Hello, 

Would it be alright if I joined your board? I wasn't sure when would be an acceptable time to participate and I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

I just received my IVF calendar on Monday and will begin taking my stim meds on October 12th with a planned retrival the week of October 25th.

Thank you for reading this and my apologies if I have gone about this wrong.

    Thank you everyone.

    I wasn't sure which thread I should fall into on this board. 

    I consider myself lucky to be here because it's actually happening! After 7 years of trying, 3 failed IUIs and a year of financial scrambling, I'm allowing myself to be excited. :)

    Welcome. Sounds like you certainly belong here, however unfortunate that may be. I have found this community SO helpful and supportive, so although it sucks to be here, it is a great group of women. 

    I had my very first IVF cycle in August, and am waiting to transfer (FET) in October. It'll be a big month for us both!
