Starting IVF
Started estrace last week. Began Follistem and Low-Dose this Monday. Been in for morning monitoring a few times already. When I was there on Thursday morning, I was told that my follicles are still "sort of small". I am hoping that when I go back tomorrow (Sat) morning, this will have changed. I was really super nervous about the injections but my hubby is doing them for me and so far, I'm dealing with it. Now, I am starting to get worried - what if it doesn't work? What if we don't make it to retrieval? And if we do, what if we are not lucky? Ugh! Soooo much to think about/worry about! Hopefully it'll all be worth it in the long run. When I am prepping for injections every night, I picture myself holding a baby and that makes it all seem worth while! I am so thankful for all of the support and advice I've gotten on here so far and look forward being able to chat with you all throughout this crazy process! Baby dust and lots of luck to all of you!!!

Hi Sara - Hanging in there, thanks for asking. Been having what I fear may be "PMS-type" symptoms (guess it could be the progesterone, could be something else but...who knows). Kind of bumming me out. But, trying to stay positive. The waiting is soooo hard. Will have BW on Saturday.
How are things going for you?

Oh Msquared I hope your prayers are answered
I am looking for b/w sunday tobe able to possible trigger sunday night to almost my complete 1st round of IVF
YEs the wait and worry is awful thought I may have been cancelled earlier in the week but all went good today
fingers crossed one more week of staying good
1st I have to wish for a completed cycle
then I would like lots of eggs retrieved
3rd is lots to fertilze and freeze
then a successful pregnancy tobe an early Christmas gift
Now after almost 5years of ttc is that too much to ask for ???
babydust to you I wish you all the best

Babydust - I totally agree with you...there's worry every step of the way! It's really terrible what we have to go through! I am already worried that if I AM (hopefully, hopefully, hopefully!) pg, that I will be a mess worrying about STAYING pg. That is a whole other round of worrying! Oh well - guess we have to take it all one step at a time, you are right. Right now, you have to focus on staying positive and healthy as you move through your IVF cycle. I look forward to hearing all about it! Best of luck!
Star - lol - I just wrote back to you on other board saying that very same thing...that I am having a hard time falling asleep. Thanks for checking in. I really appreciate it! Hope all's going well with you, girl!
