What to aske the doc?

Well as you know i have made an appointment to see the IVF doc in February, sooner if there are cancellations, but i need to know what i should be asking her. I have the basics down, like whats the protocol, when do i start the meds. things like that.  

Also i had a birth control pill question. When taking the BCP before IVF when do you start it? do you start it after AF or can you start it at any time? Thanks

Sorry, I do not understand your question.  

My IVFs started on day 2 of AF.

Are you still on BCP?  If you could get pregnant naturally - wouldn't that be better?

You start the birth control pill days 2-4 of your cycle for 2-3 weeks before they startLupron to put you in a menopausal state for about 14 days. Finally then they start you on stimulation injections like gonal-f,follitism,menopur,bravelle,etc. You take then for about 2 weeks before retrieval. So basically if you start birth control on lets say november 1st then your retrieval will be around dec15-20th. Its a long list of meds and waiting. IVF is very stressful if you ask me. How are you sure that you need to do IVF???

Sorry just read your profile and figured out why you have to go through IVF.
