Question TTC, new member to this site

Really could use some support. TTC for 3 years, found out I has endomet. had 2 surgeries. Then tried IUI, developed cysts from the HCG so we said to hell with it lets do IVF. So now I am starting the drugs and we will do the implantation by the end of june. Anyone can tell me about their experience going through the process and what to expect. I will be on menopur, follistim and HCG. ALso been getting Accupuncture which is treating my emotional issues and my infertility issues. Helping lots. I am optomistic. My husband side checks out ok.

just wanted to say . I never made it to retrieval, so can't help you there. I did take menopur and it stung a little, but icing before helps. And I love acupuncture. I have been doing it since December. I was gearing up to do IVF next month, but I got pg on a natural cycle and I really think acupuncture helped.

I wish you the best in your TTC journey!

Hi Jenn,

It appears that you and I are right about at the same point. I took Foll. Menopur, Lupron and now I have lovely IM injectible of Progesterone in oil. I have to be honest, the injections were easier than I initially thought. I would imagine you are somewhere around retrieval...Best Wishes with everything. I go for my Beta on Thursday!
