Hi Marlene.

I will be doing lupron too. my first day of my menses should be the first or second day of August. so we r waiting til then. then of course b/w and schedule my mock transfer and pray that my uterus looks good and go from there. I am very excited! I am 39 and I have four children that I had successful pregancys with. I had a tubal done after my baby who is now 17. I remarried and now my husband of 5 years and I would love to start a new journey together and try to have a child of our own. We chose IVF/ICSI because they cant do a reversal on me. So we pray all goes well.

Hi! Congrats on ur ivf decision. My dh and I are doing ivf as well...

We are on a luteal plus 2 protocal. Which means I'll be supressing with lupron. We started bcp on 6/23 and I started lupron injections on 7/5. The injections so far are not that bad. I took the nurse's advice and numb the injection site with ice prior to and I don't feel the needle when it goes in. A little dizzy after the injection but I go to bed right after...
I take my last bcp tmrw but will continue lupron until dr says so. I go in on fri for b/w and u/s. If all comes back ok, I can start stims on fri...
Also, I started fertility acupuncture the same week that I started the bcp. I go for treatments 2x a week all the way thru the 2ww. Its been very wonderful :-)
Where are u in the process?

Xo,
Marline

Hi Kim,
            well if u are a lil afraid of the shots then stay calm coz ivf is going to get u used to shots....thats what happened with me.....the shots arent REALLY painful.....just stay calm and remember that you hav made the decision for ivf and will not go back on it....... be relaxed and stay positive.....i wish u lots of luck.
take care,
Sid :)

Yes I met with the IVF Nurse yesterday and she gave us the run down. we are doing ICSI. I am a little afraid of the shots myself. I hope I can do them.Have you had any successful pregnancys through IVF? What is the mini?

:) Thanks,
Kim

Hi, Did they give you any Idea what your protocol was going to be? I've had Ivf and now I am doing a mini ivf. they are both different. The shots are no big deal. Hopefully your DH will give them to you. I for some weird reason couldn't do it to myself. I started in the beginning but after about 3 days I had some trouble but DH came through as always. You'll be just fine! do you have any specific questions?
SSBD,
