Hey ladies! I didn't see this thread the other day. Can I join? I was in the July group, but my cycle got canceled. Not sure what number to call this...IVF #3? I had empty follicles at ER on the first in March and July got canceled. September will be the month though!

No real update on me right now. Still on BCP and Letrozole and have an appt on July 2 with the doc. I pretty know they are going to tell me (from the last tests) that I have a much lower chance of sucess now due to my very high FSH. I am trying to research my options, but I am not very hopeful. Also, DH and I are not sure we can afford another round. We are doing things now that are covered by insurance - so we are still moving ahead until we figure out we have to stop.

My mom has offered a bit of money - but I do not want to waste it if the chances are not good. We all live in MI now - and things are very tight all over here. Its like the world around us is turning into a ghost town before out eyes. Lots of houses are up for sale, in foreclosure or just abadoned in our neighborhood. In neighborhoods all over. Everyday someone else we know loses a job. Its hard not to be depressed her.

I still have a job (thank god!) and my husbands business is still alive, although he has not been able to take a paycheck in over a year - he is still making all his bill and paying his employee. He had to lay the other one off a few months ago.

I have to apologize to you guys. I started this thread and was looking forward to a wonderful summer and some much activity near the fall and all kinds of BFPs for all of us. Now, I am finding it harder and harder just to look at this every couple of days. I just wish none of us had to go through this.

Here is the latest calendar I have. Please send me your updates and I will do my best to get them out there as fast as possible. I am this works out for all of us! We all deserve it! to everyone! Hope you all are having a great summer so far!!!! Its finally warm in MI.

They prescribed oral progesterone that I take 3x daily from 7/24-8/3. If BFP, it will help my lining, if BFN, it will induce AF. Can't hurt, right?

Hello again. I am in upstate NY. Another day of rain. Got a quick walk in with the dogs this morning before it started. My hubby and I have to retake our HIV and Hep tests again because it has been a year since our last ones. Siking myself up for NEXT MONTH, and trying to lose some last minute pounds before my next cycle starts. Soon enough ladies, soon enough!!!!!!!!

we I got an appt with re on the 20th for an other consult u/s and pelvic u/s I don't know if he is going to do b/w or what eals and we will see were to go from here hubby wants to go through the ivf and after we have a baby we will try to fix my tubes agine he dose not want to wast vaulble time on a maybe ! So we just need to see about the fibriods my reg obgyn said I should be okay just have pain when uterus streches and bed rest at 20 to 25 weeks sooner if twins ! so I guess RE has the last say ! I would realy like to go strait to IVF than to have surgery!

Never hurts to ask questions. From what I understood, the progesterone has no negative effect, so why not try.

Cathie- you need to do whatever you are must comfortable with. As long as both docs say that you're safe to proceede.. I'd say the decision is yours girl! It's a tough decision to make.

Chabby - it's nice just to have a plan again, isn't it? I'm so ready!

The calendar link (if it's working properly - or should I say, set up properly ) should appear when you hit the link. Click on the date that you want to add something, and a space should appear to write what your plan/meds/schedule is. You can pick a colored background to make it easier for your info to stand out. Let me know what you ladies think.
