Is anyone starting IVF in October 2008?

I was looking for others to communicate with during my first IVF cycle.  I will begin Lupron on Wednesday October 22.  I went through 4 failed IUI's this summer.  I am 34 years old.  I have a daughter who will turn 3 next month.  She was finally conceived after almost 4 years of ttc and a laparoscopy for me and varicocele repair for my husband.  I have all my medications sitting here waiting for the next month.  Our embryo transfer should occur the week before Thanksgiving so we should know if we're pregnant by Dec. 10.  I am excited and hopeful, but realistic.  I know this procedure only carries a 50% success rate for any given cycle.  Any others out there starting IVF soon?  Add me as a friend and we'll keep in touch!

I was extremely bloated but more due to OHSS which gets worse if you get pregnant. I had sore breast and on and off slight cramping, and some back pain. Otherwise no side effects.

I couldn't leave you a note or message so I'm posting here. I started getting positive hpts at 5dp5dt. But it was so faint you could hardly see it. I got a good visible line starting 7dpt.

Thanks for the comments ladies!  I was dizzy for a couple of days and my breasts felt tingly and a little sore.  But the dizziness I'd say was definitely an early pregnancy sign.  Right now I'm nauseated too.  They say that can begin the first week of pregnancy.  I'm definitely feeling it!  Ok, I'll check in later!  Good luck to those of you waiting!  I know how tough it is!  I worked Mon, off today, will work tomorrow but I am keeping my schedule light and I've scheduled breaks between each patient so I can rest.
