Looking for January 2011 Cycle Buddies

[riogirl71]

I just want to let some girls here know that I will be stalking them relentlessly for their BFPs! I also forgot to say that there is this great article on Times about the fertility diet. So I switched completly to full fat stuff. No low fat yogurt, milk, nothing, they say it is actually detrimental to your fertility to have low fat or no fat dairy. Sprinkling you with tons of baby dust and wishing every one of you amazing ladies a healthy baby... or two!

Love always,

your friend Rio

I will be doing my 3rd and final IVF attempt in January, so I will be along for the ride

We have had no viable embryos for freezing so we will be doing a full cycle.

Hi everyone. I am totally new to this board and relatively new to my diagnosis of PCOS - found out April-May of earlier this year. Have been having a hard time to come in terms with it as everyone in my family has been super fertile - go figure! Anyway, DH and I have been TTC for nearly 18 months now, but have given up the possibility of doing it naturally. We recently saw our RE last week and told her we want our treatments to be aggressive, so we're going the IVF route, and hopefully in January 2011. Unfortunately, we are not working with the best gene pool either since DH's side of the family suffers from a rare genetic mutation. Therefore, we are in the midst of setting up genetic counseling appointments after obtaining all the medical information from DH's family who live in Europe. This will definitely take the longest, but we believe it's the responsible thing to do. I am guessing I'm due for my AF sometime within the next 2 weeks after which my RE will put me on BCP's. So anyway, looking forward to the journey (or not so much) and hoping for the best.

I thought I needed a support group as no one other than my DH understands what I'm going through. And of course, everyone and their mamas have been getting pregnant around me. Great for them, but not so great for my emotional health Good luck to you all and hoping to hear some fabulous success stories!

Hi Ladies!!

Well I am scheduled to start my shots Monday if my E2 levels work out. If not, then I will start the 1st of the year.

I hope the best to everyone !

I got BFN today and will probably be scheduled in mid January. I am glad to come here and share my feelings with you girls.

hi hope, chelle, kerri,

and SD- i'm glad you're delivered from the beta hell.. so sorry it turned out to be chemical.. but like you- i quickly refocus on the next cycle. 2 weeks later and i feel out of my post-chemical funk.. it's been hard. but i get my DHEA in 2days from my OBGYN, and then talk to my RE next monday about the next cycle.. so at least i feel like something is happening..

hi everyone..
i would like to join the group..i am doing my 2nd cycle in jan. starting BCPs this friday. i did my 1st cycle in 2009 jul and didnt have a clue about IVF and this community really helped me a lot. looking forward to another ride, and hoping to get lucky this time.
good luck to all..

Hello ladies! Sorry I have been missing in action for a bit. I went to my Dr on 11/23. He said if AF does not arrive in 4 wks to give him a call. I usually have to have a shot in the rear to get her to visit anyway. So I am hoping to start BCP before Christmas. Will catch up with more personals later!

[carrie17]

Good evening ladies,

WEll, officially my Beta was negative on Monday. I have gone through my usual emotions and I am back to go again! I started my bcp today and we are on track for a FET around Jan 10. Glad to have a group to cycle with- cause it sucks when you are alone!

Hi ladies. I posted in the December forum originally but think its more appropriate to settle in here. I'm brand new to these boards, the other one I typically frequent have few IVFers and I could really use the support. I started my BCP last Sunday. On Monday we had my protocol appointment. I will be going the Lupron --Gonal-f -- Menopur medication route. I am still completely freaked about giving myself injections, and also freaked to have DH give me the trigger and the progesterone after-wards. I've been reading through a lot of posts here and am really relieved to see so many 1st round IVF's work. I am prepared to go multiple rounds but am REALLY hoping to get a sticky BFP the first time. My RE is estimating ER around January 4th and ET January 7th. I'm only waiting now for my insurance to give the final approval and send my meds, which will (hopefully) happen within the next week. *fingers crossed*

Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to cycling with you (with hopefully a positive outcome), especially because I have no clue what is going on! This will be my first IVF cycle. I just had my blood drawn 4 days ago when my AF came. My nurse case manager has been out of the office for the past couple weeks, and the other nurse that I spoke with seems a little too snooty for my taste to speak with. I am completely lost as to when to start my BCP's if we're wanting to start our cycle next month. I'm scheduled for my saline sonogram next Tuesday with a mock embryo transfer. Then a week or so later, we're scheduled to take an IVF class in learning how to self-administer injections. When I begin what medication is beyond me.. I hope to learn more from you wonderful, supportive ladies. Good luck, everyone!
