Jenster!

My estimated ER is the week of 9/15. This is my 1st IVF and I am just learning as I go! I am a bit nervous to start my stims next week. I have my baseline ultrasound on Tuesday. I'm not really sure what to expect when I start the stims.

Was the mock transfer painful? I am scheduled for next Friday.

I'm not really sure what to advise you on how to keep up w/ the postings. There are so many that I get confused on who is posting what! I kind of go through the most recent ones and gather info and experiences from the other posts.

Well, good luck and keep your for a smooth cycle!

Newbies!!

Well, I had my lining & Levels checked today and my RE decided that we should stay on track. I guess the mix up with the shots didn't make a huge impact on things. My E2 doubled and my lining is ready. It's between 10.5-11 so we're on for our transfer for Friday. We just need our frosties to thaw properly on Wednesday so they can grow to blasts. Oh, this just has to work! So nerve wracking!!

Hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend!!

Sorry ladies, I am leaving the cycle. My DH and I are separating. Better now then later, I guess.

Good luck to you all.

I'm glad to hear that everyone is moving right along! I haven't been able to get on the board since school started this week. I wish it was still summer...then I could keep up with all of you! Oh well...

I FINALLY got my meds today. Who-hoo! I'm so excited. I have some questions though, since I have some meds that I've never used before.
*Menopur-Do you refrigerate it? Or is room temp ok?
*I also have Q-caps that came with my order. What are these for??
*My Microdose Lupron came as "Leuprolide." Has anyone else gotten this? And I only have 1 vial. Do I just keep putting it back in the fridge after each 8iu dose? I hope it's enough!

I will hopefully find more time this weekend to post more. Good luck to everyone!!

Wishing- CONGRATULATIONS!
babynurse05-sorry to hear about you and DH, you are in my prayers.
southhampton-I use the pen...it is great! You can not get the injection wrong. Downside is if you do not have enough meds in the vial, you will need to take two shots to make up for what you did not get. Example, you are on 225 and you current vial contains 75, you need to load a new vial to inject the remaining 150. But the pen will let you know how much is remaining, so that helps.

for for all!

Welcome Jenster, I am new also to the forum. It takes a bit to catch the terminology but you will get the hang of it. Everyone is really nice and helpful. The user CP will help you understand the terminology. Make certain you complete your tag line, so you can be added to the calendar of events for September.
