Ladies of May- IVF cycles

Hi all,
I just wanted to start a specific thread for those of us who will be having our ER & ET in May. May the month of may bring blossoming bellies to each and every one of us.

I will be starting BCP in April around the beginning of the month. If things go according to schedule about the 3rd week I would start injections and then have ER and ET in the beginning "ish" of May. I look forward to cycling to with each of you.

Hi all! I may or may not be joining in, but I thought I'd say hi either way. I'd new in general, so really have no idea what to expect.

(BTW my RE's medical group web site says "expect to be expecting" so we'll see about that)

I still have one month left of clomid trial, but am meeting with my RE on March 21st to see if I can start IVF (BCPs in April, I guess). I'll probably lurk around until I find out for sure, but just wanted to introduce myself.

Count me in too. I'm on both April/May threads. My RE says the April/May IVF cycle so I will be staddling both. I will probably start stims in April and ER, ET in May. Hopefully. I have a ART class next Wednesday. Mostly to learn the injection protocol. I've already done IUI's with injectibles.

Time is moving very slow. I hate it. But it will be here before you know it and all of us will have . Can't wait. Am looking forward to cycling with you strong ladies.

Everyone: The days will start to move a little quicker with friends to talk to. The first week in March is almost over and April is quickly approaching.

What is everyone doing to help pass the time? My DH and I are doing small home improvements projects around the house and have planned a mini vacation for the middle of March.

to everyone

I am trying to find things to do. Since we lost our baby boy in October, I have not been back to work. I am taking 2 graduate classes so they are keeping me a little busy. My mom and I want to plan a trip but I am having trouble with finding the perfect time. Due to irregular cycles, it is very hard to plan anything this close to the start of IVF. I really need to do some spring cleaning in my house, but just can't find the energy to begin. Have a great vacation and I hope that I can get mine planned.

I'm so sorry about your loss. Grad classes are more than enough to keep you busy. I work in a college and can't imagine going back for grad school right now - way to much stress for me. I hope you are able to plan your trip. We decided just to take a long weekend and drive into Canada about 1 hour away to stay in a cute little inn. Its not a major trip but a great way to relax
