Lynzee, u r amazing thank you sooo much

Sad news is that we decided to postpone our cycle till June. I feel not comfortable with my doctor and his staff in there but my hubby says it is ok for him. I just expect more close interaction, timlely reminders, good communications etc. I can barely see my doctor and when I email him I just got yes/no answer. So I make appointment every time i need to talk to him and take advice. And I should pay for it, we are international students and, paying everything out of our pocket. I am wondering if it was always just this way? I am concerning of changing my clinic or I don't no

Anyway, ladies wish u all the best

Wow!! Thanks Lynzee, I am totally going to print that out

Texasgal - looks like you are already in the midst of all this. Hope all is going well and you get your BFP!!

Bizzy - My husband and I had a teaching session that lasted about an hour at my IVF orientation. It was about where and how to use the injectables. However, we are still a little nervous about the whole thing. But we will be receiving our box of meds a couple of day prior to starting so I am planning on making sure I know exactly what to do once I go through all of it.

Lily - That stinks that your RE is making you feel that way/ treating you like that. My RE has a "go to" person. I'm guessing she is a RN or a PA, but anyway she and my RE always tell me to call with any questions and she can't get back to me the RE does. Plus, I was told that once I am further into treatment I will have me RE's cell number to call at any time and that she always gets/takes calls. Hopefully I won't need to call, but it is reassuring! Are there any other clinics in you area? Can you get a different reccomendation/referal?

Jasmine - May 9th is almost here!!!

I will be starting my Lupron on May 17th. Then I have a baseline app on the 27th. They will be doing some blood work and an ultrasound. Does anyone know why they do an ultrasound before you start the stims?

Lili and Madame X- your welcome!!

Lili- take your time and definitely find someone you feel comfortable with. This process is hard enough, we definitely dont need an RE who makes us feel uncomfortable.

AFM (as for me) - I have NEVER wanted my period to come this bad. I just want to get started already!

hI EVERYONE, SO HAPPY TO SEE SOME NEW PEOPLE!!
SO im taking my last BC pill tomorrow and will be reporting to the clinic on the 8th or 9th, not really sure as to when they want to see me.

so excited about this

The nurse just called me and my protocol calendar is in the mail! I will be on birth control for 4 weeks (when AF finally decides to show up) and then I will start injections. I am so nervous/scared/anxious/happy and so many other emotions right now!!
