HI,
I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD CHIME IN AND SEE IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO START A BUDDY LIST FOR AUGUST/SEPTEMBER. I DON'T REALLY FIT INTO THE JULY/AUGUST. I AM STARTING BCP ON SUNDAY AND SHOULD BE STARTING INJECTIONS ON 8/22 MY ESTIMATED RETRIEVAL IS 9/09. I HOPE THAT THERE IS SOME OF YOU OUT THERE STARTING SOON ALSO. I AM SOOOOOOOO NERVOUS, THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST TRY WITH IVF/ICSI.

Hi Amy

I think I am in the same boat as you - I joined July/August thread but everyone else is way ahead - I start injections on 8/8 and egg retrieval is scheduled for week commencing 10th Sept - this is our first time and its really scary but exciting at the same time. We have not told anyone - not even parents at this stage so this is our only source of support.

Look forward to going on the journey with you and that we both have BFP's!!!

In the meantime lots of luck and baby dust x x x

It does seem like alot of people on here do get there BFPs so hopefully this forum is good luck. Wow I can't believe you haven't told anyone I kind of wish I would have done the same thing. Just because if it doesn't work everyone will be feeling sorry for us. I told my parents mostly because I am real close to my mom and they are helping us pay for some of it because we don't have infertility coverage. But I wish that I would not have tould some of my coworkers. It was kind of hard not too because of all the appoitments I have scheduled so far. So your retrieval is the same week that mine should be, what kind of protocal are you on?
They told me the tentative dates but they have not told me what medications yet, just that I have to start bcp tommorrow.

Hi Amy
Its so diificult knowing who to tell and who not to tell, I am not sure I can deal with my mum when my hormones and emotions are all over the place and I know she wouold only worry more about me - thankfully they live about 3 hours drive away so that also makes it easier!

Its real diiifuclt with work too - we are going private as wait is too long and not got age on my side so at least that gives a bit more flexibility with appointment times!

Oh well at least the sun is shinning for us today - off to the gym and then chilling - have a good day whatever you are up to

Not long now till this whole process starts - 10 days till injections start

- and hopefully loads of baby dust will come both opur ways and BFP's XXX

Hi there ... I will be starting my birth control pills on about 8/13/07. This is my 1st time for IVF. I recieved all my meds via UPS today and I was WAY overwhelmed! OMG - I was not expecting that.

I am so nervous about all this .... but I know it will be worth it in the end. I feel so alone ...

Hi Lacy,
This will be my first IVF cycle too! It is so overwhelming. Hope that we all come out with BFP's. Do you know when your estimated retrieval will be?
Can't wait to get this going.

hey ladies
i hope i can join with you guys but as i read the posting i feel like a vetaren to some of you guys i will be starting my 4th cycle either this month or september depending on how i feel my 1st cycle was cancelled, 2 and 3rd i got bfn. and this is such i hard round to go down you really have to have tough skin but i am hoping and praying that this is it. i have 2 kids but i got married and my husband doesnt have any but after my last child i put clamps on my tubes until i met the right one but they never told me that it was so expensive to take off and also that you have a higher risk for a etopic pregancy so thats why i decided ivf and also my husband has low sperm count so we do icsi which my eggs always fertilize its the implantation that doesnt happen. but i start ancupunture they say it helps and i am hoping it really does. so i am here for you guys if u need me.

Cheekskuss - I will continue to pray for you. I am sure you hear people say all the time "just be happy you have 2 children already" ... Well of course you are happy for that but your husband does not and I can only imagine how hard that must be. So your issue is that you do not implant? You have wonderful quality of eggs and then they dont implant once they are in you?

AMY - If my calculations are correct I estimate that I will be doing retrival around the week of Sept. 8th - 12th. I have to wait until I start my period to start. I had to order my RX's through mail order company so my ins. would pay for it. THANK GOD they did --- $4500 worth of medicines! YIKES! I look forward to having buddies to help me with this. When do you think you will be doing YOUR retrival?

Cheers,
Lacy

lace let me tell you i hurt for all the women on the boards who dont have any thats why i dont really express how i feel about what i am going threw ivf because i dont know what you all are really going threw because i am not there but i understand the frustrations with ivf and i always pray that all the one can get there gift of having a child.

but with me i just dont undrstand why they are not implanted my re said my eggs are text book egg of the best quality and i had kids already so i dont know what is the problem why they wont implant i started ancupunture i drink alot of water now i didnt before i hate water and i was smoking cigretts but they say it brings down your chances maybe its true but what about all the women who smoke and get pg.

My retrieval should be around 9/9 so we should be really close to eachother. I am getting too excited too soon.
Cheeks
I know how you feel about feeling really bad for anyone that doesn't have children yet. I too have a little boy who is now 5 from a previous relationship, unfortunatly his father passed away. I think the process is easier for me because I at least

know that I still have my little angle here at home, but I really hurt for my husband, even though he treats my son as his own I know that I can not know his exact pain. My sister is going through problems too she has had two miscarraiges already does not have any children yet. I quess we all want a baby to hold and we will do what ever it takes to get there.
To everyone else,
Hope this waiting goes quick so we can get on with the cycle and get closer to our dreams.

sorry everyone didn't mean to post that twice

amybbc · Post by **amybbc** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 2:20 am

Hi everyone,
Well I hate to be a downer but I just found out that my sister in law is pregnant after 1 month of ttc. She is due in Febuary and that would make her almost 3 months. Don't get me wrong I am happy for them but getting the news was heart renching for me, I can't even sleep right now. I talked to her about a month ago and she was keeping this whole thing from us. I don't know why this is making me so sad. I feel like a horrible person for feeling that way. I never would wish infertility on anyone. And when I see people on this site get bfps I feel so happy to know that there is a happy ending to this. Oh well I just thought I would share that with you ladies because no one else that I can talk to knows what it is like to deal with this. Thanks for listening. I am going to try so hard from here on out to have a great attitude about all this. I quess you just need to let all the emotion out sometimes. Hope everyone is doing well and good night,
Amy

Hello everyone - its so good that there are more of us all going through this at the same time - it looks like we are nearly all on ER for week commencing 9/9 - god willing we will all get BFP

We have just returned from a dash up the motorway to see my Grandma who is dying - she has had a great life and is 98 but it does not make it any easier - just a matter of time

Anyway we had previously decided not to tell my parents as felt would be unable to cope with all additional emotions but my wonderful DH decided we should - they were over the moon that we had told them and then said that my Grandma would pay for our treatment - that started the flood gates on tears as you can imagine - then dad chimes up as one life ends lets hope another starts - more tears and thats even before I start the drugs - feel so much better for having told them though - and told them all about the message board and all the support

Anyway got to fly of to work now

Love to all and lots of baby dust xxx
