Starting first IVF cycle
15
Tue, 08-21-2007 - 2:27pm

Hi all! Hope everyone is having a good summer. Just wanted to post an update- I start my IVF cycle tomorrow & go on the bc pills. The nurse said that the egg retrieval will be in the beginning of Oct. I am nervous yet hopeful. It will be hard to quit having caffiene (I am so not a morning person,) but hopefully it will be worth it.

Good luck Marisa! I hope your first IVF results in a sticky BFP.

I am in the same boat. I am starting my IVF cycle beginning CD2 (no BCP's for me), which should be Aug 30 or so, so my retrieval should be Sept 10th-13th, depending on how fast I stim.

I switched to green tea a couple years ago and my RE says I can still have a little, which is great so I won't get the caffiene headaches. The rest will be decaf. It will be hard, that and giving up wine, but so worth it for a baby!

Hi, sounds like we are just about on the same timing. I am starting my bc nxt week as soon as AF gets here. Going to do my first IVF also in Oct. Our issue is low sperm count so we going to also do ICSI. I am sooooo nervous about everything! My Dr hasnt mentioned cutting out caffiene yet, I am def going to ask about that. Are you doing acupuncture? I am starting that next week, I've heard it can help relax you. Good luck!
