I have lurked for a few weeks-I guess I should introduce myself and tell a little history. My name is Brande. I am 32 and dh is 33; we have a daughter, Camryn who is 3 1/2. I teach high school English in Georgia-I love my job! We tried for over three years to get pregnant with Camryn and finally got our wish after 8 IUIs, 3 with injections and the others with Clomid. I had a great pregnancy, even with gestational diabetes. We haven't used any birth control since Camryn was born and really thought we would have a another baby. I have had two miscarriages-one b/f Camryn was born and one a year ago. We did three more IUI cycles last year...and nothing. I took off the whole year with school and such and then we went to a new RE in April. He immediately recommended IVF, which we are starting this month. I start my meds tonight with 150 units twice a day of Follistim with Gannirelix starting on CD7. I had my baseline yesterday and everything looked great; I go back for another U/S on Saturday with possible retrieval sometime at the end of next week. If you made it this far, thanks for reading!

Hey Brande,

Glad you found us, this is a great bunch to help you through and cheer you on!

I've seen you in my June Cyclers thread. Camryn is ADORABLE! Like Stacie said, I hope this cycle brings her a much wanting sibling.

I'm a little bit behind you with my ER/ET sometime in mid June. I'm wishing you LOTS of luck!!
