I am now an official August IVFer so please add me to your list. We were at the RE's office for 3 hours today and WoW what a lot of information. We have just ordered the meds... All of this is a bit overwhelming to me. Oh, and we found out that DH has a morphology issue so they have advised ICSI. Is anyone else using Center for Reproductive Medicine in Orlando?

Af??

I am still awaiting AF. I cant believe i want it to start but its late. I did take a hpt on fri but it was a BFN. which i didnt expect any other response. Has anyone ever experienced a late period after IVF? i got it after i stopped the meds but now im waiting for another cycle to start and NOTHING! we have been ttc for 3 years now.

yes after my 1st failed IVF I got AF the day I stopped taking my shots...but my next period never showed..it was over 45 days late and my RE finally gave me some provera to start it. It was the same way after my 2nd failed cycle.

should add that I've always had 28-29 day cycles so 45 days was not the norm for me at all.

If neither take in a day, we can try another egg. At any rate, because our chances will rest on these two or three little eggs, I'm going to take an extra month to get them and my uterus into the best shape possible with TCM, herbs, royal jelly, and acupuncture.

Wish me luck ladies! I'll be not too far behind you...

I'm SOOOO happy to hear this (and I sent you a PM). Hooray! Hooray! DH has come to his senses!! He just needed a little time!
Please hang around here with us and check in from time to time. We are invested in you now! We want to see that !!! So don't leave us high and dry, Angel! We'll be sending lots of your way!

who's done the trial transfer??

okay ladies...i'm starting to get nervous. my trial transfer is this friday and i'm already stressing. my biggest fear is just that i won't be able to hold my pee for as long as i need to and end up ruining it or having to reschedule. my re said to start drinking 2 hours before my appointment time but that i need to be done 45 minutes before. so i can't decide what to do. do i start drinking right at the 2 hour mark, or do i wait a little and then just chug? i don't want to get all the water down too early so that i'm totally dying. what did you all do? and how do i not pee on my re??!!

Hey girls,

I love support. Dh and I are thinking about doing IVF for the first time. AF should come in about 2 weeks so we have a little bit longer to decide.

It is a little scary. I am excited to go on this journey with all of you.

I took it for 5 days I think and then my period showed up a few days later.

My 1st IVF cycle was after a clomid cycle and for some reason it was running late too and since my AF wasnt showing up on time they just started me on BC w/out a period.
