MissC, I'll have a blood test to see if I can start stims on the 12th. Last cycle, they had me start the following day for some weird reason, so it will be either the 12th or 13th for me.

As for staying sane... I've got a key group of friends that get to hear about IVF stuff, some at work, some at church, basically everywhere I go, I know there'll be someone I can talk to if I need to. The others may know we're doing it, but not the details of what is happening when. I try to keep it all on BB most days, but if I'm having a bad day with side effects or whatever, then I'll talk about it a bit more openly. As for on BB - you'll see some pretty lame attempts at making jokes from me... I'll apologise in advance for them. Usually, I find it's simply enough to know that there are people (nearly typed women!) here that understand what's going on.

Today's my first pill-free night! So excited about that!
