You are in for an exciting ride and we will be here to support you thru all of this. I am sorry about your divorce but glad that you have found Mr. Right and that you already have 2 blessings from your first and are ready to have another with your new DH. You are currently in the first stage of IVF... labwork, SA, US... soon you will get "The Box" lol, but dont be scared when u get "The Box" full of meds and needles. We were all scared but once u get to know your new friends, u will need to depend on them so eventually u will get use to them. Good Luck with your cycle. Keep us posted so I can keep your progress updated. Mock Transfer is basically a rehearsal for the real thing.

TKAT and espinozal23 - Congrats on getting to start your stims. You will be having ER and in the 2ww in no time. Now the board will start getting very interesting.
Lady_J - We should be around the same schedule. I should also have AF around the 6th and then be on BCP's for 21 more days. Then on day 3 of AF I should start stims. That is if my body decides to down reg enough.
Sis1 - As it was said in pp, it should be OK to start your lupron. I would think if it was mandatory that we O before starting then the RE's would have everyone do the ovulation kits. I have never heard of this so I think you should be OK. Good luck and welcome to the IVF roller coaster.
BarbD- Hope you are feeling better. When will you find out if you can do your FET? It sucks to be postponed but even sucks worse is when they don't tell you why they are putting it off.
Molly23- Welcome to the board. That is exciting that you were a donor before. Sorry you now have to be on this site but at least you know what you are in for. You have been through the hardest physical part, stimming and ER. I would think the hardest mental part is the 2ww. You should do just fine.
waiting for 4 - I am kind of hesitant in telling people when I will cycle again. I have told several people that I will be doing it in Feb but haven't given anyone any dates. My last cycle all my family knew and it sucked having to tell everyone the bad news. Though this time it will be easier to keep things quiet seeing that we probably won't have another family gathering till after I cycle.
Uno MAS - Yes the mock transfer is when they measure your uterus and make sure that there is nothing that will prevent them from transferring your embryo's. It is a pretty easy procedure. Feel free to post anytime with any questions, concerns or just when you feel the need. We are here for you.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I lurk the boards all the time but I am just not in the mood to post. I have to get my PMA back. This always happens to me while I am waiting to start a cycle.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Happy Monday to all.

Thanks Lady J for the support I will try to remember to drink lots of water I have also been taking prenatal for about two months now I seen online that its suppose to help with the process so I guess we shall see i am getting kindna nervous about the process trying to keep it down though been trying to keep busy with other things trying to drag my work out so that it keeps me busy. looking forward to the new year and the surprises that it may bring
I'm starting to get my period today yey!! I'm going in for u/s on wednesday and start stims same day follistim 50ui for 8-9 days. This totally feels like ivf. Hopefully it will work wish me luck :P !!!
Is everyone ready for a New Year? I know I'm Happy new years to everyone hopefully it will bring us all BFP's !!!!!
Good Luck bys24 I get to start my stims tonight bravelle 3 vials a night until I go back on Friday to see how things are going and decrease the lupron to 5ml
BarbD.... How was your RE appt? They they say you can start Meds? Let us know.
Espinozal23... YW, that is what we are here for. That is good u r doing prenatals. It is supposed to help with all the vitamins. I have also been taking them for awhile now. My RE also told me to put my DH on Antioxidents. It should also help mith his little ones. This is very exciting... the next few weeks are also going to be stressful, just relax and try to keep your mind on other things as well.
to_have_fun... It sounds like we r going to be on the same schedule. I can't beleive the time is getting closer. Please don't get discouraged or sad or upset. I know it's hard and honestly I was feeling like you this weekend. I felt sad, I was thinking, what if it doesnt work... maybe I am not meant to have no more kids. But then it finally happened. My daughter told me this weekend.... I want a little brother or sister. She has said it before but this time I saw the sadness in her eyes, it made me sad and that was part of the reason I felt like that. Now all I can do is wait and hope for the best for all of us. I hope u feel better soon, tell me what can I do to help raise your PMA...

Lady J - my username started as my initals but as I kept reading over it I thought about adding something to it, then it hit me Uno. Took me back to my spanish classes.
I am blessed to have 2 children but I would love to share that with DH. I have told few family members about our decision to try to have a baby and they all tell me, "at least you have 2 already." I am grateful but I know DH will be a great dad, a postive role model, and this would make our family complete. Am I selfish since I do have 2?
As I read over all of the messages and I can feel the pain everyone has with their BFNs, cancelled IVF, etc. This board truly feels like family, we can all share our ups and downs. I look forward to start this journey with all of you.
Well when I went into the dr this morning to get my blood work done it was the same lady that took care of my embys in the lab and she was saying that they were so suprised that my IVF didnt work last time she said that she couldnt figure it out because my eggs were so good and my DH sperm count was so high and I simply told her that it just must not have been my time but I feel good about it this time and I hope and pray that its my time.
I missed having my Ticker so I got a new one! I have gained almost 15 lbs since I started IVF in Oct and I would like to get back into shape before I get too far into this next one. Last time I had to quit working out bc I was so sore from my huge ovaries!
Oh well, I am bored at work (avoiding doing any work actually) and trying to kill the next 2.5 hours until I get to go home. Have a good day ladies, I'll check in again soon I am sure.
Me 25, DH 27
10X clomid, 3 w/IUI
IVF 1- BFP, MC@9 wks
IVF 2- BFN
husband laid off- no infertility coverage
3X with femara, all BFN's but has regulated my cycle and FINALLY got positives on ovulation test
Currently on my 4th cycle with femara
I am also bored (avoiding) work , it is seriously slow these days...
and now I have BMI envy as well, LOL
I think you are awesome to aim for BMI of 20, good for you, you are my new hero
I also gained 14lb going fertility drugs in the summer for IUIs, I think its pretty common. 10lb are gone so far but the last few are stubborn. I got to say though that "green and beans" diet my AP has got me on is helping....
Hope you get through the next few hours, I am skipping out early....
41, unexplained (plain old) fsh 4.7
DH 55 lots of good swimmers

My RE just called and said everything looks great. I start Follistom tonight. My DH is sooo excited!!
espinozal23 – Congrats on starting your stims today too! Lets keep each other posted on our progress.
dys24 – Looks like you’ll be starting in a couple days. How exciting!
Sisi1 – Your acupuncturist has you on a new diet…what does it consist of? My DH has been threatening to put me on a new diet but I have been resisting. He read it in some book at my AP’s office. It’s probably not a bad idea. I think it’s great that you’re doing it! I give you a lot of credit. How often do you go to your AP? I have been going once a week but now that I’m starting stims I’ll be going twice a week. I’m also having it done before and after my ET. I’ve been doing yoga everyday too to try to reduce my stress level which is off the charts!
Congratulations Ktat on starting your stims I also start mine tonight except that I start Bravelle the first IVF cycle I used Follistim so we did a change up this time do you know when your ER and ET will be? I will keep everybody posted.
Oh sooo fab, this thread is getting sooooo active I can hardly wait until I start stimmng!
Tkat, congrats on the stims, you pioneers must report all!!!
Like you I go once a weekfor AP until stimms, then twice and before and after is transfer.
The diet (I admit I cheated a bit today) is basically all food made from scratch, nothing processed, avoid all sweets, bread and white starches. Avoid all cold foods. I start the day with whole grains, drink lots of green tea, bit of fruits and nuts for snacks. A natural multivitamin and fish oil as supplements.
Regular basic healthy food like chicken, salmon, shrimp, beans and such.
I think a lot can be accomplished by staying with the basic principles, ask your AP.
