Hi to all!! I should be starting either in May or in June! I just had laprascopic surgery in March to remove both tubes (they were hydrosalpinges) They called yesterday and told me to call on day one of AF and they will get all my meds started. This is my first cycle and I hope it works! My insurance approved two cycles before October 2011 so the doctors are ready to get started. I have had blood work, semen analysis (for DH) and hysteroscopy, and mock transfer in the past month so all that's left is medication and ER and ET. :D

Jen/Sunshine/Fruit- this is your cycle!! Baby dust to you all! Your PMA inspires me!!!
Me: Bilateral Hydrosalpinges (removed 3/24/11)
DH: Nothing wrong
TTC: 5+ years
1st IVF- 5/4/11- start BCP for 4 weeks then injections!

Hey

Count me in :D :D :D

Sunshine, Jen, Fruit and Akdelp Here we go again ladies. I pray this is our time :)

Sunshine All the best with your interview. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for starting this board. I am also looking for some good home business opportunities. The Avon idea is worth looking into, it keeps coming up when i look into business opportunities. If you are good at selling maybe it could be worthwhile. My problem is i am not good at marketing, i am an accountant and i am useless at selling :lol: :lol: .

AFM Ivf #2 just got cancelled this month due to poor egg quality. Also got the news that i have poor ovarian reserve, and told my only hope is using an egg donor. But before i do that, i want a second opinion and i have an appointment end of May with a new RE. I've started taking supplements to improve my egg quality and my stats for the May consult. If all goes well, my new RE will give me the green light to use my eggs, and i cycle in July. Taking the supplements is easy for me.... ITS THE DIET thats killing me. I spent 3 months preparing for the cycle that just got cancelled, and cut out a lot of my usual treats. Now I am diving straight ahead into getting ready for the May appointment, without a break. I am trying the full fat diet, with no meat just fish, and lots of fruit, veges and healthy fat. I REALLY MISS MY STEAK!!! I hope it gets easier. I've been on this diet for a week now and havent caved on the meat. But i caved on chocolate and fries :oops: .... just twice :lol: .

Looking forward to getting to know everybody here.

HI Ladies...

My name is Lauren. Some of you may have cycled with me in the past. Ive done IVF twice now. Natural cycles. The last one took alot out of me and I kinda disappeared for awhile. We had worked really hard for our 7 EGGS (first cycle was only 2) and when 1 fertilized I was devastated and it ended in a BFN...So here I am again. I want to say THANK YOU to all you wonderful women out there and the support from all of you over my last year! Ive been reading just not posting!

So I am 29 years old. I am a Labor & Delivery Nurse. My DH and I are going for our 3rd cycle sometime soon. Depends when our calendar falls out as my DH will be out of town. I am doing the Estrogen priming followed by the antagonist protocol again. We hope for a better cycle this go around. my AMH was normal and I hope for a better AFC and stimulation response!

Look forward to getting to know you all and summer filled with lots of BFP'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hey girls...I did two IVF cycles.....I meant natural by the fact that it was a FET or donor in anyway. I know there is another "natural cycle" out there that refers to no ER and all. Just wanted to clarify :D

RIO!!!!!! Thanks girl :mrgreen: I am so happy for you and your family! Hope all is going well. I am nervous to go on this adventure again...my DH has been thru every test under the son and they are saying theres nothing they can do for him. Its a testicular dysfunction....no drugs will help and his count is not getting better almost worst... :( he has been taking the Conception XR and lcaritine to help but nothing so far...I am taking my prenatal and also some low dose dhea...my RE doesnt recommend anything for me but my thought process is...what can it hurt? im desperate at this point.

so good to hear from you!!! thanks again
