Hello Everyone!

Tracii and Leigh, it looks like around September 27 is a popular time to start DRing as I just had my first shot of Lupron, thanks to my very loving and patient DH, because though I am not afraid of needles, I found it much different with the idea of giving it myself. Leigh, Are you ...

Hello Everyone. Is it too late to join? I have just started my first IVF cycle and targeting a ER/ET for the week of October 17. It seems that it has taken me forever to start this process, but now that it is finally here everything happens so quickly and could use support.

Good Luck Everyone!

Hi. Good luck next week! I'll be thinking of you. I can only imagine how upsetting it would be have a cycle cancelled. How many times have you cycled? Keep me posted!

I'll be on Lupron for my entire cycle. Yipeee! My protocol is:
1. BCP's for 14 days
2. BCP's for 7 days + 10 units Lupron
3. 5 units ...

Colleen- Thank you so much for the reply. It is greatly appreciated! Yes, I am doing IVF. I am just starting my first cycle of IVF ever. My RE has started me out with OCs and I begin Lupron next Tuesday. I am also prone to migraines and had several while on Clomid. But I have to agree the suffering ...

Hello Everyone, I will soon be starting my Lupron injections. I was wondering if any of you could tell me what to expect.

Also, I have a cyst and my RE said with the Lupron injections it may go away. Has anyone experienced this?

No, I have not. I am looking into ARC and a few others. I even found that Capital One offers a 5.9% loan for IVF. However, out of all my current options, a home equity loan may be my only way to go.

Sarah - I am so sorry to hear your news. My thoughts and prayers witll be with you and your DH. I know nothing I can say will comfort you, but it is so promising that you were able to achieve pregnancy. Take sometime for yourself and I agree with Princess, a good stiff drink, or two, or three may ...

Lisa,
Do you have the timing for your Saline Sono? Please keep us posted!

Hello September Sweeties!

It looks like I may be joining you in late September - unless there are more delays. :( I was supposed to get my CD3 blood work done last week, but I volunteered to be a participant for a clinical trial for a new Ferring Drug study (the drug is currently approved in Israel ...

Hello! Though I have not had any personal experience with injecting Progestrone, I have been reading any book I can get my hands on regarding IVF. One book recommends the following for Progestrone in Oil:

Prior to preping the syringe, warm the vial slightly to the help the medicine be injected. The ...

Lisa,
A saline sonogram or saline HSG seems to be a pretty routine test that is effective at revealing what may be going on in the uterine cavity. However, from personal experience it is far less helpful at identifying problems with fallopian tubes as compared to the standard HSG.

The saline HSG ...

Thank you for all your kind words. Based on your thoughts and discussion with DH, we have decided not to inform his family.

Thank you Again!

I am so sorry to hear about the pain cause by the cyst removal. Lots of PMA as you complete your cycle.

You are in my prayers!

Does anyone know of any supplement insurance that exists for Infertility to help with the costs? If so, is it state dependent (I live in MI). I have done limited researching on the web and find some of it confusing.
