Hi ladies, Dh and I are in the process of going through out first IVF. I have my basline sono and bloodwork and Friday and hopefully we'll be able to start stims that night. My RE said is all looks good we should be looking for a retrival around the 16th. We've been through such a rollercoaster so far as far as ttc. I started getting really nervous yesterday, I just want everything to work out. For anyone who has been through this how often did you go see the doctor in between the start of your stims and retrival? I have a link in my siggy for my blog...check it out!!!

For anyone who has been through this how often did you go see the doctor in between the start of your stims and retrival? QUOTE]

Good Luck with everything. At the start of the stim meds I went to the office once a week. The closer I got to my ER they had my coming in about every other day to monitor the size of the follicles.

I think this is great advice, when my fresh cycle failed I wish a little angel could have whispered in my head 'dont be sad, you will be pregnant in 2 months'. You never know when its going to be your month and the feeling it will never work enters all our heads. congrats!
