Hello to All! I am hoping that it will be okay to join you here even though my ER will be on 07-07. I tried to join another thread but it seemed that everyone talked around me - - it felt kinda lonely.

This will be our first IVF, so I have been reading a lot about what should happen. I am doing 21 days of "anti-baby pills" (I am in another country and everyone in the RE's office refers to them as anti-baby pills and DH and I thought it both cute and ironic - - so we will probably call them that for the rest of our days) and will be finished with them on June 19.

Then on June 20 I will have a birthday and I have this dreaded feeling/silly notion that the passing of the day will cause a rapid drop in my fertility by the next day. Aaargh! I am so tired of hearing about age and fertility. My maternal grandmother had my mother at 44 - - in fact she had two children after 40. My paternal great-grandmother had her last at 48 and so did DH's grandma. I just have to keep reminding myself about this in the next weeks. Heck, I am not even going to be 40 yet, so there has to be a glimmer of hope. LOL

Anyhow, I look forward to getting to know all of you and sharing this journery with you. Wishing all of us tons of

ETA: I added myself to the calendar. Thanks for setting that up KMP. It sure helps visualize where everyone is.
