"IVF ISLAND" here I come....I think it is an AWESOME idea.
Thanks ladies - you guys are wonderful. I think it is nothing, I am just so anxious about this process already and I am so afraid that I am not going to make it to the ER/ET. Cheryl - you are more than welcome here. The more the merrier. Sorry to hear that you are not responding but I was going to ask the same thing - do they have you on Lupron?

 Cheryl! I'm sorry that you're not responding. Maybe they can take you off the Lupron if you are on it. That could help. That is so exciting that you have a little one with IVF. You are our inspiration!IVF Island here we come!

Cheryl!! Of course you can join! Yeah, Lupron is what they give women BEFORE the stimulating meds like follistim. Not ALL RE's use it though, so maybe you just don't need it Welcome aboard!

Cathy don't make me cry! I hate when DH's cry. When I lost my 1st puppy - DH cried more than I did. We are here for you. I suck at jokes but you let us know when you need one and I will do my best!
Maybe we can start on "What not to say to a hormonal/someone struggling with infertility"? 1) Are you guys planning to have kids soon - you are not getting any younger.

Hello April Bunnies!! Although I don't post much I am greatly enjoying the wonderful support and advice from you lovely ladies.
IVF Island sounds wonderful!!! Much better than all the cold weather around here! ------------------------------------------------ Maybe we can start on "What not to say to a hormonal/someone struggling with infertility"? : 1. Just relax, if you remain calm your chances will be better 2. Take a vacation and don't think about it, that's when you'll get pregnant!

I think I will buy that Anji CD Isabella. Thank you for the good suggestion! I have heard good things.
In addition to our list of Quote:
3. Your sister is pregnant, when are you going to start trying? 4. You are so lucky to be married with no kids. You should enjoy it while you can. You have no idea what life is like afterwards. We should start a list of what we want on IVF Island. I'll get it started: 1. A free, unlimited HPT Dispenser in each bathroom stall. (Just in case we don't like the results we get the first poas, we can test until we do!) 2. Fresh bowls of pineapple daily delivered to your cabana (gotta help with implantation!) 3. Mandatory calls from our RE asking how we are doing each day. (Got to make this one mandatory for our RE's cause otherwise mine would never call!) Any other essentials?

Our lists are looking good girls!! Here's another one!
Maybe we can start on "What not to say to a hormonal/someone struggling with infertility"? : 1. Just relax, if you remain calm your chances will be better 2. Take a vacation and don't think about it, that's when you'll get pregnant! 3. Your sister is pregnant, when are you going to start trying? 4. You are so lucky to be married with no kids. You should enjoy it while you can. You have no idea what life is like afterwards. 5. Said sarcastically from someone who already has children - "Oh...I would think twice about children, hahaha! They are crazy when they get older, hahaha!!" (Personally, I don't think it is funny at all!!!) We should start a list of what we want on IVF Island. I'll get it started: 1. A free, unlimited HPT Dispenser in each bathroom stall. (Just in case we don't like the results we get the first poas, we can test until we do!) 2. Fresh bowls of pineapple daily delivered to your cabana (gotta help with implantation!) 3. Mandatory calls from our RE asking how we are doing each day.

Cheryl! Hope you get that BFP soon! I love the Infertility Island idea! If IF island doesn't come to fruition we could always just kick it over at Prayingforbabes house - she lives at the BEACH! What beach praying4babes? Oh, and lupron bleeds are normal. Irene - love the BUNNY avatar Cathy - I'm sorry tomorrow is THE day  poor DH. I hate seeing DH cry (or men in general cry)
