Pep23-Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, it was an extremely difficult decision to make. This will be a time of healing for us, rediscovery and what we mean to one another and time to count our blessings. My heart and prayers are with you as continue on your journey.

Vicky, Carolyn and Charity,
Thanks so much you guys for your heartfelt words and hugs that I feel coming across the internet. I needed that. My d/h said he didn't know exactly how he would react when I made the call to the RE to cancel, but he started crying at work and said he is feeling great loss ...

To all of you brave women out there-good luck. I have been a part of this group for a little while now, but wanted to say goodbye.

I am due to start my b/c pills on Wed, but know in my heart and in my head that I just cannot do this. My d/h and I have been on a ttc rollercoaster for 8 years now ...

Thanks all for your replies about the weight gain. I appreciate it. I'm just waiting for AF to arrive. I have been lately questioning yet again if I want to go through with this. I keep thinking that maybe I should call my RE and tell him I want to do IUI w/Injectables instead. But he only gave us a ...

Hey, I have a quick question. For those of you have gone through ivf already, is there weight gain when going through the cycle? I mean other than the bloating and such?

Thanks everyone!

I'm so sorry to be asking such a stupid question, but could someone please tell me what a chemical pregnancy is? This is going to be my first ivf and I'm starting my bcp in a couple weeks or whenever AF arrives.

thanks so much!

Thanks all for all of you responses regarding the meds. They said I'll be on bcp for about 21 days and then start Lupron. That's about all I know so far. They just said to call my next day 1 and then they will arrange to have the remainder of the tests taken-exam, hystersonogram, s/s for hubby...
I ...

Erin,
Thanks for the feedback. I sure would appreciate if you just keep my informed. I'm nervous about the shots too. The only things I'm worried about are vomitting and dizziness. I think I can (hopefully) cope with the rest of it. I'm hoping it won't be a problem though.

Beachbaby-what is ...

Fed-
I see from your ticker count that you just started your Lupron. How did it go giving the shot to yourself and are you experiencing any type of side effects?

Charity,

You can't know how terrible I feel for what has happened. Its just not fair that insurance companies decide for us weather or not we can have children. I will truly miss your presence here. You mean so much to all of us here.
I hope something can be worked out soon. I will continue to keep ...

Steph,
Great to have you on this board with us! These women here are so great and its really wonderful to be able to talk with people from all over the world. We are also starting our first IVF. I am waiting for AF to come and then be on bcp. I also have hypothyroidism. I am on a med that I take ...

Nimble,
You are right, people seem to be the same all over the world. Guess you've heard quite a bit of similar things yourself, huh. Well, what can you do. I think I'll have to come up with some great one-liners of sarcasm the next time someone goes spouting off or is asking too many questions ...

Souris -I think you are right. I tend to give out too much info to people and I shouldn't do that. I open the door and they walk right in marching around about their opinions. lol I'm so glad to have met some wonderful people here. Hey, just a question, what is downregg? Glad you have a plan ...

Well I just got the call from my RE. He said that my FSH was 8.8 and my LH was 7 and that they want them both under 10. So they said it was good. I don't know how good, but good. They said to call on my next day 1 or day 35 if I don't get it since my cycle length can be a little longer from the ...

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!

Hope all of you had a great New Year's Eve. Ours was okay spent time with family. A neighbor of my brother's was spending time with us that night and I made the mistake of asking her if she has ever done accupuncture. She has ...
