Anyone starting IVF right now?

I am starting my 2nd go around of IVF. I just stopped my birth control yesterday and started taking Lupron 10units this past Thursday. The Lupron is new for me this time, in fact most of this protocol is all new compared to last time. We implemented endometrial biopsy/scraping, which is when they scrape the lining in order to injure it so that it rebuilds itself. When it rebuilds, the lining becomes more receptive to implantation when the time comes. I guess I am just looking for some cycle buddies to help support each other along the way! I would love to hear about anyone who has experience with the Lupron protocol as well and if anyone had this scraping done before? Thanks!

I started my first round of IVF on 3/9 as well. Lupron 10units every morning birth control stopped on 3/20 go for my first vaginal ultrasound on 3/26. We are hoping it takes this time since we had to pay for the medications.
I did three rounds of IUI with clomid but they didn't take.

I started the flare Lupron protocol on 3/19 and the Follistim yesterday. This is my second fresh round of IVF. Our first cycle resulted in only 2 embryos that were able to transfer. Yay for cycle buds!!

ematthews - hope all went well with your ER


just out of curiosity ladies how long after your baseline did you do your ER and ETs? This is my first round with IVF so I'm not quite sure what to expect.

Well I didn't just start but last week my IUI cycle got transferred to an IVF cycle in the matter of minutes....kind of freaked me out. So anyway, 3/28 I had my retrieval and yesterday I did the 5 day transfer (2 embryos) now I'm on my 2 ww. Also, this is my first IVF attempt, I have had two failed IUIs, two cancelled IUIs due to timing (while on clomid) and two cancelled IUIs due to responding too well to menopur.
