Finally cycling again, can I play around here again?

in TTC after 35

There's so many new ladies over here, and I admit I've been bad at keeping up recently. But, there's also a ton of new ladies over on IF and IFVets, my other favorite spots. So, I'd like to return to my roots, if you'll all have me. This board is where I started, and still feels like home.

 We got our tentative schedule for our DE Cycle today. ER is set for 6/13ish, and ET - 6/18ish. I've been on BCPs since 4/3 (and hating every minute of them). I'll start lupron in a couple of weeks. The next step is paying the big, fat bill, which freaks me out a bit.

Anyway, I hope to get to know new people, and catch up with some familiar faces, as I hop on board the rollercoaster again. Good luck everyone.

    No your grounded...haha. I was just reading DE check-in and saw your post! This is so exciting! Good Luck to you.

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

    Good to see you around, and good luck!  I'm glad that you are on to your DE cycle; I really hope that this works out!  (And there is a good precedent from our board with DE -- lhcooper & Bubs, and maybe others?)

    Welcome back!  Good to hear things are in progress for you, very exciting!

    Do you go to RMA? Or did you go there and switch? I seem to recall that you are in North Jersey but maybe I am mistaken about that. 

    TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.

    Mt.! It's so great to see you. I always try and stalk you a little bit to see what's happening with you. So exciting about your DE cycle! Can't wait to hear how it goes.... 

    I am mostly on IF board now gearing up for my IVF cycle, which was already delayed once due to a cyst (my first ever) that was supposed to be impossible while on BCP. Well, I am no newbie to delays so I am trying to be patient again.

    Don't BCP's suck?!? 

    You seem really comfortable  in your decision to be moving forward - I am happy for you. :)

    Hey Solar! I've been trying to keep tabs on you over on IF. I'm sorry about the cyst, especially when you were on the dreaded BCPs. I hope it's gone when you get rechecked, and that everything else finally falls in line for you to start cycling. Hoping great things for you!
