loopie - and everyone else........

When I went to the RE for the initial consultation, I told them that I was having problems with cramps, and so they put me on bcp then and have had me on them for over three months now without taking the last week, just staying on them non-stop...(which has been ...

Hello everyone,

Just checking in after the weekend. I hope you are all doing well.

Rio - I love the idea about a message board for the poor DHs who will be dealing with all of us in our hyper-hormonal stages! ha!

Mia - I have a really good feeling about Jan/Feb....a feeling that we are going to ...

Hi loopie!!

Welcome! This is defintely a positive place, so you're in the right spot! Jan 6th I start the injections - and this is also my first IVF. I did take clomid a few years ago and did IUI 4 times, but it didn't work. The IVF makes me very hopeful athough - I can't wait to get started, but ...

Thanks Mia. My sister doesn't have any kids, so it's nice to know that it won't slip. That must have been tough for you. You have made me feel a little better about keeping this under wraps, and I appreciate your input.

We too are doing ICSI. How many of you are doing that? Is it pretty common? My dh had a vasectomy long before we met. They said that after so long is was suspected that a reversal would be unsuccessful. so that is why we decided on ICSI. Poor DH will have to have a procedure at the same time as my ...

Hi Michelle, I am so glad you are past this "hump"! Good luck with the fertilization report! After the transfer later this week, we will all be waiting for your BFP report!!!!

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better. I've never really had a problem with needles in the past, but I never had to do it myself either! ha! I'm getting more excited the closer it gets.

I hope everyone is in good spirits and ready to start this rollercoaster ride! :D

Have a great day ...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to stop in and say good morning to all!

waitingformia, we will be two days apart - doesn't get much closer than that!

I have to tell you all, the injections sounded fairly easy - but now that I have gotten the meds and seen the syrnges, I'm just a little freaked out ...

Of course you can join us! :D It sounds like we will be close on cycles too. I start injections on 1/6. This is my first IVF, and I'm a little nervous. With my finances being what they are, this is a one-time shot for me. I am very happy to have found this site and all of you!! I think it will be ...

Hi cornybaby! It sounds like we will be close on our timing! I just ordered my first 2 weeks of injections, and it makes everything so....REAL all of a sudden! I know I don't need them for a few weeks, but with my finances, I have to get them in bits and pieces. :roll:

I hope everyone is having a ...

Good morning all! This is so funny - I was thinking of starting this thread today too! ha! I start injections on Jan 6th, and the waiting is hard. I just want to get started! (This is my first IVF, so I'll be looking for a lot of answers and advice along the way!) :D I am surprisingly optimistic ...

Thanks for sharing ladies! As you may already know, I don't even start the injections until the first week of January, but am trying to gather all of the information that I can so I have an idea of what to expect. Have a wonderful day, and thanks again! Hopefully we will all have BFP announcements ...

I was just wondering how long you and your REs suggested as a resting period before returning to normal activity after ER and ET?

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

jomae - I'm in the same boat. I don't start meds until the first week of January. The waiting is killing me - I can't wait to get this started. As anxious as I am, I know the 2WW will be really rough.

I just want to once again ...

Yes, I made it! I also have dial-up, and it sucks! (But I might still have to get online this weekend.) Hope you all have a great weekend, and since I haven't started meds, I will do as she suggests and have a cocktail for you!!!!
