Yay! Yay! Yay! I am so excited for you! Let us know how it goes and post pictures as soon as you can of the little one. What a great day that's been a long time coming.
Eviction time!!! I'm sorry you're having to be induced, but am soooo excited that squirmy is finally coming. Can't wait to hear your birth story and "meet" the new member. Best of luck and hope you have a great story to share!
I'm 38, married 8 years to a wonderful DH (43), and TTCd for nearly 4 years. We finally had our daughter after 2 rounds of IVF. No luck so far with #2.

Day12 Retrieved 16, 14 mature, 13 fertilized, 11 day3, 6 blasts on day5. Transferred 2, froze 4. Beta 955 July 2nd (20dpo). Beta 3900 24dpo. U/S at 7wks showed 6wk5d baby with FHR 127. NT scan - looking good, NT only 0.7mm. 18.5 week scan - it's a girl, and all looks good! Born Mar 16th, 11d overdue, after months of fearing true preterm labour due to crazy-frequent tightenings.
2000ish - condom broke twice in 1 week with the man who would become my DH 5 years later. Got the morning after pill the first time, was told a urine preg test was negative the next time (at all of about 8dpo, now that I think about it), so I shouldn't worry about it. After all we've been through now, I guess that's about right!
Jun 2005 - get married
Aug 2005 - DH moves to Canada. Off birth control.
Nov 2005 - start charting - pretty decent timing, long irregular cycles with tons of spotting, no BFP.
Oct 2006 - start metformin via my family doctor, get referred to an endocrinologist who does Creighton method infertility treatment.
Nov 2006 - Feb 2007 - progesterone LP supplementation, which is supposed to spur my hypothalamus and pituitary into working right for a change.
Apr-May 2007 - luteal HCG (as both estradiol and progesterone are low for me).
Jun-Oct 2007 - clomid in varying doses with luteal HCG. Timed intercourse. Cervical mucus dries up.
Nov 2007 - Letrazole + luteal HCG + timed intercourse while on vacation --> BFP when spotting/bleeding stopped at 17dpo. Great doubling initially, then slowed. Progesterone support. Heartbeat seen x2, then lost it when spotting started at 8.5wks. Natural M/C.
Apr-May 2008 - Letrazole + luteal HCG/estradiol/progesterone. Spotting mostly gone.
Jun 2008 - Letrazole. Anovulatory, induce AF with provera.
Jul 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + luteal progesterone + timed intercourse. One follicle.
Aug 2008 - natural with luteal estradiol + progesterone
Sep 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + luteal progesterone/estradiol + IUIx2 --> 2 follicles --> BFP 37 at 14dpo. Spotted/bled constantly untill loss at 5wks.
Nov 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + progesterone. Timed intercourse while on vacation.
Dec 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + progesterone. 4 follicles developed - BFN.
Jan 2009 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + progesterone + IUI. Ended up with 6 follicles and worried talk from RE about higher-order multiples and selective reduction if we went ahead. Crap sperm --> BFN.
Feb 2009 - break cycle waiting for IVF consult - long, anovulatory, and took me through the IVF consult and directly onto BCP for IVF in April.
April 2009 - IVF #1 Gonal-F 187.5IU CD6-?, Orgalutran CD?-?, Trigger, 5d transfer. Day1 stims E2 62, >30 antrals. Day 4 stims E2 263. Rollercoaster E2 ride, which never got high enough to reflect the number of developing follicles. Canceled.

Day 10 E2 8500, 18 >10mm, 12 mature size, 6-7 ideal size at 18-21mm. Trigger with ovidrel. E2 13000 day after trigger. 16 retrieved, 14 mature, 13 fertilized. 11 from 2-5+ cells on day2, 11 from 6-9+ cells on day3, 6 blasts on day5 (2 transferred, 4 frozen), and the remaining 4 day5 morulas then arrested by day6.
