Infertility Veterans

Just took my first BCP!!!

And my last one will be May 21st (to sync me up w the mTESE schedule)...

Then I'll go right to stims bc I'm antagonist this time.  My ER will be between 6/1-6/12 (mTESE schedule again).

I hope my 35 yr old ovaries aren't supressed into outer space, but i don't have a choice about that (mTESE schedule YET again).  I was an "over responder" last time, so I hope all of these BCP's are OK.  My RE will have to figure this out (that's what he's getting paid to do ;)

EKK, I'm FINALLY back on the rollercoaster!!!!!!!!!

I know mm29 is a cycle buddy....anyone else?

  • Potential buddy here! That's around the time doc wants me to cycle. But I'm not actively doing anything (well AF is here, but that doesn't count) towards my cycling. I'm still waiting on my consult with CCRM May 10th and trying to decide about making a trip to Cornell. We'll see. Honestly, I've enjoyed the break and haven't thought about it too much- well I have my days lol.

    I am so excited you are finally cycling! Eeekkkkkk! I hope this is it. Lots of T&P for you!!!!!
