Hi everyone

I'm new to BB and I'm joined up to the forums two nights ago - feeling a bit shy as I raced in because I wasn't feeling great (just started my first ever IVF cycle) and blah-ed myself in the LTTTC & AC forum without introductions! Oops! I've been encouraged by Sushee and slyder and many others after introductions yesterday to come over to the LTTTC & AC thread and introduce myself here - thank you to everyone who has given me such an amazing welcome - I feel so supported and much better already after just one day!!

As to some info re: me - I came to BB after trying to search on the internet for side effects of Synarel - I started my first down-reg stim cycle on Oct 16 and started Synarel on the Oct 30. I've been pretty worried about how all the drugs were going to effect me, in particular my moods. I've received heaps of support and advice already from lots of people (thank you thank you!!) and now I feel calmer about just taking things one day at a time and seeing what happens with the drugs.

I really love the idea of writing all my thoughts and the process down and have received so much information and much more of an understanding and so much respect (HUGE respect)for everyone going through the IVF process here now, just through reading people's journals here. Even just being here and writing in the forums has relieved much of my anxiety so much.. so I'm planning to start a journal soon

I hope everyone is doing ok for today, and I'm looking forward to getting to know people being someone here who can offer support in the same way that people have been offering me support too

Thanks guys (I can't decide if the drugs or being here is making me teary now or not! )

Miss C
