Anybody else just started or will be starting their IVF??

I have just started my first ever IVF cycle 4 days ago and would like to share this experience with other ladies that are doing it at the same time.  I am doing an antagonist cycle and am on 300iu of Gonal F.

I hope you do take the time off. You are putting alot of money into this.  I too was trying to work as much as I can in between my meds.  I did my first rounds of meds at home and tried to do my second at work.

I'm a flight attendant by the way.  I was so scared that I would do something wrong.  I was protective of my meds and carried it around as if was a baby. And to me it was.

I got sick from the medication or the stress on my trip home.  I was no help to my colleagues and my passengers.  My doctor said to me when I screwed up on a dose, and I tried reschedule an appt due to work. What meant more to me.

I realized then that I had the time available to take off and did not have the money to waste. so I took three weeks off to do my treatment. I get my results on thursday.  I am scheduled to go back to work on the 3rd. (Maybe, I'll extend my leave or do desk work)

We'll see what GOD has plans for us, right now I'm staying grounded....

Good luck on whatever you decide to do...

Girl rotfl... you need to hide them in the tampons and pads box.  Girl he backed into my SUV trying to block me in and took out one of my tail lights.

Men are crazy!!!!!

I sent my 16 year old cousin to the store to buy me a three pack of pregnancy tests... and yes they are hidden.

Still LOL!!!!!!
