I know what you mean by feeling so alone. When i began this IVF process I was feeling completely alone. That's why I came online and found a fantastic community of support. i hope you can do the same! :D

I don't know how long it will take. you're body is probably trying to sort everything out ...

Here is a list of abbreviations I have been so graciously provided with!

ACA = Anti-cardiolipin Antibodies
ACTH = Adrenal Corticotropic Hormone
AF = Aunt Flo (menstruation)
AH, AZH = Assisted Hatching
AHI = At-home Insemination
a.i = alt.infertility newsgroup
a.i.a, aia = alt.infertility ...

I am looking for some explanations of fertility symbols. I've heard of certain animals representing fertility. I'd like to get some funky socks with these animals on them to wear for my ER and ET! I think it will be cute and a little wacky! Any ideas! Thanks!

That's great news Jodic! When do you go back for your implantation?

I have PCOS as well and am worried of OHSS. Hopefully your RE will be able to monitor you more closely this time. I believe your RE will adjust your medication accordingly. It's always a gamble! I start my first IVF cycle on the 22nd! Scared to death!

Hi Jodic -

I didn't get an e-mail from you! Good luck with your ER tomorrow! What a memorable day! Wishing you all the best!

Hello!

I am looking for someone who would like to be a chat buddy. I am beginning the whole IVF process and would like to connect with a woman who is undergoing or underwent the same journey as I am beginning. You can read more about me on my blog:

Hi all - I am beginning the whole IVF process. I am a little concerned with a test I have to undergo. It's called a uterine sounding. I believe it involves saline solution and measuring of my uterus. Anyone else undergone this test? Does it hurt? Can you give me details? Thanks!
