Hello Everyone!! I am new to this board, I think I may have posted here in the past, but I am not sure. Anyway just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. We have done 6 clomid cycles - 3 with IUI and 3 w/out, and 3 Cycles of injectable (Bravelle) with IUI. I have never conceived with any of that or on our own. 2 years ago I had surgery for stage 3 endometriosis. We are about to start out first IVF process as soon as my next cycle starts - which should be next week! I am very excited and also extremely nervous!! I wanted to see who else would be on a similar schedule to me? Thanks and I look forward to posting here!

    Hello and welcome! We will be cycling pretty close together. I should be starting my IVF cycle towards the end of next week. There is a checkin that is posted twice a week for everyone going through a Feb cycle which makes it really easy to update how your cycle is going and to see how everyone else is doing too. You should join! Good luck to you!

    Welcome to the board!  Like PP said, check out the February check-ins.  Did you mean your CD1 is next week, or are you starting injections next week?  And what sort of protocol are you on?  

    We start Lupron Saturday for our first IVF, but I'm not sure if that'll line up with you.

    Thanks Girls! I am expecting CD 1 early next week, and I think that is when I will be starting Lupron and I think bcp also...I will definitely check out the February check ins! I am doing Lupron, and then using Bravelle & Menopur for stim. Good luck to all of you!

    Hi there.  Good luck to you.  I am ahead of you, but new-ish too.  This is my first IVF cycle and just had my egg retrieval yesterday.  Keep me posted and let me know if you have any questions during your cycle...maybe I could help.  We were on the antagonist protocol.
