Hi jennifer-
My cycle will be a bit different from yours but no reason we can't be buddies. This is my first cycle as well. I actually started in Oct. I had my e/r on oct 29th, my ovaries decided to hyperstimulate. So now I just starting my meds to do a FET on nov 30th. I would be happy to answer any questions and support each other.

Just wanted to pop in and say good luck, ladies. I hope you both get your BFP!

I started Lupron on the 10th. This is also my first IVF cycle! I'm so excited about getting things done. Good luck to you!

I start my stims on Friday (16th). This is also my 1st IVF cycle and I am scared to death. I am scared of the injections and scared of how I am going to react if I do not get a BFP. I would love to have a buddy to go through the process with. It is nice to see other first timers that probably have a lot of the same feelings I do. It is scary to not know what to expect.

I am currently on the BCP but I start Lupron on the 26th if all goes well. I had a failed IVF cycle in September because I could not produce enough follies. I am praying this time it works. Good luck to all of you.

I'm staring IVF later this month after my cycle starts. I'm also a first-timer! How do we actually keep in touch through all this, just follow the thread of posts?

sophiah-
you can add these ladies to your friends list and then it is really easy to track there progress through email or journal enteries.

Hi all - this site is different that the other one I am on so I think we keep in touch based on these posts. I am not nervous about the shots or the process, just scared of getting canceled at some point or it not working - not sure I could handle that but I guess I would have no choice. Here is my tentative protocol:
11/16 - start 10U Lupron
11/23 - hopefully af starts (may be late due to Lupron)
11/25 - CD 3 suppression check, start stims
ER around 12/8
ET around 12/11
Beta around 12/21
Really praying for a BFP!

I have a high FSH so I am hoping for good eggs and enough of them. I am actually excited to finally be doing something 'more' but it definitely makes the process a lot more intense.

How is everyone else doing?

I have my baseline u/s tomorrow morning and if all goes well, start stims on the 17th.
I'm a first timer too. I'm praying my 1st time works too b/c frankly we can't afford to do this again. So if it doesn't work, hmmm, don't want to think about it not working. will cross that bridge if I get to it. Just positive thinking all the way!

I started my Lupron today. If all goes well I should be doing my ER around the beginning of December. I am also a first timer!

Great - I am so happy to have people to go through this with. I feel like I just want to get started. Even the Lupron will make me feel more in the process - I am not doing BCP so this wait is terrible. At least we will have Christmas craziness to get us all through the 2ww.

Hi everyone,

I started Lupron this morning...if all goes well, I have my retrival on 11/28. Good luck to everyone!!!!!!!! Stay optimistic and hopeful! I am here is anyone has questions!

I too have an elevated FSH of 10.7. I know your fears. I had to cancel my last IVF due to not enough follies. I am on another drug protocol at this time. The fact that you were able to get pregnant before is a good sign. Good luck.

Wow! Lots of first time IVF this month! This is my second cycle. My first failed IVF attempt was in August.

I started Lupron yesterday.
I will do 10 units lupron for at least 10 days and until AF comes. Then baseline testing. My stims this round are Gonal-F 150 IU at night and Repronex 2 vials in the morning. I will also drop the Lupron to 5 units when I start stims.

The repronex is new for me this cycle, so I am not sure what to expect. I did a higher dose of Gonal-F last time.

I am thinking ER will be around 12/4 or 12/5 and ET on 12/7 or 12/8

Good luck with baselines LP66

Rhodygrl & Krisi, we are only a day apart right now! How nice would it be if we have ER/ET the same days!!

Good luck every one!

I am a little confused about dates. I started Lupron today so should be on the same time frame as rhodygrl right? I was told my ER would be around the 10th. Why would my ER date be so different? Is it just the different doctors or maybe different cycles? It just seems that if we start our meds on the same day that my dates would be closer to yours. Can you tell I am new at this?
