How I timed emergency IVF with cancer treatment

So once we made the decision to go ahead and do IVF, I started on hormones immediately. I was injecting myself one or two times a day for a number of days until enough eggs were ready and we could do the procedure. There was a lot of timing involved. I had a trip scheduled for Mexico that I couldn’t go on, which, you know, in retrospect is ok. But I think the overall timing of the IVF was probably three weeks. I believe I started chemotherapy in early or mid September, so I think maybe it was three to four weeks, the overall timing of it.

I wasn’t concerned about having to postpone my treatment. My doctor actually said this is the right time, you have this much time and we want you to have this option available.
