Hi ladies! I'm in!

I just finished up IVF#3, an FET that was unsuccessful. IVF#1 and #2 were both fresh cycles resulting in low beta BFPs and that never made it farther than 8 weeks. I wasnt sure if I wanted some time off but I decided to jump back in and HOPE AND PRAY #4 does the trick! I have no frozen embies left so I'm doing a fresh cycle. I've been back on BCP since May 9th and I'll be starting Lupron on May 24th. I do a long lupron protocol so I'm assuming my ER/ET will be mid June.

I'm totally with you, Renee, the shots are part of life now unfortunately, its the heartbreat that makes it so scary! And Babygurl, you're also right, once that box hits your front door......the nervousness sets in!

I'm anxious to get to know all of you! Good luck to the newbies. I hope you guys are on the 'one and done' track!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to join you this month. Last month I was lurking as a went through my cycle and hoping for BFPs for everyone. I just found out yesterday that our 1st cycle failed, so we are transferring the two we have frozen in the beginning of June. My Doctor said I can do it this next cycle on Estrogen or the cycle after that naturally. I'm not sure what that means. Has anyone done a frozen transfer on Estogen?
Anyway it will be nice to have people to talk to as I go through it this time! I know those of you who said you are going through your first cycle are very nervous. I was too, but once you get through the first shots you will be so proud of yourselves! Each day the shots get easier and it goes by so quickly.
Good Luck to ALL OF YOU!!!!!

Hi Girls,
Many of you have probably started your meds by now. Where is everyone in their cycle right now?
I will be cheering you all on from the sidelines until I start in June. I am just starting to get healthy...giving up my trusted friends Corona and lime, continuing to exercise and eat right (mostly). I am also doing acupuncture once a week (I LOVE IT!)
How are you all doing?
Good luck everyone...

I start Lupron June 20something! (depending on when AF decides to show) As for now I am trying to be good and take my prenatal vitamins everyday, eat right, and exercise. One habit that will be very, very hard to give up is my COFFEE!!! Ahhh! I can't live w/o my morning and afternoon cup. I don't know how I am going to do it?? I guess I'll start weaning myself by switching to half decaf/half reg. ASAP!

I'm starting Lupron on May 24th (like Meghan!) ER/ET will be mid June.

I'm going for my 1st acupuncture appt today at 3pm and i'm VERY excited! I'm going for back pain actually but I'm going to talk to the acupuncturist about doing some sessions for IVF as well. I'm hoping that she can get my back in order, if not, I might postpone this cycle........( ) Hopefully that doesnt have to happen........

I just started my Estrace last night and I am scheduled to go back for BW and sono on the 29th. My FET should be the first week in June. The week I turn 36!!! I have an appointment with my Doctor tomorrow to go over my last cycle and the quality of my frozen embryos.

I'm starting to get excited again. I bet all of you are too. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!!
