Did the ER last month and had moderate OHSS so we froze all good embryos.

first cycle of IVF so I am still pretty nervous.

Hoping to have FET beginning of May so I am trying to be patient ...

Julie,
You went through all the hard stuff. I think that besides the 2ww everything after ER was pretty easy.

I'm hoping that since its my second try I will be less stressed overall since I know what to expect.

Hi guys,
I just wanted to stop by and say hi since I also will be doing IVF in May. I saw an RE for the first time today we are going straight to IVF! My initial IVF clinic appt will be on 3/27 and they'll start me on the OCP's then for a month. Hopefully ER and ET sometime in May if everything goes well! I'm so excited... Good luck to all of us!

Good luck with your FET. I am not sure how that process works - it's the only treatment that I have yet to do . Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks! I am taking my classes on the internet so I can do it on my own time. I will let you know about the trip.
