Crossing over

Hello ladies.... I've been posting (and still will) on the IF board since June.  I stalked the boards for over a year before posting.  I felt I needed more support then my family (which is great) and my fertile friends could give me.  In the 6 months I've been posting there, I hope I have been supportive to the women who find themselves on this rough journey.  In those 6 months so many new faces have come and gone.  I'm happy for those who are lucky enough to only be here for a short time, but feel I need the support of women who have been on this journey for some time and really know & understand the heartbreak of numerous failed cycles and losses.  I have responded to posts on this board, just haven't started one.  I hope you will have me.  My history is in my siggy.

5 IUI's: 2/11 to 6/11 and 1/12= BFN
OE IVF#1-4 8/11-6/12= all BFN
DE IVF#5 11/12 bad embryos= BFFN
FINAL DE IVF #6 1/13: cancelled as second donor backed out during stims
Was added last minute as 3rd recipient to new donor on 1/18; ET1/23/13

Hi ladies... thanks for the kind words and warm welcome.  I will be starting the patch on CD 21 (today is CD2)  with stims starting mid January with a retrieval, if all goes as planned, by end of January.  If this cycle doesn't work, we will move on to donor eggs. 

Mrs., how are things going with you?  I know you have your donor all lined up.  When will all that take place?

I'm still waiting for the donor to get her AF.. any day.. My best guess is her ER won't be until end of January.
