Hi Nicola,

Welcome to the board. I've found so much help and support on here. And yes, it is insanely addictive. Much better than television! :lol:

I'm doing a FET. My first IVF was in June. For me the medication was fine - no side effects - I actually felt very good during the cycle. I didn't have any pain at egg collection and embryo transfer went smoothly. I would definately do it again, even though I was only pregnant for a couple of weeks.

Everyone's experience is different, and judging from others' posts, mine was exceptionally smooth. I only wish it had worked out :( . Maybe this time...

Anyway, glad you're here. If you are interested in following along, August Cycle Buddies thread has up to the minute reports on what is happening with those who are in the thick of it now. Most are doing IVF, but some are ICSI, FET and maybe one IUI.
