Infertility Support Group
In vitro fertilization is one of the most common and utilized ways of treating conception problems. This support group is dedicated to those beginning their journey with IVF and needing support. Join the community and share your experiences, advice, and story with people going through similar challenges starting a family.
Hi. On the advice of a friend, I looked into RESOLVE support groups for NYC (if you are not familiar, RESOLVE is the national infertility association). I found one that sounds perfect for me, its for women who are 40+ and struggling with infertility. I am very interested in joining and wanted to find out if there are any local NYC women who are also 40+ who might want to join as well. I found out there are a few women in the group now, but it would be great to have more women, and especially some local DS sisters. Please do not take this as a soliciation, I have nothing to gain but just wanted to reach out and see if anyone is interested. I absolutely love my DS sisters and the support I get here, but I think it would be great to be in a group that meets face-to-face. If you are interested, message me and I'll send you the info.
Hoping to hop on to this board and find some cycle buddies! This is our first cycle of IVF after almost 4 years of TCC 2 failed IUI's and an "unexplained infertility" diagnosis. Other than my age 44 DH 38 all other numbers are great even with age factored in.
Have been on BCP since 10/8 and not enjoying it. It's my first time EVER on BCP and I feel like I've had PMS for 2.5 weeks...LOL.
I stop BCP on 10/24 and go in for blood work and an ultra sound on 10/28 hopefully starting injections that night. I will be starting with a micro dose of lupron with other drugs to follow.
Estimated retrieval date around the weekend of 11/9
We are at RMA of New York and I also do weekly acupuncture at The Yin Ova Center...will be starting 2x when I start injections.
Looking forward to checking in and seeing how everyone is doing.
