yes indeedy- 36 days in a row on bcp is a lot, but I am on "their" cycle now, and it seems they'll be starting me along with 5 or so other women, and due to the holidays, that's the schedule -grrrr! my boobs are HUGE!!!! I can only imagine how crazy I'll look when I'm preggers -they'll probably call ...

the week between!
I am busy cleaning up and getting prepared -Dh & I have a big new year's day recovery party each year - movies, food, and drinks all day long - hope you all are having a marvelous holiday!
There were a lot of wee ones this year, and it was sort of exciting and a little bit scary ...

Hi gang!
Rio thanks for the calendar
I am on BCP until 7th Jan(that's like 36 days straight -grrrr!)
then start hormone shots on 12 January and then egg retrieval 21-23 Jan depending on hormone levels
then implantation 24-26 Jan
then- 2WW I think
are you sure they have you on shots for 21 days ...

Hi and Welcome 21!

It's my 1st cycle in January, so I can't answer questions about shots/hormones or anything, though I'm sure there are some other ladies and men :wink: who can talk about that !
What I can tell you is that my doc has been working with me since Dh and I jumped on the IF wagon about ...

Hi gals!
I think if all goes well with me, eggs,sperm and the lab - they will implant 3, but I have a couple of friends -same stats as DH & me, and they did 1 time IVF - 2 ETs and had twins! - they suggested that DH and I only let them implant 2 - but I do not want to have things not work out- seems ...

hee hee hee! Rio, that's exactly what I had last night- sushi& wine -dee-lish!

I hate the bc pills, I am sooo puffy - was only ever on them in my early 20's - and briefly - as I've always hated how they made me feel -well, just 20 more days and maybe never again!
I think I'm going to go get a ...

Super Rio! we can be all hopped up on hormones at the same time

Mia, I say- don't put your life on hold - celebrate the time you have with DH and your anni, maybe a weekend away, but skiing may be pushing it if you're on the 2ww- perhaps sippin cocoa by the fire at the lodge, and let him do the ...

Hey Mia, corny,emma rio and all

just back from my trial transfer this morning. Everything looked good, had 8 follies on the right, and less on the left with a small cyst on leftie - but they say no worries -so I'm going with that and cruising on into another emotional xmas - :wink:

cheers and welcome- I am really glad to have found this forum -nice to know there are a lot of us out here going through the ...

hi waiting for mia,
yes- my DH has 4% morphology- and has what is called Teratozoospermia- crazy name for weirdly shaped sperm. They tried to assure me that this did not affect the quality of sperm DNA and such ,but that the shape made it impossible for them to actually penetrate the egg if they did ...

Hi ladies (and gents if any)
I will be starting my 1st IVF in January,too and know about the process, but little about the physical and emotional toll the hormones etc will take- only what I have read on the MB.
I am very excited about the process and posted an intro last week with a little ditty ...
