Hi All, Thanks soo much!!! I can feel all your love and positive thoughts coming right through the screen. I was so disappointed after I spoke to that nurse. I feel so much better after reading all of your replies. My DH has been trying to keep me positive all day too. He's wonderful and I'm so luck...

Hi All, Hope everyone had a nice relaxing Saturday. I got some news today. I'm having my egg retrieval on Monday morn. The nurse called while I was on the road to my future sister in law's batchelerette party. She was supposed to call my house and leave the instructions with my husband. Had to pull ...

Hi All, Hope everyone had a nice day. I went for tests again today. I'm excited to have a few follies today, 2 big ones, 2 med and several smaller. :D Don't remember the sizes exactly. They're starting me on Ganerelix now along with the Follistim 600 I'm already on. More shots...wooohooo!! They want...

Hi All, Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. We were busy with birthdays on Saturday and laid low on Sunday. The neighbors had lots of bombs going off so there was plenty to watch. The dog hates the noise so we try to stay with him to keep him comfortable. He's old so we don't want to drug him...

Hi All, Tried acupuncture today. Hey, what's a few more pokes for good measure?:) The Dr is a Chinese gyne and specializes in Chinese medicine. She said my numbers looked good and 3 treatments should help before the ER if I have any. I still felt like a pincusion but it wasn't bad. I go in the morni...

Hi All, Thanks for all your well wishes. 2nd day of stims. Having to get 2 shots each time isn't fun, 1 on each side. I need 600 iu of folistim but the pen only goes to 450. Bonus!!! Hopefully it'll stir up some fresh eggs that aren't too old. My dh is still nervous each time we do the shots. You th...

Hi All, Heard from my cousin who went through IVF last year and had healthy twins, Boy & Girl in March. She said she found Pregnancy tests at the dollar store. If things go well I'll be stocking up! :) Franny- Had to be cool to meet Whoopi. She looks like she could be fun to be around. Lots of baby ...

Hi All, Hope everyone had a great weekend. MOORE and HOPE- Thanks so much for the comforting advice. It's reassuring to hear from those that have been through this that it's not as difficult as it seems. The Dr gave me a dvd with detailed instructions. I'm sure we can handle it. My DH can't believe ...

Hi All, So sorry to hear about some of your disappointments. Glad to hear things are encouraging for others. I go in for my blood work and ultrasound on Wed.

Hi All, Please help out a newby!!! Just got my meds. Yeah, like that's not intimidating. Looking forward to starting the next faze of the process. Waiting for the nurse to call to tell me to start my injections. I'm soooo nervous!! I can't believe this didn't happen naturally. I had my daughter at 1...

Hi Everyone, Great to finally start chatting with you all. First, is anyone over 45 or knows of anyone over 45 doing IVF with their own eggs? I can't seem to find any info or stats on this. I'm 46 and having my first IVF in July. I'm on bc pills now that aren't working. I've been spotting for 11 day...
