Like ya'll, I was very nervous during my first IVF cycle. It seems so complicated and with the amount of money we were spending, I was scared to death of making a mistake. I am sure you will have a ton of questions. This website will provide you with a tremendous amount of info and support. Hopefully that will take some of the worry off of your shoulders.

This is my first IVF cycle as well. I'm on Lupron now and will start stimming next week. It's very exciting. I'd suggest you go the thread for your cycle. Kristin & AJF - looks like you'll be having your ER in September (or close)... Sept IVF thread is a great group of girls that will offer tons of advice and support! We'd love to have you join. It's really comforting to have all these great women going thru this with you at the same time.
