A toast to the beginning of a happy journey (or should I call it an emotional roller coaster!) for all of us incredibly strong and 'special' people.. Not everyone is 'lucky' enough to test science and its limits like we get to do!

First IVF in April

This is my very first post! My DH and I have just begun our IVF journey. I just started my BCP this past weekend. We are nervous, excited, frantic, and everything else that goes along with the anticipation. Anyway, I am so glad to find this forum and people that understand!
I won't start Lupron until March 28th, and like I said, we are "newbys" to all of this. It's really neat to be here! Any advice is much appreciated!

Joining in

Hi all,

I'm Irena and, while we haven't laid out the exact dates yet, it looks like we'll be trying our first IVF in April. While I should lurk some before posting for the first time, I've never been very good at lurking, so here I am. Should I introduce myself here or is there some sort of intro thread? (Didn't see one.) Looking forward to having some folks to talk with, ask questions of, count down with, and hopefully share good news with!

IVF: Take 3

Can I join you in the April thread? I have my right now and it is giving me some cramps today. Ouch!
I have my ER scheduled for 3/28 and my ET is scheduled for 4/1, so I decided to be with the April buddies if that's okay. This is my 3rd time and I will be doing AH with it. Has anyone done AH before? I just really, really, really want it to work this time.

I really need your support.

Sending all of us thoughts for and cute babies coming home in Santa hats in December.

Hello everyone,
I am a total newbie at this....I have been lurking all over the computer since the day of our consult in Jan. I am schedule to start IVF in March with a ER on April 7th-8th. I am nervous. I have a FSH of 11.8 which the RE lowered my chances So, I am taking DHEA 3 times a day per the RE and will start accupuncture next week to see if it helps. I am excited to have a place to talk with others who are going thru the same things.
