[Vickie]

Hi guys!!!

There r so many nice people to talk to in this thread i'm gettin really confused!!!!
Is so cool that a lot of us start our inj's at around the same time - i go for my 1st one 2 weeks 2day!!!!!......

I can't wait and hope i don't feel too ill, its the hot sweats i'm most worried about coz i get hot enough now as it is!!!

Dione - We'll b havin our treatment at the same time so we'll keep everything crossed that we BOTH get a BFP!! ... I'm gonna b a nervous wreck in the 2ww!!

Lisa - I will br praying that ur 4th attempt works for u, it sounds like u really deserve it, u will get ur achance and this time next year u will have a beautiful little bundle of joy in ur arms!!!1

Kate - we too only start our treatment a few days apart so we too will b able to share our BFP's!!! How do u feel, r u getting nervous??

Emma- I am so glad that u told me that the bleeding may b a good thing for me, I'm so new to it, i feel stupid that i don't really understand any of it!!! I'm so sorry!! But this is ur 1st IVF too so as ur a little ahead of me hopefully u'll b able to fill me in on what's happening!

And finally.. Souris good luck!!!

Well, good luck and best wishes to every1, bring on all those BFP's !!!!!!!

Hello Ladies,

Just stopping by to say hello. I was reading all the posts and there are some exciting things happening.

I just wanted to say that I will be on vacation relaxing with DH and the 6 year old we take care of and my neice on Pelee Island (most southern point in Canada). The day we come back, I start Lupron. I'll see you all then and update you on my first injection EVER!!!! rrrrr....scary! I can't wait to get to know you all better in Late July/August.

Good luck to all. See you in a bit!!

Good growing, good baby dancing, good sticking

Hi everyone

Can I add myself into this thread. I was around earlier on this year when we had 2 rounds of unsucessful IUI and we are now just starting with IVF. AF started on Monday and I am off to the clinic tommorow for the scan so not sure if I will be testing in August or September.

Hi Nicki, Nice to see you are still around and good luck for this time.

WELCOME ANGELA!!!

They are a great bunch of ladies on here ready to help you anytime.

Well looks like most of you are on your way, a lot of AF arriving, which is great news.

MBAChick - Have a great holiday and come back nice and relaxed and raring to go.......

NickiMark - I'm only an Aug lady for 3 days as i test on Aug 3rd, but i don't care you all are stuck with me

PAULA WHERE ARE YOU HUN, YOU MUST BE BACK OFF HOLS BY NOW!!!!

Well i'm starting to get excited now!!!!
I have my FET tomorrow morning at 8.30am, hopefully they will put back 3 pretty, healthy embies and they will snuggle right in.
The only part i'm not looking forward to is the full bladder. I couldn't hold it last time and had to go, but luckily i had drank too much so it quickly filled back up again.

We are away for one of the 2ww, were going to Chesapeake Bay Maryland. Work for DH but total ralaxation, sitting by the waterfront reading a book, taking gentle stroll down the piers for me.
So hopefully that will make the time go a bit quicker.

Take Care
Hugs

Hi anglea, we cycle together!!1 Yeah!!!

How are you with having IVF??? For us we had to stick with IUI, no IVF allowed at the moment with donor sperms??

Dont ask why I dont know, they wont allow donor sperm to be used for IVF, but hey i am happy, so thats cool, We are IUI'ing for 10 more goesXXX

[Dory]

Well it's here!!!!!!

I leave for the hospital in 10 mins for my FET.
Wish me luck...............
I don't feel nervous or excited yet, probably because i'm an old hand at it now......
Well lets hope they got 3 good embyros and it's 3rd time lucky

Take Care all
Hugs

Well I had my baseline scan and bloods this morning and I'm not quite ready for stims just yet. Everything is looking good though and I had my lesson in stims injections (I'll be on Menopur) which seemed confusing but I am sure I will get used to it. Have to phone tomorrow morning so they can let me know when to start/how much to use.
Can anyone tell me how long the stimming stage usually lasts?
Hope everyone else is having a good day

Well guys im back!!!!!

All went well they had to defrost 6 embryos to get 3 healthy ones.

They implanted a 9 cell, 5 cell, and 2 cell. So now they are snuggling down in their home for the next nine months.

We have 4 frosties left, so if we are not fortunate to make it this time, we have one go left and that will be our last.

Good luck to you all

I'm new to this board, and new to IVF, so I aplogise in advance if I make any faux pas on this board. I'm due to start down-regulating in August.

I've just signed my consent forms and am now waiting to hear exact instructions!

I have no tubes (they were removed 2 months ago) and lots of other complicated medical stuff (crohns, ileostomy, 6 major operations on my stomach) but I am remaining realistically positive and hopeful as ever

The very best of luck to all the August buddies, I will be thinking of you.
