IVF in March...need support!


Hi Everyone...I haven't used this site a whole lot, but I have read some of the threads and think it might be helpful for support as I'm going through this time in life.
My hubby and I have been TTC for about 1 1/2 years and have been going to the FS for about 7 months. Our main problem is very low sperm count, with low motility as well. I had 1 off FSH level, but secondary tests came back normal and all other tests of mine have come back normal, so I should be good to go. We tried 2 IUI cycles and both were unsuccessful, the sperm count for the first was 2 million, after 2 spin cycles and 1.1 million for the second, combining both a fresh and a frozen sample. So...yeah, really bad numbers. FS said it was not worth trying IUI anymore and highly reccommended moving to IVF. We started the cycle at the end of January with BC and I started Lupron, 10 units, on February 10th. I started my stims, Gonal F and Menopur, on February 24th. We are looking at EC on around March 7th.
Reality is starting to hit and I am starting to freak out just a bit so I would love some support from other women who are going through the same thing. My hubby and I have a bit of a different situation because we are limiting how many eggs we fertilize and freezing the remaining eggs as part of a study, and due to religious reasons. We don't want to have to freeze embryos if we don't have to.
We only plan on trying this once due to cost and we feel like if it doesn't work the first time, it probably isn't meant to be...so I am so nervous and scared!
Is anyone else on a similar cycle?
