Teagan & Maggie34!!! You'll find this is a great place- I'm new here too!! Angie-- yes I hope things do stay on track- it would definitely be nice to have a cycle buddy during the 2ww!!....I always feel like I'm going insane during that time-- I have no clue how I'll make it through the 2ww after my IVF....For some reason to me that seems like it may be even harder!!! I am from Columbia, SC!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!!

Wow - there are so many of us going through this in May! I think the spring will bring LOTS of successes.
Currently residing in Cleveland, OH but our house is on the market and we've got "plans" on moving to CA... I'm waiting from a call from one of the nurses at the IVF clinic to get a schedule for my FET... I'll keep you all posted!

I'm getting really excited and anxious the closer it gets to time to start. Actually I'm becoming a *****, I think. Very irritable. I'm trying to control it but sometimes it's hard. I'm glad I can cycle with others and we can share our thoughts, feelings etc.. That will help. There have been a lot of ladies get
their first time "up to bat", so I'm hopefull. P.S. I'm from St. Joseph, Missouri
