Hi all! I'm new to the community and am hoping that there are some ladies that are gearing up for IVF in October. My husband and I have been TTC for 2 1/2 years. We have had 6 failed IUIs and just last week found out that our first round of IVF - a FET with a PDG-tested embryo - did not work. We are heartbroken, but are trying to stay optimistic. I'm waiting on the dreaded AF right now... but plan to try a fresh cycle next month. Just wondering if there are other ladies out there gearing up for an October IVF. I would love some cycle buddies to help keep me positive and / or sane!
Re: October IVF
I'm currently on my first round of IVF, after 3 failed IUIs. I am finishing up my BC on the 20th, I start the estrace pill for a few days and then begin injections on the 25th. Retrieval is estimated for oct 3rd.
I'm very nervous too, but talking to the ladies in these groups, helps me a ton!!
Best of luck to you both! Keep posting your progress!

Pmakrillos, I found myself looking forward to my injections. Just that feeling of one step closer kept me excited. They really aren't that bad. Good luck with your first ones!
