Infertility Veterans

2 more weeks until the end of the semester...

and then I might be able to have some free time to get on here during the day and chat with everyone.  Work still is so busy and I really could use a break.  Ugg, oh well.  The summer break will be here soon.

The good news is that I should be getting AF sometime next week and will call my RE for CD3 bloodwork to get  BCPs and FET#1 started!!  I'm so happy to have the end of my break in sight.  I know I was waiting for and recovering from surgery but I haven't cycled since November and I'm eager to get things going again.  

Thinking about all of you everyday and sending lots of PPVs to everyone.

    Yay!  I hope this FET is the one for you!  I know what you mean about looking forward to cycling again.  My last cycle was late November/early December and I can't wait to get started with my IVF cycle.  The wait is killing me!

    I guess I technically have off since i'm a 10 month employee but in the academic setting, no one really takes off.  I will work less hours but I will still work/teach.

    And yes, let's go to Thomas Sweets sooon!!!!!  I was just going to see if anyone was around and up for a drink or something this weekend.  DH will be in Boston all weekend and I'm gonna need some girl time.

    You name the time and I will be there.  Worms, you must come too!  and any other NJ/NYC ladies too.

    I know!!  when I talk about the stress of cycling to my friends, they always say, well why don't you take a break from things, and I always tell them the breaks are worse because I can't stand doing nothing since there is no trying on your own for me.

    Good luck with your IVF, maybe we will be cycle buddies.  Fingers crossed for both of us.
