I will be on the lupron/GonalF, Repronex meds.
Oh, im really new with all the abbreviations. What does "af" stand for?
Yeah, we will definitely be close in our cycle.
Thank you, Its ok about the abbreviations, you'll get used. You can also go to the "General" Forum, they have most of the meaning there. "af" stands for "aunt flow" or period
I already started the injections yes, but only Lupron for now. It's been not that bad, but of course I can't do them myself. DH do them and I turn my face around when he's ready

yeah, DH is so excited about the injections... he has been practicing on orange peels.
I was wondering if i could join you ladie? i'm new to the IVF world but am currently undergoing treatment. a little background, DH and i have a 14 month old son. DH underwent fertiltiy meds due to kaulmann's syndrome. basically he is sterile without these meds. Dh banked his sperm when i was 5 months preggo to get off the expensive meds. when LO was 10 months old we tried a natural cycle which was stopped, we tried an IUI which failed and RE said we should do IVF considering our limited supply of sperm. so....we are currenlty in the process. if all goes well expected egg retrieval will be april 28th. we are excited but extremely nervous. i would like to join this group if you all wouldn't mind. we are new to this and i would love to learn from everyone's experiences.
I would like to join you. I'm 35 ( so is my husb.) TTC for almost 3 years and we will start our first IVF cycle within couple of days ( waiting for AF to show to start birth control pills)
Can someone tell me have you done microbiological smears, Chlamydia Trachomatis smear, cervical smear, vaginal smear, mycoplasma and ureaplasma in the preparation phase . I have done all these and waiting for results , what if I show positive in any of these ...will this delay all procedure. Im very interested to start this procedure this month....
Good luck to all of you in your journay and praying for positive results.
GREAT !!!!! My ER and ET will be around the end of april or early may .. I am really scared about the progesterone shots ...don't know how will we do it .. was thinking of finding a nurse in the neighbourhood who could do it for me .. as I don't think my DH will do a good job:)You are lucky they offer you an orientation class .. our practise didn't offer that to us ...

LOl. yeah I don't know why I am soo scared of the prog shots ...I guess everyone talks about them so much .. for now lupron is fine ..I alternate the site every day though ... good luck and keep in touch ..
its great to have so many people going through this at the same time. i am 27 and DH 28, this is our first IVF cycle. i am currently on birth control and start my lupron next monday. We have done one cycle of medications/timed intercourse and one cycle of IUI with no luck. For those that are worried about the shots, they are not bad at all. I actually perfer doing them myself. You will be used to them in no time. If you guys what to read up on my story, i have a blog, check it out. and please leave comments!!!

Hey guys,
silly question, but progesterone comes as a shot? They told me that they were suppositories? Didnt think I would need to inject them. For how long?
when i did my IUI they had me on progesterone supp. i believe 2 a day. vaginal supp. the NP said you can take them orally but they are not as effective.
