Cycle Buddies 2009 - the saga continues

[Heather5]

Hi girls! Hope you're all doing well! It's been a little while since last time I posted, and before I give you guys my update, I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words in posts, messages and notes I have recieved! I really appreciate all the support! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. As many of you know, we've had family in town for the past 16 days, and then my husband was laid off in the middle of their visit, which forced us to make a decision whether or not to continue with the IVF. We have decided to go ahead with it, since insurance wouldn't have covered it anyway...and my DH has a temporary contracting job at the moment, so hopefully everything will work out.

I've also had to "sneak" out and get a whole bunch of tests done, since we haven't told our family we're planning on doing IVF, so that was an added stress. But I'm now finally done with everything, and our visitors have left, so I'm officially back!!!! I started lupron 20 units two days ago, and had my trial transfer and water sono that same day. I also got my protocol, and I will be on 3 repronex vials and 1 menopur vial a day once I start the stims. I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing, but also excited. I just REALLY hope it works!

OK! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do....I'll post again later once I've read through the posts on the old thread. Also, if everyone could please give me their current cycle days and info, I'll start a new list.

SSBD!

Heather :-)

all, i am on 3rd round of clomid and hoping it works for me. I ovulate on my own thou and clomid is given to correct my irregular length cycles and extend luteal phase. i used to ovulate late earlier now clomid made me ovulate early. I really really need everyones prayers. I hv some health problems (which dont affect the baby) so I cant ttc for long time I hv to get back to my medications so I need to get preggo fast.
this forum has given me lot of hope in life and lots of knowledge. I am so thankful I found this.

Sorry abt your m/c. Its very upsetting, but don't loose hope or patience. You said RE is going to do some tests. Hopefully they will figure out the cause and ensure you will never have to go thru this again.

Had a m/c over the weekend.  Really upsetting.  RE wants to do some tests since 2nd one.

Am back in the 2WW, rather 3 WW for me. Did an IUI back to back yesterday and today. Was given HCG twice. Only one mature follie so only one target ;-), hope it works out this month. I am starting on progesterone supp for 10days from today.
