Hi Claire,

I am also from Nowra and have just started my first IVF cycle. I started my provera on the 2/9 and just finished my last one today. I am taking Lucrin instead of Synarel but I also had to get that ordered in, it took about 3 days to arrive. I got it through priceline and it was actually cheaper there than they sell it in Wollongong, $207 instead of $215. Not much but every little dollar counts at the moment!

Are you doing your IVF through the SIVF in Wollongong? I am through Dr James. The girls there are great and we have been made to feel very welcome, I have already had to ring them several times to make sure I was doing the right thing! I had my first blood test on Thursday and Thursday night I started the Lucrin which is by injections. I was a bit scared about it at first but I found it didn't hurt at all. So now I wait until my next blood test and my periods before I start the puregon injections and then looking to do egg pickup around the 27th or 28th of September. I am very scared and very excited at the same time.

I wish you the best of luck

Jane
