Generic clomid costs $9 for five 50mg pills at the Walmart in my area. It's part of their cheap meds program and yes, you need a prescription for it.

Whoo hoo for a nice progesterone reading, good luck!!!!

I'm being picky and saying I'm not going to try with RE this month so I wouldn't have a baby right after Christmas. I also am having minor surgery on Monday to remove a Titanium bolt from my knee.

Thanks everyone for the hugs and notes!

hi, just checking in back from the IUI board. I ahve been everywhere.

has anyone heard of IVM? Instead of IVF? Has anyone's doctor discussed this as an alternative? Any success stories? I think it is pretty new.

After (5) IUI's (1) IVF and a recent cath tuboplasty to open my blocked fallopian tube, I have an appt with my Doc and DH to discuss new game plan.

Just looking into other options on the internet! Thanks in advance!

I went back to RE today, everything is good.I get to start meds tomorrow, new meds, a little nervous but so excited. I go back next Friday to see where we are at, and plan for IUI.Good luck everyone,sending lots of baby dust

**kbhlmh** · 03-27-2010, 06:00 AM

What does a polypectomy consist of?

It's an outpatient prodecure. They do a hysteroscopy (dilate the cervix and go in with a scope that way) and he'll remove the polyp and possibly do a mini D&C depending on what he sees.

Tasha - Sorry your IUI didn't work!

Back to lurk...

What meds will you be taking?

**mrssomuchmoore** · 03-27-2010, 06:23 PM

Peeking in really quick...

Congrats Helene on your awesome betas!!!

Due to a planned trip I can't do an April cycle, so it got moved to May.

I already have my meds....just waiting.

I've talked with a few doctors that do acupunture...I am leaning very heavily towards it.

Praying for BFPs for all the upcoming cycles and the ladies that are in the 2ww.

I know what you mean -- after the 2ww I am always so ready to know, whether it is good or bad news. I really hope you get great news tomorrow!!! KUP

**purple_avens** · 03-28-2010, 07:29 PM

Well ladies, my BETA test is tomorrow!! I’m nervous about it. Please send positive energy my way. If you’re religious, please say a prayer that this time, if we are pregnant, it will end with a healthy baby in our arms.

Thank you! I’ll let you know tomorrow as soon as I find out.

I will definitely say a prayer! I can't wait to hear how it goes.

I start Lupron tomorrow! I've been watching injection videos on youtube like crazy. I hope I do it right! Does anyone have any tips/suggestions?

**secaly** · 03-29-2010, 07:23 AM

mrssomuchmore - sorry you have to move your cycle girl... I will be cheering for you in May

A May baby is what it's going to be

purple - so how was your BETA

Hoping and praying for a BFP and healthy baby in 8 months

Clarisse - way to go on starting Lupron... can't wait to see how your cycle goes this time.

Helene

**srh38** · 03-29-2010, 07:57 AM

So far no hot flashes but am having headaches and am tired. Worth it though.

Yay for your first shot! I took mine on Saturday evening

Never heard of IVM, but please share with the rest of us if you learn more! We are all open to learn about anything that can help us make babies!

Sorry you had to push out a month, but I know you will go into the next cycle with everything you've got!

Can't wait to hear later that you got a BFP!! I am praying hard for that BFP and a healthy pregnancy that results in a beautiful & healthy LO!!

Sounds like you, Stacie & me are all on our way to our BFP's!!
Don't sweat the Lupron shots. They are small needles and you give yourself the shot subcutaneous in the stomach. If you pinch the skin & go straight in, you don't even feel it. They are a breeze. Don't stress yourself out!

Nothing for me. Injection sites are fine & no side effects. Still good to go!

AFM:
Started Lupron (agonist) Saturday evening. Take my last BCP on Wednesday and start Vivelle Dot patches (Estrogen) and Ganirelix (antagonist) next Monday! Tuesday next week is my Stim Day 1 exam (u/s & b/w). If everything looks good I start high dosage FSH meds (gonal-f) that day. This is the AACP (agonist-antagonist conversion protocol) with estrogen priming. Wish me lots of luck!!

**photogrl** · 03-29-2010, 09:58 AM

SO much going on in here!

Good luck to everyone cycling....

for ALL of you!

I have a suggestion... you can lay down and pull your belly skin to the side with your left hand, then lay the needle down sideways so that when you let the skin go, it goes right into the needle. An acupuncturist showed me this technique and it def is less painful. Good luck!

Yeah! BFPs here we come! I start my patches this coming Friday. Where are you going to put yours? I haven't decided the best place for them yet!

I have a suggestion... you can lay down and pull your belly skin to the side with your left hand, then lay the needle down sideways so that when you let the skin go, it goes right into the needle. An acupuncturist showed me this technique and it def is less painful. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to practice on oranges tonight too, since this will be the first shot I have ever given to myself or otherwise! Someone also recommended alcohol wipes with an analgesic in them.

I haven't received instructions on where to put the patches yet, but I will go online (Freedom Fertility) or email the IVF nurse to see what is most recommended. I think I've heard mention of the stomach, but that doesn't seem possible since I have lots of shots going into the stomach for weeks. Either way, I'm just glad to be getting started!
