Good luck Angie! I'm praying for u and ur hubby! I can't wait to hear how everything goes....and btw I agree if people can't say anything positive then don't say anything at all! Plus the best advice I received from someone was..."everyones ivf experience is different so you can't go off of what someone else says!" AGREED! Just stay positive and enjoy the experience :-) My personal thought is GOD has a plan for all of us and what anyone else tells me about their opinion on what could happen doesn't matter cause it's not in their hands :-)

I started some meds and going in for ultrasound and labs Wednesday and then starting the rest of the (stem) meds Thursday then on r way! Can't wait..,,tentative retrieval date is July 2nd and Transfer either July 5th or 7th :-) Yay!

Good luck to us all!

Hi e/o I had to take a mental break. I went in for my pregnancy test on the 26 n was smacked dead in face with a big fat negative. I am devistated. I needed to get away from the world so I hit the beach for some r&r. Hope everyone is doing well n please don't let my situation effect your cycle. Good luck to u and keep me posted.

Angie, I am sorry to hear about the negative. That is very tough.

I wanted to pop in, I know I am late in the conversation, but I did IVF about 3 years ago due to male factor and female factor infertility. I was blessed with boy/girl twins after the first cycle, they are now 2.5 years old. I have two close friends who got pregnant after two cycles and have healthy babies.

I just wanted to wish everyone luck in your emotional journey!

Hi everyone! First off Angie I'm sorry to hear about the negative test. I know how that feels after ttc for 6 years and 4 of those years with fertility specialists! We finished our Ivf cycle and on Monday 16th I found out I am pregnant :) we are thrilled and find out in a couple weeks how many are in there since we transferred 2 embryos. Angie have faith and know that it will work...I heard that from others all the time and it's hard to listen but I just tried to stay positive and realize that its in GODS hands so I let go. Good luck to u and I hope for the best :)

Thank you we are so excited and can't wait to find out exactly how many are in there :-) I went to my lap band dr on Wednesday and he said to just do what I'm doing and unless I'm losing weight or not gaining properly then he doesn't need to take any Fluid out! So far so good :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
