Hi Christine, welcome to BB! I've been through 2 IVF cycles and it is really great to have cycle buddies - you're in luck, there a heap of lovely ladies on cycles right now. I was like you, once speaking to my RE I didn't bother with IUI either (my rationale was that if you are going to be injecting, having bloods and ultrasounds, and there is a possibility of cycle cancellation due to over-response, then why not go straight to IVF where the odds are much better anyway).

My first cycle I had Lupron (down-regging) and the AF I had from that was a bit heavier than normal, but really nothing to worry about. I hope you don't experience anything horrid either.
