Baseline tomorrow...eek! (UPDATE)

emikat

Well, the time is here!  I have my baseline appointment and injection training tomorrow for my July IVF cycle.  I'm supposed to start stims on Saturday.  Sometimes, honestly, I get scared and wonder if I should just wait for a while and "see what happens" but then I remember I'm 42 and I don't have all the time in the world.  It's probably just cold feet and nerves about the whole process which will be a first for me.  Oh, how much I've wished I was even 5 years younger right now.  Wish me luck ladies that nothing shows up tomorrow that changes the game plan and luck for a successful cycle.  DH and and I right now think we are really only up for trying stims and and ER once, but who knows.  I remember once saying that I would just live with what happens and not go through IVF at all.  Boy how time and circumstances can change your mind on things.  

 

ETA:  Thanks for all the encouragement!  Baseline went well and I have my bag of drugs.    Menopur and Bravelle in the morning and Follistim in the evening starting Saturday.  Yikes and yay at the same time!

Best of luck to you this cycle! 

I'm just a few weeks away from starting, as well, and often have the same second thoughts. Then the crazy hormones settle down and reality sets back in and I'm ready to go!

How exciting!!  Good luck tomorrow!!

I never wished to be younger ... Until we started TTC.

Good luck! It's really not that bad once you get started, the FSH injections don't really cause much in terms of side effects except for some bloating. But yah, in the same boat, I always question if we shouldn't try on our own for a little bit, but when your IVF is successful you won't question that anymore!

Very exciting!  I hope all goes smoothly!

Good luck!  FX that everything looks great at baseline and you can start stims.  It all seems very overwhelming when you first start but after a couple of days of injects, you'll be a pro.

And I've learned through all of this to never say never.  I thought to myself I never would do IVF, yet here I am about to prep for IVF 2.  Right now I'm telling myself it will be my last. 

Good luck to you!

Good luck tomrorrow and I hope nothing shows up on your ultrasound and you are cleared for Stims.  I'm almost done with our first IVF cyle and beta is scheduled for Thursday - just wanted to give you some comfort - I'm awful with needles and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.  The shot clinic will really help you out and put your mind at ease - I'm on my second week of progesterone shots and it's become a fairly simple process - you have nothing to worry about   I will be thinking positive thoughts for you.

GL with your IVF cycle.  IF is a process, making decisions about which avenue to travel down at each juncture.  I was like you, no IVF.....but the more you try to become pg, the more it seems you deserve to be successful.

Good luck!  The injection class was a little intimidating but once we actually started the shots, it was no big deal.

Good luck!!! I am supposed to start stims Sat too (hopefully)! Fingers crossed for all of us, it's seems like a long road but hoping we get the prize:)
