I'm new to this website and I thought I would start posting here since I'm about to start my first IVF trial. The project has been postponed for all kinds of reasons in the last year, and now I really can't wait for it to begin! I've bought all the meds and I'm about to start taking Marvelon. The only thing is...
MY MENSES JUST WON'T START!
Go figure! This is SO ironic! I was supposed to start my period on Sunday or Monday... and as I write this, still nothing. I'm now on Day 32 and my cycles are usually 28-29 days long. My husband and I agreed to do a HPT this morning even if we both knew that becoming pregnant naturally would really be a miracle. Well, I got a BFN of course. I was still disappointed, you know... you never stop hoping in a way
But I'm okay now. The only thing is, as you probably know from your own experience, the waiting is killing me! I prayed so I that my transfer would happen on the BEST date possible, and stated I was ready to accept the consequences... here are the consequences! ack!
Either way, my menses will start in the next few days, so it will be great to share the IVF process with people who are also doing it at the same time.
Are there any people from Montreal here? I'll do my first cycle with Procrea.Take care!

) Feeling less alone already! 
But you know, one of the very first shocks I had about becoming part of the IVF community is that the best support I received was from fertile couples, and not from infertile ones! First there was the partner of one of my husband's colleagues/friends. They had been trying for about 9 months without success. They had gone through tests, but everything came back normal. And they were also told that no extra measures would be taken before they went through the full 12 months trial delay. I can understand that she was frustrated. However, there I was, still recovering from my surgery, and she asks what the news are. I tell her that our chances are now ruined for natural conception, and I tell her I'll have to go to IVF. Her reaction? A very cranky, "I hope you realize your luck!" 
Even if I understand that not knowing why it's not working is very frustrating, it was very tactless. I know exactly what's going on with my body, yeah, but it's still an awful loss nevertheless! hehehe, I remember how her partner complained about how having a spermogram was a pain in the neck. 
some people just don't turn situations to their advantages: I accompanied my husband in the spermogram room last summer and brought nice lingerie. We had fun and it was very passionate, very loving; we did not even need the magazines! And let me tell you, the same will happen on the ER day! 
) and the first thing he told me was: "Don't do it. Go to adoption directly; IVF is a very emotional process." He had gone through 3 IVF trials and failed... they adopted a lovely girl... but hey, they were both in their forties when they tried IVF. Again, it was very tactless to discourage me like that, knowing very well that I was much younger and that our situation was very different. So again, even if I understand his bitterness, the best support I got was from fertile couples. My best friend, for example... we're the same age, and she's currently trying to conceive with her husband. When I learned the news after the surgery, however, she was dead serious when she offered to wait until I had a successful IVF cycle before trying on her own, because she did not want me to suffer if she was successful and not me! The sweet, sweet girl! 
My body feels weird, too, cramps from time to time... heaviness as if I was about to start my menses... bwl. But! It will happen sooner or later! Thanks for replying!

Meeting with Dr
Do you plan to do an HPT? When will you do it?
but I'll choose to feel lucky instead; who knows, if my body finally cooperates, our cycles would be real close and that's amazing!
