January is a great IVF month, as it worked for me in January 2012!!</p> <p>I saw some of you mention acupuncture and wanted to chime in that I did this as well and while I'll never know if that is what helped the cycle work, I did have success so I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Plus, I loved how relaxing the acupuncture was and how it helped my mental state since IVF is so darn stressful. I did it for a month or two before and then the day before and after transfer. Let me know if you have questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1306257 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:53:46 +0000 OMM4 1306257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: I was doing acupuncture very regularly during my last cycle and did it right before and right after the transfer. I hope to keep up with it again as it really helped me feel relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1305407 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 00:07:49 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1305407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OMM4: where you doing acupuncture during your last IVF cycle or is this something you just started? I am doing it as well. Hoping it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1304886 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 17:39:20 +0000 kentuckygirl 1304886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OMM4: Best of luck on your FET!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1304781 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 16:20:05 +0000 OMM4 1304781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first IVF was in late October and it was unsuccessful, so we're planning a FET for late January/early February. Getting excited and nervous! I'm much more relaxed this time around, but I'm taking prenatals, avoiding caffeine, and trying to do semi-regular acupuncture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1304105 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 04:11:47 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1304105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: YAY It looks like I will be a month behind you, can't wait to see how everything goes for you!<br /> @twodoghouse: Thanks I will look for that thread:)<br /> @swedishfish: love hearing success stories, congrats on your baby!@SweetiePie: That is so soon!!!

Rooting for you big time!</p> <p>And your post reminded me, I'm taking prenatal in preparation too. Though at this point I've been taking them for a year so I didn't even think about it. Just part of the bedtime routine. </p> <p>Can't wait for all of us to start getting our IVF BFPs :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1303158 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 14:01:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1303158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: Happy to see you here and good luck to you and your husband in 2014! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1303043 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 12:55:36 +0000 macintosh 1303043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, welcome! I'm also starting IVF in January. My situation is a little different because I have a disabled husband. He's having a sperm extraction on the 9th. I've been waiting for this for so long but I feel like I'm just stressed right now rather than excited.</p> <p>We've got a lot going on between his physical therapy, the surgery, the insurance settlement, and trying to find a condo to buy. Plus I had a horrible tooth infection and I have to have my wisdom tooth removed tomorrow. I'm kind of freaked out about getting everything coordinated, ugh!</p> <p>I'm just continuing to take my prenatal vitamins and trying to cut back on caffeine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1303024 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 12:43:44 +0000 kentuckygirl 1303024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: @Shutterbug: @SweetiePie: I am soooo excited for you all!!! I did IVF in August and am now 17 weeks with a baby boy!!!!

Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. If this doesn't take I'm not sure what our next step is (our situation isn't typical). </p> <p>For pocketbook, we aren't doing much. We're just paying it in full and hoping for the best. It's expensive but we figure that if there's anything to spend without abandon on, this would be it! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1302919 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:41:09 +0000 swedishfish 1302919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!

I think there are a couple other ladies starting IVF in early 2014, according to the IVF thread that's floating around somewhere. You may want to check that thread out - lots of advice and success stories! Wishing you lots of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1302883 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:20:46 +0000 Shutterbug 1302883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meeee! I took my last birth control pill on Wednesday and now I'm waiting for AF. Then I'll start Gonal-F. I'm nervous and excited, and really hopeful for this cycle to work. Good to "meet" you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-starting-ivf-after-the-new-year#post-1302860 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:10:04 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1302860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Everyone! I am new here. Happy to find this site:) I am going to be starting the IVF process. We decided to wait a month so as soon as AF comes around again it's go time! (mid January)</p> <p>Who else is starting the IVF process? What are you doing to get your body, mind and pocket book ready?</p> <p>I am going to start my weekly acupuncture again, work on my dairy free diet, and look into financing and any discounts we can get for IVF. </p> <p>Looking forward to "meeting" more of you! </p>
