My dh and I did 6 rounds of ivf to conceive our daughter and we are thinking of doing ivf again in the near future for baby #2. I used pretty much every drug over the course of our ivf journey. Any questions about specific ones? As far as tips and tricks...make yourself a calendar to track meds, use pill cases or use a sharpie to mark the date on your meds to take them so you don't miss any, don't ice injection sites because you'll just bruise more, suck up to secretaries and nurses at your clinic...you'll get better appt slots and faster phone calls and you'll be talking to them A LOT, keep living your life and don't let ivf consume you...do fun things with your partner and friends.

Thank you. Much appreciated. What we're all the meds you had to do?

I haven't been through IVF (yet) but if our 3rd IUI on Monday 6/6 isn't successful it is our next step so I have been researching it as well. I have enjoyed following a blog called "Conceivable Notions" - check it out! Best of luck and tons of baby dust to you!

I've done 3 iui's with Injectables and 5 months clomid prior and 3 Injectables with times intercourse.

Ummm...let's see...lupron, doxycycline, gonal f, follistim, ganirellix, menopur, estradiol pills, delestrogen, vivelle, endometrin, crinone, progesterone in oil, baby aspirin, lovenox, heparin, prednisolone, ovidrel, novarel, pregnyl. I think that's it? Lol

Well I guess I should be prepared as much as I can and not stress.
