Anyone starting their injections today or this week????

My second go round and I am looking for some good support buddies. Last time around, one of the ladies I met and became good friends with got her BFP. Another decided to stop trying...I am looking for some friends to chat with from time to time during this IVF cycle. Anyone starting like me?

Hi Rachel,

This is my first IVF cycle and I start my stims tomorrow also. I have been on Lupron already. I am very excited to start this and I am ready to get my the first time around. Hopefully you will too.... I will be taking gonal F, luveris (cd9), and lupron (lower dose), and heparin (twice a day), plus medrol and baby aspirin along with my prenatal and metformin. Wow that's a lot of meds....

Gloria

I started stimming on 11/20. This is my first IVF cycle and I've been going back and forth between excitement and being freaked. I'm only on Gonal-F so far. Good luck to everyone this cycle!

I started stimming last night and this is my 3rd IVF, and hopefully the winner. I have a different protocol called the Estrogen Priming Protocol. No Lupron this time, just Gonal-F, Menopur and Ganilerex at the end. It started w/estrogen patches and Ganilerex before AF. I am looking at around 12/2 for ER.
Good luck all and

Thanks for responding!!

Some have asked, this is our 2nd try...see mini bio. First time IVF got BFP but it stopped progressing after a few weeks. We were very, very sad. I was under a lot of stress then. May be loosing my high pressure job now due to the economy and I am actually very happy. Thankfully we can scrape on by with hubbies income or the stress of needing money would kill me. Either way I took time off during this IVF cycle. I am on Lupron and had some tiny amount of old for a day. I was worried but doctor said a tiny amount is fine and normal. I was worried as a friend on here got the real thing and they made her stop and start next month. I had low response due to age last time so please keep fingers crossed and prayers coming for me. Love to you all and prayers! Rachel
