Babycrzy, I would suggest you go to dr malpanis website and maybe mail him your DH's reports. I have seen he is a very good judge of wether you need to do a Tese or not. He had told me that there was no need for a tese for my DH as going by his b/w reports and TRUS (trans rectal ultra sound/sonograph) there would be millions of sperm. And he was right!! So on the day of ER, only needle aspiration should be enough

Just got my calendar!

We are so excited! And I was just sitting her wondering how we are so excited... we don't have a clue in reality what to expect. I've read so much until my brain is fogged...and my DH is overwhelmed with information! I don't actually start my Lupron until 3/28..bcp's until then. My DH works offshore and our timing has to coincide with his schedule since he is offshore two weeks and home two weeks. HE is a little on the "anal" side (in a good way of course) and is obsessing over being sure they are able to get him off the rig and home when he needs to be (for er)...

Me... I'm just in overload and ready to start. As i see with everyone else, the waiting is tough!

I am overwhelmed with the support that you guys offer each other... and excited to be a part. I don't have all the "lingo" down yet, but very excited to be on this journey with so many people in the same boat! Wishing everyone and in 2008!! Looks like it's April ER for us!

Not Quick Enough is Right!

I am fortunate to have a job that keeps me quite busy and passes the time to the extreme... but we have chosen not to share with anyone what we are doing at this time... we just don't want anyone's negative comments to "rain on our parade!" It's unfortunate that people would be that way... Nevertheless, it's hard to keep my mouth shut sometimes! (Not a strength of mine! ) Not to mention that my MIL works in the same building as me and everyone knows her! We just want to wait until the before we say anything.

**Question about meds... Has anyone bought meds from freegaragesale.com and what kind of experience have you had?

We've decided not to tell anyone this time around except for my best friend, mom and my co-teacher. My MIL is a %itch and is always telling me how her side of hte family has excellent sperm to get the job done I acutally caught her telling a group of people camping that is was my fault we couldn't have children.

My phone rang last night and someone I didn't tell about the IVF called and said I heard you were having your blood test on Wed what did you find out. UGHHHH.......People have big mouths.

Here is to happy thoughts and many in April

LOL -Yes, very strange. We're all excited for AF to come and I can't wait to start BCPs !! very odd indeedy when you are TTC.

I haven't told anybody either. I think it's just easier that way especially if you are used to getting BFNs all the time. I would get tired of the questions, "are you preg yet? " "why aren't you preg yet?" "why can't you get preg?" "oh, just relax and then it will happen..." UGH, I rather not deal with all that.

Is it April yet?
