna wait til Income tax return comes and put the rest towards it! Oh, both my cycles were canceled before I made it to ER since my follicles were "poor" in size!!!!
But best of luck and any questions, please feel free to ask me.
