Hey all! I just found out from my doctor (after having my IVF cycle cancelled last month) that I get to start Follistim today! I was wondering if there are any other ladies starting around the same time? If so, I would love to find some cycle buddies! Thanks!

" Started Luprolide on the 5th, all is going well, just one quarter sized bruise, the rest no mark.

My husband is doing the shots after I load the syringe, while i concentrate on breathing and close my eyes.
I'll surely get used to it soon.
It's not nearly as awful as I had though it would be, infact it's physically a thing of nothing.

I hope this our frist infertility treatment will at least help the Drs discover something else about me that will take us to a new high of hopefulness. And at best be a success.

I suddenly felt all okay about doing IVF on the second day of the shots, it was a nice feeling of peace with our decision to go forward with IVF, and I'm hanging on to that feeling so far.

Went to a fertility conference in MA yesterday, and we both learned a lot about IVF and infertility in class type settings, while we also got to mingle with others going through similar things.
Randomly I sat down at a lunch table with the woman from the pharmacy who i email with questions about the drugs.
She's even nicer in person!

Hope you're all feeling as clam and okay about things as I.
