Intro and a Q

I'm not very good about posting on posting on boards, but I thought introducing myself might help mitigate all the lurking I'm bound to do...

 I'm 32. After two miscarriages, I had #1 in April 2011. DH and I have been TTC #2 for 8 months. Because I had a uterine infection after my c-section with #1, they suspect my tubes may be blocked, so I have an HSG scheduled for Monday morning. DH has a semen analysis scheduled in a few weeks.

 Everything will be OOP, so I am feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of spending tens of thousands of dollars to have another baby.

So there's my Debby Downer intro.

The Q: I'm mentally preparing for IVF. For those of you going that route, how long did it take from the time you decided to do it and the actual first transfer?

    I am waiting to test after my transfer last Sunday.  I decided to do IVF in the beginning of October and my retrieval was November 6th so it was about a month. It is overwhelming but use us here as a place to turn for support and answers to questions.

    I would say probably 2 months.  It would depend where you are in your cycle.  A typical IVF cycle lasts 6 weeks and usually there are a few tests your RE will run too.  GL
