Hi all,
I am about to start my first cycle of IVF in April. I have done most of my prescreening. I have one blocked tube from ectopic preg. I am waiting to start BCP this month. I have an appt Friday to discuss exactly what protocal I am going to follow with this cycle of IVF.

I did my first cycle last year (unsuccesfully unfortunately). Try and think of it as an interesting journey and not let the actual reason you're doing it become obssesive - not easy of course. I managed to do that and when the bad news came I was ok-ish. Hope yours is a different outcome and good luck!

Hi all
This whole situation is already very emotional and straining on a relationship. I havent even got to the "real" stuff yet and the most difficult part thus far has been my DH. Of course he wants to have a child, but when it came to the last option of IVF....he FREAKED out! He was totally against the whole "manufactured child" or "Petridish baby" thing. He took it so personally and thought of it as a dysfunction or a disability and if we just closed our eyes it would go away. We have talked, cried, yelled...you name it and we have come to the agreement to go ahead with IVF. I know he doesnt like it very much and I know I can't really turn to him for the Greatest support. Not that he wouldnt be there for me, i just know he wants the IVF part to be over and us to just be pregnant. Don't get me wrong I love my DH to death and I know he isnt normally this way but me being a nurse I know and understand the medical field a little more then he does so I chauk it all up to mostly the "unknown. " We met with our RE a few times and he feels a little better about the procedure.

Im not DH bashing! It's just emotions are running high around here..!! and My AF is due anyday!!..lol

Thanks for letting me vent!
