Lisa V.:
Thanks so much for the wonderful stories. I was over joyed with some of the stories it brough tears of joy to my eyes. I had no idea how many people are going through what I am going through. I am about to go through my first round of IVF ICSI in about 10 days and am very nervous. I can't help think about the expense we are putting ourself through but my husband says not to worry about the money. He's an angel. I hope to write with good news soon. Thank you all!

What an incredibly comforting resource to have during those anxious/hopeful/waiting times. I have cried with happiness at some of the success stories and feel so hopeful for everyone contributing to this site and making it so beneficial to everyone.God bless.

veronica:
Thanks Brenda for a wonderful groupI have just been cancelled and am awaiting my next tryA million thanksYou have helped me more than words can say
Gillian:
Just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful support I felt from reading the stories and bulletin boards. I have just gone through IVF ICSI and would not have been able to face it as well as I did without finding this site.....It was nice to know that other people were going through the same thing with the same fears and concerns - family and friends just do not understand what we are going through.Thanks for a great site!
Brian:
I appreciate the effort that was made to create this website. My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 5 years. We have just completed our first IVF cycle with discouraging results. I hope to remain in touch with you all.
Michelle:
So glad I found this site .... after 10 IUI cycles (5 with injectible meds) we are going to look into IVF. It really scares me ... especially all the drugs to shut down then start up then super stimulate. Still saying prayers that I would have to actually go through the IVF cycle but I've found a lot of great info here if I do. Thanks.

Dear Brenda,You cannot imagine how such site could improve the morale of a person suffering from an infertility problem. I don't think words could express the feelings.I just would like to say .... thank you.
Olive:
Hi Brenda,Just wanted to say how fantastic I think this site is! Myself and my dh have just begun out fertility journey and it is so great to know that there are people like you out there who care and want to help support others. I was wondering where to go to get some support as I begin probably the toughest thing I (we) will ever have to go through, but I was thrilled when I found your site and all of the people on it who care. I told my infertility support group about you and told everyone to get on your site. Thanks again, you are an angel!Olive
Marisa:
Thank you Brenda for the wonderful Canadian Content site. It helps to read the stories of other couples that are experiencing the same problems that we are having.I've just had a m/c at 6 weeks resulting from my first FET. I didn't want to get excited about the PG because of the emotional fall experienced from our 1st IVF fresh cycle when the results were negative. It's been difficult this time, but, I keep thinking that this PG was the most success I've had in 4 years of trying and perhaps next time (about 3 months from now) things will turn out better.Thank again, Marisa
Karen:
Just wanted to express my gratitude for Canadian content and obvious support. I'm just starting my 2nd IUI cycle with Synarel suppression and this site has been amazing. Keep up the good work, many are benefiting I'm sure!!!!

Thank you Brenda. Found your site through the new Toronto General Hospital Infertility Clinic web site. I almost cried a few times reading the inspirational stories.

Sharon in Germany:
Thanks so much for this site! I get a lot of information elsewhere, but none so close to home. Finally, others who know what it is like trying to "communicate" with your ovaries! And what it feels like when they say "Sorry, not this time". I wish you lots of energy and joyful moments to continue this resource for all of us!

No signs yet, other than I seem to be having irritation/tenderness around the nipple..you know those "bumps" around the nimple..they are sore and raised..what do you think ? could this be the work of the Crinone gel...or PG???....I also have a small rash at the neck site..raised..red...etc..this happened the last time I got pG..started wheen I took the meds...I am wondering if it's not a reaction to the meds???this happened before retreial.. I know you are not a DR(smile), but any feed back would be great. Also what do you thnik my % of getting PG with 7 eggs???I have a long history..I'll share later..again thanks for being a wonderful"host"..good luck! Love Jean
