i start my suppression drugs on sept 5th.... so i think that we are looking at an EC during the last few days of september. and an ET in the start of October....It's funny cuz these are the close to the same dates that we used 5 years ago and got a son out of it.... so we are hoping for the best.

i just went through a canceled IVF cycle , my estradial dropped towards the end, so we canceled.... my last failed cycle was in May of this year....

i have a really good feeling about things this time.....

I'm sure everything will work out for you and dh :D I just started my second IVF cycle on August 11th and my retrieval and transfer will be sometime in Mid-September. I love this site, so you will be hearing from me :) It totally keeps me going and thinking positive.

I will be a Sept/October cross-over girl. If all goes to plan, start downregging 28.September with EC around 18.October. I had a failed IVF in March...6 follies, ovulated early losing 3 possible eggs, 2 eggs were already fertilized :? , so that left us with 1 little egg...made it 5 days...I don't know how cuz the quality was not very good. After the first IVF we decided to take some time off...first decided Sept. (dr around 1 September) but EC date would collide with visitors...so definitely end of September is the beginning!!

I feel really good too about this cycle and we will see lots of :D :D :D

Hi all,

Hope you dont mind me crashing in on this sept thread, i was with the August lot, but got left behind :( . I started DR 4 weeks ago and have now got to take tablets for 8 days to bring on af, as lining still too thick. So looks like i wont start stimming till the end of Aug, with et sometime in sept.

At the minute im just so pleased to be continuing with treatment, as my tube had filled up with fluid, but today on the scan it had cleared (yippee), as i really did not fancy anymore surgery.

Wishing everyone the best in their treatment and i look forward to sharing the roler coaster ride with you all.

take care

love

There's a crowd gathering now :) I love it when we all start to group, it means we're finally getting there.

Looks like we're widely dispersed, with some tmt expected in Sept, others rolling into October. As normal! I've had my timetable today and start downregging 28th Aug, stimming 14th Sept, final scan 23rd so EC/ET in the last week of Sept.

I'm feeling pretty darn confident, not sure why, but it's a lovely feeling :D

hugs

Hi Debra,
Do you remember me??? Just wanna let you know how happy I am to see that you are cycling this month. I wanted to do IUI again this month but had to cancel it for next month instead. So I might join y'all here too.

Hello everyone!
I'll be joining you here if that's ok.

Elle! this is like going into a favourite cafe and seeing friends walking through the door. People keep popping back and saying 'hi'. Of course I remember you :) great to see you here. Yep, come and join us!

Colleen, did you mean starting stims in mid Sept or Aug (you wrote Aug)? What a lovely coincidence with your son.

Sue, really glad to see your tube has cleared. That must be a huge weight off your mind.

Am not doing a complete name-check, hi to individuals just yet. We're still gathering (daft but I've got a picture of flocks of noisy birds gathering on telegraph wires in my mind now)...must be going quietly mad...

hugs
Debra.

Hello Fellow September Girls!

I'm officially joining the fun now as I have started my down regging.
What a great group to be a part of. 8)
Sept will be a big month for me as I will hit 44!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Debra, I do the same thing you do when a new number is on the horizon, I start using it about a month out to get used to the taste of it in my mouth and the sound of it in my ears. I can say it without spitting now so that's a good sign. :lol:

I start stimms on Sept 28 (well, Lupron on the 28, then stimms two days later).
Caffiene withdrawal headache coming on again today. When will they stop? This is only day 2.

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease!

This is an awesome bunch :D How exciting! Your positiveness is spreading! Thank you :D

I have been taking the Lupron for a week now...always gives me headaches and hotflashes, but other than that I feel great :wink:

How's everyone else feeling besides the caffeine withdrawal...maybe that's what causes my headaches?!

Hi everyone,

Paula, its hard knowing which group to join isnt it?, as we cross over a number of months. I have just come from aug thread as i am still down reggin(4 weeks so far) and the majority there have had et so i was feeling very lonely. :? the group here is just warming up for a bumper month of BFP's and the girls are lovely, make you feel really welcome :lol:

I had a couple of headaches around day2-4 and thought it was the injections, i now think it was the caffeine withdrawal. So far had hardly any side effects, so considering dh very lucky. as im a right :twisted: the week before af ( and even maybe for the 3 weeks after!!!!!)

Debra P - I was so expecting to stop treatment, so couldnt believe it. I liked the idea of noisy birds gathering on the telegraph wire (i just hope we dont snap the wire, cos there is so many of us!!)

Hi everyone else, cant wait to see everyones progress, its so exciting and im sure those :D :D :D will keep popping up

Love

sue e xx

Hi Sue,

Yes, it is hard knowing where to fit in here but i'm sure i'll find somewhere. What treatment are you doing? I'm on a short cycle and I don't see anyone in the same position as i'm in yet. It seems like everyone here is doing treatment for weeks before they're ec day. I'm now wondering why my dr put me on a short cycle and what is the difference between mine and what everyone else is doing? Do you know? How long have you been on injections? I start mine tomorrow and it's the 19th, then egg collection is on the 31st so it's a very short time compared to what I think your doing.
