May I please join?

Hi Ladies,

I'm new to message boards and IVF... so I hope I'm not too late to join! I just read through the posts and I think this is the right group for me- if not, just let me know! I go tomorrow for my first sono/bloodwork and start BCP tomorrow. So, if I'm doing the math correctly (I was an English major, so my math is up for review...), I believe we'll retrieve/transfer in early/mid June.

Here's my past (I don't know how to do this or use the abbreviations... forgive me!):

Me- 27, endometriosis, missing left tube
DH- 26, high level of mutated swimmers
Married- 3 1/2 years
TTC- 1 yr
Ectopic- Sept 2008 (left tube rupture)
Met with several specialiast and have "unexplained infertility".

Starting BCP for 1st IVF cycle- May 5, 2009

Welcome!

theBunn and WanaBeeMom!!! You will love this forum. Some quick advice: Check out the Acronyms link at the top of the page to learn about some of the abreviations that are used. Once you see them, it'll all make sense. (I've learned tons of new terms since joining...It really helps when you are talking to your Doc or RE) Also you can set up a profile through the UserCP link and get your personal history built into a signature. It sounds like you both are in the right place! Best of luck on your cycles!
Wishing all the couples out there in the very near future!

Carla- I am happy to see you here! It will be fun to share our IVF cycle too!

However.... It looks like I may have to wait a few months now. Because of all the cysts, my RE wants me to do lupron for 2 or 3 months. However, he is trying to get my insurance to pay for it. If they won't he is going to skip it. So I should hopefull know more this week. I will be starting lupron regardless and then of course BCP, so now I am using an OPK for my surge. I thought I was done with those silly things! Anyway, I am also updating the list... I was in 2 places!

Hi Ladies!

I was in the May group but think I joined the wrong group *doh*. I started my BCP on May 3rd and believe my egg retrieval is in early June. I go in for injection training on the 11th and will get a better schedule then.

Let's get some POSITIVE BFP's this month ladies...

Baby dust and hugs to all!

TabbyM - I'm not sure that I can answer you question and hopefully the other ladies are more knowledgable but I thought I'd share my experience. During my last IVF cycle, I was on BCP until 3 weeks prior to ER. Of course this will vary based on your specific protocol. But assuming this is the same for you, then if you have an early June retreival, you'll probably remain on BCP until mid-May or so. Hopefully you don't have too much longer.

Something else to consider is that your RE is also managing a schedule with other couples and needs to ensure that they can support your ER/ET based on thier calendar. I doubt this would change things too much for you but it is something that you should keep in mind.

I know it seems like years from now but the time really does start to fly...and once you are off the BCP you will feel like you on your way to getting your dream.

Baby dust for everyone!

Hi Ladies,

for including me in your forum!! I look forward to following everyone

I wish I could offer some advice to those with questions, but I'm super new to all of this. I know what it's like to be occupied with medical questions and feeling like you can't quite find the answer , so I that you find what you need!

I started BCP today and Lupron starts a week from today. The sono and BW looked great (whatever that means). Can you please add me to the BCP list?

And, I have a question for those with more experience in this... when will the drugs start affecting me? Is it with the Lupron? I'm just trying to plan my life accordingly

Praying for for all of us!!

Got questions?

Hi ladies,

I was cruising around the web doing some research and I stumbled across The SHER Institutes for Reproductive Medicine - Network of infertility practices. They are a national fertility practice that has forums for different regions of the U.S. Post a question and an RE gets back to you with a response. I tried it today and got a response in an hour with an offer to call with any questions. AFter my first failed cycle, I had some questions about my situation and I found his response really helpful.

Good luck!
