Hello:
This is my first reply in the forum, though I have been reading along since mid-Sept. It has been so helpful and informative to read everyone's stories. Pdeupree, I am in the midst of estrogen-priming right now. My first IVF was converted to an IUI due to an early LH surge. As the next step, my RE planned on starting the estrogen-priming, poor stimulator protocol after a full cycle, starting after the next cycle. I asked if I can start immediately and he said there would be no ill consequence in doing so. Because I have had chemo, my menopause may have an earlier onset and may be just around the corner. In fact, I was in menopause after chemo ended and it is a miracle that my little ovary even woke up. I am paranoid that my window of opportunity will close at any time so I don't want to waste any time. My next cycle will be approx 10/26 and shortly after, I will start stim meds. When will you be starting your stim meds?
