well, AF came...YAY, but can't start my IVF cycle..GRRR!!
i am beyond mad, sad, frustrated, etc...i was all ready to start my 3rd IVF cycle..after my 3 month "break" that I chose to have after my 2 failed back to back IVFs....well i was siked to get my period today...called in for my day 1 and the nurse happened to ask if I would be away in august...well no, i told her, but was going away for a weekend in september (Sept 9-11) for a wedding in St. Louis....well, because of that, we would be cutting it close with the timing of everything (retrieval, transfer,etc) and she didn't want to take any chances...so one more month of waiting....SO SO SO MAD!!! I keep hearing the doctors voice in my head...she told me before I decided to take a break, that my eggs get "older" each month and that I shouldn't "break" for too long....now I feel like this one extra month is going to hurt me...my egg quality is very poor as it is...
one positive thing about waiting the extra month is that it will give me more time with the DHEA (been on it for just about 2 1/2 months and they say being on for 3 months or more is optimal) and I could do more acupuncture...
until next month.......

sorry
I hope everything goes smoothly once you do start to cycle.
On the bright side...you will have a buddy during monitoring b/c I will be cycling around the same time.
In all seriousness, can't they adjust your BCP or something to make it work?

GRRRR is right. How f'ing frustrating. I swear, the whole "waiting game" is such a mind f*ck. Waiting for this, waiting for that... I hate to wish away time while my son is young and we are all relatively healthy and happy but I find myself doing it. A lot.
I am full of F bombs tonight.
If you were cutting it close it may have been even more stressful - so go, have fun at the wedding then come home and get back to business.
I feel your pain sister. Hang in there!
btw - where do you do acupuncture?
the waiting is the worst....but it's good that you are thinking positively regarding the dhea and the acu!
i hope the time goes fast .u will be there before u know it!!
Familiar story! We are taking a 2 month break (June and July) and then starting up again in Sept. We'll be away for a week in Oct, so we'll have a break then as well. I'm hoping I don't lose too much time, but I really needed a few months for a mental break. I've been taking DHEA about 2 months as well - I hope you're right and 3 months is optimal!

That stinks, I'm so sorry.
But I'm with Amanda, I think this means we'll all be around the same time now, I think. My surgery is Wednesday, and then I have 28 days of meds, and then AF should start sometime during the last week of meds or in the few days following, so my next cd1 should be around the beginning of September and the IUI middle of the month.
In other news, I spent 6 months on DHEA-S and just went off it, because he said it has now done all it can do to supercharge my ovaries. And it wasn't until after 2 months, or maybe 3, that it was supposed to hit its most therapeutic effect. So I think you will be right at the high point!
Again, I'm sorry, the whole hurry up and wait thing is the hardest part.
