Hey Everyone!

Add me the group! We are having our first IVF/ICSI cycle in May/june. Dh has azoospermia and so has to have a mTESE and we still dont' know if sperm will be found- !! We are also travelling from CA to NY (so that he can see the best md in the country)! So this cycle is very overwhelming, but I am excited to get going. I start bcp w/ af in april, then lupron in may, and er/et sometime in the end of my or beginning of june.

I am glad we can all cycle together, I know I have a lot to learn about this process!

Wishing us all 's!!!!

Lauren

Ladies, I just had my sonohisterogram today. My husband and I begin medications around the 18th of April. Him, an antibiotic and me Baby Asprin and Steroid. Then I will stop the BCP on the 22nd, sono/lab on the 25th then medications to start on the 27th. Stiming for 5 days, sono/lab on the 1st and 2nd and 5th, then from there it's a guessing game. Based on how my follies are progressing ER should be the first week in May with ET the following week. I can't wait. Anyone close to any of those dates? I would love to have some to stress about all this with. Let's bring on the MAY . to all.

I should be right there with you. I won't know until AF gets here in a couple weeks but I should start stims by 24ish of April. This puts ER & ET the first week of May. I will get my protocol the first week in April.

I will start BCPs once arrives, sometime at the end of next week. I should begin stimming the first week of May but will get my calendar will I start BCPs. It is getting very close and I can't wait.

Thanks Cathy! I knew there was a May thread somewhere and I just couldn't find it. Great to see I'm already on the list for BCPs in April- Thanks so much for including me.

I'm for everyone to have plus lots of frosties too!! I'm glad that some of you have experience with this (although I hope for your that your "experience" ends quickly with a ), I'm sure I'll have lots of questions along the way!

Thanks very much! I'll be 1.5 weeks behind you if all goes as planned! I'm so excited. I don't wait to get my hopes up too high, but I've heard so many success stories here- I can't help it! My clinic told me that I have a 65% chance with just one cycle- that gives me hope!
