Looking for a Friend from Canada...

Hello Ladies,

As I read through all your postings, I find it really helpful to get some fantastic support. Sometimes it's a little confusing though because it appears as though things are done very differently in the States. So I am looking for a Canadian friend who relates to what happens at the Calgary Clinic. Anyone out there want to connect? Currently I am in my 2ww for a FET - test day on Feb. 10th. Smiles to you all.

Hi Faith,

I am in Ontario, and yes they do things a little differently up here. Plus we have different laws in place. I'm not in Calgary, but hopefully I can still offer you some support.

Hugs,

Thanks Angelwithhope...

We did a Frozen Embryo Transfer on Jan. 26th and our test is this Saturday, Feb. 10th. As the date gets closer, I become more afraid! You are waiting I see...that's a hard time as well, but sometimes it can be a way to become refreshed. All the best to you as well.

It's true we are waiting to start IUI (the quickest way for me to get pregnant apparently) but we are also trying on clomid at this moment. I am currently in my 2WW I guess you could say but not expecting big things. Good luck to you on your test, here's hoping for a with great beta numbers!!

Hey there, I am in Calgary too but we are just starting our journey at the clinic. I found them very unhelpful as they are so busy there...just wrote the prescription for clomid and sent us on our way...however, if you need a friend I am happy to chat with you!! And best of luck!!!
