lynniecat, karen, brenda3, and ghost, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your protocols and info. I was a poor responder, and am curious as to what my doctor may suggest next. It's nice to have a little bit of an understanding of what to expect at my next consultation. maineknitter ttc 5yrs ...

Hi Dakota, My acupuncturist just got back from a fertility seminar last week and they told her that after conception you should still have acupuncture once a week to keep your lining healthy. I haven't seen her yet since she got back, but when I do, I'll let you know what she has to say. Maineknitte...

oh, and I forgot to mention all the pimples on my face! i never have any anyone else getting this?

Hi everyone, I'm also in my 2WW and have been following your messages. It's so reassuring to hear we are all in the same boat. The progesterone is also confusing the heck out of me also. I started off with a sore throat for a couple days, then came the restless leg syndrome so i couldn't fall asleep...

hi angram, thanks for the reply. i haven't had an ultrasound yet, but have to check in with the nurse again tomorrow, so maybe they'll suggest one. all i've had is bloodwork. Did you still go straight to the stimms, or did you have to wait another month?

Hi curly, Isn't it all so confusing! From what i remember my doc telling me was that the purpose of the BCP was to relax your ovaries and that you should get your period so that you can generate a new fresh one for the ET. He had said a period should come three days or so after you stop the BCP. I m...

Hi Everyone, Has anyone experienced a late period on Lupron? I started Lupron on May 20, and expected my period on the 26th, but AF still has not arrived! I'm on day 33 of my cycle, and usually i have a 26 day cycle! The nurse said it's normal, but i'm still curious 'how normal'. My progesterone on ...

Hi steph! welcome! well ladies, i've had a wrench thrown in my works here. little family crisis going on, so i decided to postpone IVF :cry: there is just so much stress going on that i don't want it to affect my success rate. we'll probably put it off for a month or two. it's killing me, but i know...

Hi there, My doc instructed me to have my day 2-3 bloodwork before i start the bcp. he said you can start the bcp up to five days after you start your period, making day one any day of the week. i think the hormones in the bcp would give false readings in your bloodwork, as they want 'natural' condi...

Yup, first IVF for me. Tried three cycles of IUI with follistem with no luck. :? But glad I did because i know how i respond to the meds and know what to expect. i'm a little frustrated on how long this is all taking :x . seems like everyone on these forums and people i know jump into the process fa...

Hi Grey, Jessica, and Cheryl! So very nice to meet all of you :) That's great that's we're all so close with our cycles. I started AF on Friday the 22nd, and started the BCP on Sunday the 24th. Grey, i now exactly what you mean about the control thing!! I had my whole schedule mapped out for the mon...

Hello Ladies, I was going to jump on the March/April thread, but there are so many of us out there that I thought I might try to start a new one. Anyone want to join me? I'm waiting for my AF end of this week and hope to start BCP later next week, after I get all the necessary blood work done. I'm g...

steph-lets jump over to the ivf thread. there is already a thread there, but there are so many people on it that it's hard to keep track, so i might start a new one.

mkdig-i really hope this iui works for you and that we DON'T see you over on the ivf thread!!

steph and mkdig :x :x :x sucks bad about your bfn's. it's so darn frustrating at this point. mkdig, hang in there for one more, it's worth the try since the IVF will be so much more involved and expensive. steph i'm jealous you got to start your bcp already! i'm dying to get going on this! my consul...

GOOD LUCK STEPH AND MKDIG
