I teach a multi-age classroom for students with emotional disabilities. I have 4/5 graders. I need my summers, or I would go completely crazy (I'm already mostly crazy as it is!).

Hi girls! Can I join you? I am doing all of my testing on Friday. Hoping to get in on the scheduling for July.
I have Asherman's Syndrome (scarring in the uterus) after a D&C to "restart" my period. I guess it worked a little too well. We have tried for some time and am ready to move on to IVF. We are super excited and I am glad to see there are others that are in the same time frame.

Talking Just joining

Hi Ladies- I would love to join in for July cycle discussions. I am starting my 2nd IVF, first one was trasferred to IUI bcs of poor response to stimms.

I am not talking to my girlfriends about this process and husband is deployed right now so I think this forum will hep my sanity.

Thanks to all for sharing and look forward to July!

to the new July gals!!!!

Foxracer: I hope all goes well with your testing on Friday and that you are good to go for July! What tests are you having?

Asher: Aren't these boards great. Even if I am not posting I don't feel so alone. So your DH is deployed? He must be coming back soon if you are looking at July.

Lilcbru: Sounds like you have a pretty cool job. I am sure it has its ups and downs but how wonderful to know you have the talent to help these kids.

How is everyone else? Things are kind of quiet the last couple of days!

AFM: I am kinda bummed because the clock struck midnight and I am officially a year older Life goes by too fast!!

Karen and Asher-- and !

Angie--Happy Birthday!

Claudia--Hope you feel better soon.

AFM--Not much going on. Just trying to keep myself from being anxious about this IVF cycle. My DD is going to be 4 this weekend, so we have been getting everything ready for the big princess party. I always try to do too much.

Angie- happy birthday!

I had a hard birthday turning 40 the week after I lost my baby- I felt pretty hopeless- but you are still really young! You have lots of baby-making time left.

Saw my RE today- and got my 3d ultrasound- no problem. Everything looks good. He is putting together a protocol for me- I should be on BCP through 7/4 and then start the meds, but depends on the protocol as I will be traveling until the 11th. I am pretty excited to start again.

Thanks for the welcomes! DH is back in September- I am using frozen in the meantime.

Nice Dr called today to say that my Antra Follicle Count is so low (was 3) and FSH so high (10) at my age (35) was in their opinion highly unlikley that this would ever work for me.

Curious to know if anyone has hope for these numbers- seems like DHEA is where most women turn at this point but I don't want to grow a beard.

Think I need to go outside the military system for another opinion.

Yes, welcome to the new July-ers!!!
Not much going on here. Just waiting to start the Lupron on Sunday. I'm a little freaked out right now. I just talked to my neighbor. Her friend had her ER today and she said it was the most painful thing she has ever experienced. Another friend of mine said the same thing....both go to my RE. Now, I'm very confident in my RE (he has a great reputation) but this freaks me out just a little. I don't think you're supposed to be aware of what's going on so I'm trying to figure out if these 2 people just didn't repond well to the meds that put ya under. I'm going to have to ask my RE about this the next time I go in. For those of you have gone through this before, does the ER generally hurt? I'll suck it up if it does but I'll admit it makes me a little nervous.

Mabelina: Now you are freaking me out about ER since I go there too!! I have never heard anyone say it is very painful yikes. Well the good news for me is that you will be first so you can let me know!! That is strange that two people said that though.......

Enci: That is one tough birthday right after a loss It is great that you are ready to try again though!!

Asher: That stinks that you have to go through this while DH is gone but great that you can use frozen, good thinking! It seems to me that I have seen plenty of success stories with high FSH and low Antral folicle count. You might check with the ladies on the CCRM thread as I bet they would be a great help.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, I had a great day!!

Sorry Angie. Didn't mean to freak you out. I think it's probably more coincidence than anything...but you better believe I"m going to ask him about it. Lucky for you I will be first so I can let you know
