Dont really mind, if we join the two, how ever not sure how u can do that,

I am starting july 25th, then through til end of Aug, it's always difficult when cycles over lap, but it doesnt matter,

I am so looking fwd to starting and so want a BFP,

Dh was crying last night, and it takes a lot for him to cry, it's all over the limits we now have, and we only have money for 5 ccyles and thats pushing it to the edge, Sad but true, anyway lets not think of that yet xx

Nickii,

Great to see you on IVF the same time as me, give or take a few days.
I'm really excited this time. You would think after 3 go's I wouldn't be but hey ho, PMA PMA PMA......

I'm on the short cycle which takes 14 days start to finish... assuming my FSH is -6 and E2 is around 180, I'm good to go in 20 days time...

I really hope August testing will be our month..we've waited long enough.

Hi guys,

Just joining you all. I think I've met most of you before. We are just waiting for AF to arrive then we start our third and final IUI. AF is due on the 28th July, giving me an approximate IUI date of the 10th Aug, test date around the 24th Aug.

If that cycle fails then we are going to start IVF asap. We have our first counselling appointment on the 19th July in preparation for IVF.

So thats me. I'll add my dates onto the list and will keep an eye out for the news if you all decide to join September.

Hi Girls

Not sure whether I'm lacking in the PMA by joining this thread :cry: I had my first donor IUI today :D If its a BFN (which obviously I hope its not!) then I will be cycling again at the end of the month (AF due 27th July) I'm in the same bought as Nicki and am doing the 10 cycles of donor sperm month on month til I get BFP (altho Nicki is doing 2 ampules of donor sperm per cycle therefore 5 cycles)

Nick - I'm sorry to hear dh was upset last night. Its such a tough game all of this - it WILL work out for you tho honey, he'll see :wink:

So am I being to negative by joining? I just don't want to get to the end of the month then join and not have got to know you ladies. Could also do with some company on this long 16 day wait too 8)

Hi Ladies,

We are finally growing, and getting on the way.

Welcome Lis, we all go through lack of PMA, I am on my 3rd cycle of IVF and to be honest i don't have much hope in it working, but there is still some hope there, and you do have some hope as you have said.

10 cycles is a lot and i'm sure you will get the BFP from one of them, and not have to go onto IVF.
I have everything crossed for you, well nearly everything not my legs as i need to get my frosties into their warm, comfy home for the next 9 months.

I have my US tomorrow, but got the feeling that my FET will be delayed as AF was late and only finished yesterday.

Keep well and full of PMA ladies...

Hugs Rachel OXO

I guess I should join you ladies! I have been watching the July thread and will continue to do so but I should be testing in August so thought it better to be with all of you!
This is my first IVF cycle and I'm due to start Lupron on 07/18. Scary! We will be having 2 put back.
My DD will be turning 10 in August and what better a birthday gift to her than a BFP. She's been hounding me for a sibling since she was 4! This is definitely my time, I have very little doubt.

Blessings to you all!

Hello ladies,

It nice to see new names here. I'm starting very late july or early august (depending on when AF starts). I'm looking forward to it, which is strange since all my previous attempts turned out rubbish. Shouldn't complain though, worse things can happen.

This was going to be my last go but hubby thinks we should go again if this fails. Will see how I feel, don't want to send myself round the bend trying to do this. I try to look at it this way. I have the best husband in the world, he's so nice, he's absolutely gorgeous and as long as I have him, I have everything. A baby would just complete us as a family. I have great stepchildren which I love to bits and they are so supportive to us (21 & 25 years old).

I'm really hoping that it works this time. I feel so much better in myself. I have no anxiety (yet), I eat better, I'm fitter. I have way more PMA than any of my 3 previous attempts.

So PMA PMA PMA for everyone in August...I really hope the old wives tale is true, that you can get pregnant easier in the summer months than any other time. This will be my first time in the summer.

So what's everyone else up to?? Lets get this thread going..
