Hi,

So I have been posting congrats and hugs here and answering IUI questions on this board.  

We had 5 failed IUIs and are doing a natural IUI to fulfill the insurance requirement. We are unexplained and 32.  (info in siggy)

I should get AF around August 12th and then begin IVF.  My RE does cycles every 2 months and said I would be doing retrival/transfer in the beginning of September.  Does that seem right? How long did you stim for before retrieval?  Does everyone take BC pills before starting?  Just trying to figure out a time frame because I'm a teacher and go back to work in September.  

I have my IVF consult tomorrow.  Are there any important questions I should ask? Any advice is much appreciated.  I have been trying to research everything IVF related but I feel like there is so much to learn. 

Thanks and good luck to you all!
