Cycle buddies Start Sept. 2010

[rmartinez2009]

Looking for anyone beginning their IVF cycles  around September 2010 told i needed to reach out and connect with someone who is going through the same thing as the DH and I. Please contact me if possible. Very interested in the success stories also since this will be our first time.

Okay so AF finally showed up. I start my BCP tomorrow and Lupron on the 19th. But they did say that insurance is giving them a hard time so I might not get my meds in time. They said that they will keep me on the BCP until I receive my meds. They said that it does not have a negative impact at all. What a process, huh? Anyway, I am so excited.

Where is everyone?????? it's tooo quiet :-)  Thinking of you all.

Terri - Don't give up, anything over 5 is concidered a positive. I think you should go back on Wednesday, just to make sure. I am sorry you are going through this, I can't imagine how frustrating it is, as this is my first IVF. You should be more pushy :-) Make your doctor answer all your questions. I called my doctor at least 3 times when I had my bloodwork done to find out what it meant. And if they get mad or irritated, I would concider switching doctors b/c you don't need the added stress right now. My thoughts are with you, big hugs.

LaPoo - wow, 3 times a week, that seems a little extreme. My girl wants me to go once a week at $60 a pop. I have my next appointment on Thursday. I will be thinking of you next wednesday. It's so exciting.

As for me - was supposed to get AF yesterday and she hasn't shown yet, although I feel like she will any minute. So DH and I were sitting there and thinking that I have never been late before so I ran to a 24 hour Walgreens and got a hpt. Neg. Of all the times I want that witch to show, she is going to be late. and now its after three so I can't concider this CD1 even if she shows now. ARGGGGGGGG!!!!!! Sorry for the rant. Thanks for listening ladies. SSBD to you all. {{{{hugs}}}}

I guess no news is good news. No call from the doctor's office however the nurse did say my uterus looked fine during the scan. They didn't call me the first time and basically said the same thing "my uterus was fine" soooooo Saturday is my last day of BCP. I have my baseline U/S on the following Wednesday then start Lupron/Stims the weekend. Not looking forward to the Lupron but a girl has to do what a girl has to do.

I've been doing a little exercise and continuing accupuncture FOR NOW. Not sure if I'm going to continue. The accupuncturist wants to increase my treatments to 3xweekly. Well, I just can't afford 3 treatments weekly at $65 a pop. He said my progress was slow. In other words my energy is not yet centered. Well...I may look for other accupuncturist in my area, hopefully someone else is less expensive and i may be able to afford another treatment. We'll see...

Hi Ladies,
I have been following all of your conversations, and can't seem to stop admiring the courage of youvall, God bless you all for being fighters, I know he is watching over all of us.  Today I'm so bummed out, this morning I went for my BETA and it came back positive but very low (6) Im supposed to go back on Wednesday but I wont, as I already know what the answer its going to be, Im just going to wait for AF to show up which Im sure will be before the end of the week.  Has anyone had FET the next menstrual cycle? or is a rule that everybody has to wait al least one month? Unfortunately my RE is not very informative and neither is his nurse, so I'm in limbo just learning from you all.  And finally decided to write down something as I see you guys so enthusiatic you are making my tears go away with hope again.    This is my second time in here!!! Any comments are welcome!!!  I guess I'll be ready for FET 3 by mid October.

Wow your right it is quiet on here. I am finally home after 4 days of rain and 3 days of 70 degree weather. I came home to beautiful sunny and 90 degree days. thank god I live on the beach, I can still enjoy the water.

Randi - wow 18 days is not long at all. I will be thinking of you on friday. I am still waiting for AF. I can feel her right around the corner. She just wont show. I hope she shows before 3 so I can start BCP tomorrow. I still have to find out about insurance too. We are supposed to have it covered at 100% but with my luck something will go wrong.

I am thinking of you all and I hope everyone is doing well.

hey sorry i haven't been on in a while well like 3 days it looks like noone else has either it is very very quiet, guess you guys are hunting for rabbits?

So i am going to give you guys some advice, I have found an awesome book that cost me about 15 dollars at barnes and noble, it has been great and i hate to read. Its called A Few Good Eggs by Julie Vargo and Maureen Regan. Its about two chicks who dish on overcoming the insanity of infertility. Just another reminder that we are not alone... i recommend it for all of us. its very inspirational.  

So i go to the doctor on Friday and should begin stims on Friday night, only 18 days until my tentative retrieval date it is really starting to fly by. and my injections are beginning to hurt worse and bruise, but i will do whatever i have to to ensure that i will hopefully bring home that bundle of joy around may or june, i am so happy to be on this journey.
