numeria! I am so sorry to hear of your loss, what a difficult time it must be for you. I am wishing you success for this cycle!!

Anyone getting ready to start ?? I am still waiting on AF and then bcp...maybe another week or so. I am SO ready!! Although starting to get a little nervous too (esp. about all the injections!!)

Lauren,
The injections arn't as bad as you think especially when you know why you are doing them. I was a huge baby, but I made it through my first IVF.

Lauren,

I am getting very anxious also. I am patiently waiting for . She should be here within the next couple of days and then off to BCPs. I don't think that I have been so thrilled to be on BCPs. Anyway, good luck to everyone and it will be here before we know it.

I was only on the pill for a very short time when I was young. DH and I have been together so loooooong that there was no need for them. I never much liked the person I became on while on the pill (just a little crazy) so the idea that I am counting the days until I get to start them again!!!!! NOW I MUST BE CRAZY.

Hi Josephine and Nicole!

Me too! I was on several bcp for years and never liked them. But now I can't wait! Hope we don't have too many side effects though... Its all kinda funny really, I was on bcp for years all the while my dh likely had azoospermia so their was exactly 0% i could have ever gotten pg. oh well. Thats irony for you.

Hi to everyone!!

Are you all doing anything special to prepare? acupuncture, special diet etc?

I am currently on BCP and will go off them on April 22nd. Then I have my three day sono/lab on the 25th. I will begin injections on the 27th, sono/lab on the 1st and 2nd and 5th. If I'm doing well then the ER should be around the 5,6, or 7th then ET the following week. I'm getting really anxious. I have to drive 1 hour each day for my sono and labs. In the end though it's worth it. Can't wait for all of us to get started. It will be nice having so many wonderful ladies to cycle with. Let's go May Ladies. Bring on the .

Jessicap- Have you had an HSG in the past? If not be prepared for a big huge very uncomfortable cramp that lasts about 90 seconds. some women don't feel a thing, but I think its better to be prepared than taken by surprise. Can your DH come with you? It was fine and not the most horrible thing, but I was definately glad a friend of mine told me what to expect.
