Good luck with IVF. I'm glad that you are making progress. The

rates of success for IVF are so good; you and dh must be very excited

after the long road you have been down. I'm in the middle of my 2ww

and although I really, really, really hope that I don't have to think

about my next step (injectables or IVF), I know that I should try to

make that decision now in case AF shows up next week. I had a

consultation with a different RE that many of my friends have gone

to - all 3 were successful getting pg on the first IVF try (2

singletons and one set of twins) and he said that he would let us

decide whether we went with IVF or inj. It's a hard decision. The

RE that I normally go to is farther away and I will meet with him

later this week to talk about my next steps if this cycle is not

successful. Then if I'm not pg, I need to decide which dr to see and

what protocol to follow. So....I may be a buddy for you through all

of this. I would start Lupron the week after next if we go for IVF.

Which chat site are you going to to learn about IVF. I still hope

you update us here - I learn a lot by the decisions that other women

are making.

Good luck!
