Hi Ladies

LeeS WOW!!!! Thank you for those graphics, really nice ((((HUGS)))). And the one of Cape Town?.... thanx :D.

Faithful2011 Dont worry sweetie, am sure AF will show in time and you will be doing your FET in April.

Michele You are on your way girl. Once you've started the injections you are one step closer to that BFP :D .
Oh, the injections :? . Good luck with those. I am not looking forward to that part either.

Dallas ~ So sorry for you loss. Sending you lots of Baby dust for your upcoming cycle.

Mom4sure ~ Cape Town looks like a beautiful place for your BFP.

Faithful 2011 ~ I am doing the AF dance for you!!!

LeeS ~ amazing graphics; what an inspiration.

Michele ~ Hope the lupron is not making you crazy! How are the injections going, I am a little worried about the injections too. But I became a pro quickly last time.

AFM ~ I had my consult on March 1st. My RE is just all business and has no bed side manors; however she got us our little boy, so I will be sticking with her.
I need to get tons of b/w, 2hr glucose test and DH needs s/a. Just waiting for AF so I can start BCP.

Hi everyone, DW and I just went through our first ivf cycled and it resulted in a chemical :(
Our dr is really thorough and has ordered a whole slew of tests before our next cycle so we know exactly what we are dealing with. We are dealing with male factor, both 33 right now. We still have 4 5 day embryos on ice but I think we are going to try one more fresh cycle before we go to the ice box. Hoping all test come out ok and we should be beginning our next cycle in late march/early April...

Hoping to be cycle with you ladies in April. After much thought and alot of prayers we have decided to go the donor egg route. We have it narrowed down between 2 donors. If I choose one I will start in April(will be her first donation), if I choose the other one she is not available again until July(has a very high success rate). Decisions, Decisions!

Thank you ladies for all your "welcomes" I am exciting and SCARED TO DEATH @ the same time. I've never been so poked & prodded so much in my life...I now know what a voo-doo doll/ pin cushion must feel like :lol:

I will keep you updated on my progress!
Hey Ladies...I received my phone call today...My Pre-Baby cocktails package gets home delivered on Weds the 9th, the same day my doc wants to run a mock IVF transfer to make for a smoother xfer in April! :)

Another Forum Noob questions:
What does "chemical" mean?
What is Lupron? when is it suggested?

Hi Ladies

Hopethisworksm I am really sorry about your chemical pg, i know how hard that must be for the both of you to be so close. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that all your tests come out alright so you can start your fresh cycle as planned.

Dallas You are faced with a very tough choice. I am sure part of you wants to do your cycle in April, and do this as soon as possible coz its soooooo hard to wait... But your April donor has no history for you to make an informed decision. And on the other hand you have a donor with a high success rate who's only available in June :( . Its a tough call sweetie. But i am sure you will make the right decision. Good luck.

Blaqdymun Wow, exciting times ahead. You are on your way.. All the best with the mock ivf transfer. I hope my new re does one for me as well. My first re told me i had a tilted uterus so i think a mock transfer is a great plan. Baby dust to you. :D

I've been on the pill for 17days now, and i am having slight spotting. My re told me to expect spotting, but i thought it would only start when my AF is due. And AF is only due on the 18th... Is it normal to start spotting only 17 days after my last AF while on BCP :?

:oops: Thanks for the info...SORRY...all this is so new to me. Although, I am going thru this procedure it still doesn't feel real. It almost feels like a bad dream. I had a child 18yrs ago naturally, with no complications, and then I meet & marry a wonderful man and can't just "naturally" conceive is just so shocking to me! I never thought I would be in this position but here am; I am trying to digest all this info &its so much to consume!!!

Please, bare with me :oops:

Blaqdymun ~ No need for apologies, this is my second cycle and I am just as confused as with the first cycle. I still use the Abbreviations Definitions list, someone else pointed it out to me, and it was a big help.

I am so frustrated. AF is such a B%TCH (pardon me). 2 months after I had my son, while breastfeeding, she came like clock work, not giving me a break. Now that I need her to come where is she?

Lee ~ thanks for the AF dance. I use ticker factory. Under signature you have to 1. uncheck disable bbcode 2. when you paste the link from ticker factory you need to delete everything before the first [img].
