Happy about AF?

Today marked a first for me: the very first time, ever, that I was happy to see dear ol' AF. I had actually been waiting for a few days, hoping it would come around. I had heard about other people having this kind of a feeling and never truly understood how you could be happy about AF when TTC.

Now I know.

There was even more of a 0% chance of any miracle conception this cycle, thanks to Lupron. Now I can call to make the first monitoring appointment, and hopefully start Follistim in a few days. Now I can move on to the next step. Now I am just a little bit closer to this IVF being over. And now, I am one step closer to being pregnant.

AF is here! What should I do to celebrate???

Found you though comments on Mel's blog. We found out we had Male Factor about 3 years ago (Secondary Infertile); went through IVF/ICSI for 2 cycles. Second cycle worked, and I am looking at my 1 year old daughter right now.

I am wishing you the best of luck!!

I totally know what you mean! I was so excited to FINALLY see AF a week ago b/c that meant I could schedule my day 3 u/s and b/w with the RE. Another week down...you're getting close!

I'm with you! Mine came a little more that a week ago, and it was definitely the first time in a long time that I was happy to see it!
