I didn't see a thread for those doing stims in September and transfer/retrieval in October. Is there anyone else doing in this month? I started stims yesterday, and my expected retrieval is October 1, transfer on the 4.

Christin, yay!!! I thought I was going to be alone this cycle, but we're almost on the same cycle. I'll be right ahead of you and rooting for you the whole time!! Let's keep each other updated on this thread - if you want.

I started Gonal F last night. I'm not sure if it is a s/e, because I purposefully didn't read the s/e list because once I read it, I will get every s/e

But, last night I had horrible hot flashes and had a really hard time sleeping. Today, I'm fine. I have my first b/w on Tuesday, the morning after my 3rd injection.

I'm so excited we can do this together!

I thought i was going to be the one and only for this cycle as well!!

It probably is from the Gonal F, or if you are lupron it could be that. Im on lupron right now and i get awful hot flashes and headaches.

Im so excited to have someone be my cycle buddy!!!

I just want to wish both of you good luck with this cycle. I'm in the October/November cycle now since this last one was a bust. I'm just checking on you guys because I don't want to miss both of your BFP'S!!!! I'll be keeping tabs on you!

I had my first b/w yesterday after three nights of injections. e2 was 115. I go in for my second b/w and first u/s tomorrow. So far, I have had minimal side effects since the first couple of days. I do feel pretty bloated though, and I had to take my wedding ring off because my fingers seemed kind of bloated too. But, so far, this is easier than expected!
