This is FET #4 (Ugh... I just cringed typing that) for us. GL ladies!!
It's twin girls!! Born on 11-2-14!
I'll be doing IVF #2 w/ ICSI. Ready to get going!
Hi - doing IVF#2. Tomorrow is last day of BCP's and I started Lupron on 2/8. My stims are scheduled to start on 2/21. I know it says that check-in's don't start until 2/24, but what about everyone who has already started their cycle (or will start before 2/24)? I thought check-in's usually started earlier, but it doesn't matter to me - just a question!
Good luck to everyone and thank you to the check-in leaders!!

TTC since 9/2011. DH - 32, me 32.

Hello Ladies!! I am not sure if I belong here or not. My FET #2 will be on March 3rd. So if the group actually starts on the 24th of Feb It would only be relevant for a week for me, but I will be happy to provide support to the rest as the month goes. So I am not sure if I belong in the Feb group or the March one. If anyone has some light they would like to shed on this, it would be appreciated...
