Okay, it's confirmed ... we have a reservation at Milestones Crossroads (Broadway and Cambie) at 6pm on Saturday, May 29th!
I've reserved for 8 people - if anything changes and you can't make it, let me know and I'll adjust the numbers with them the day before. And if anyone else would like to join us, same thing, you're still welcome, just let me know before next Friday!
And BTW, the reservation is under 'Sandra', my real name, not 'Impatient'. LOL

Thanks so much for organizing this Sandra. I hadn't thought of the name for the reservation until you pointed it out -it would be funny if we all showed up asking for the "Impatient" table. Although our food would be served without a long wait! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hi MVic604,
I'm always up for meeting people from ivf.ca. Unfortunately, I'm starting my next IVF any day now (in Victoria) so I have no idea what my schedule is going to be like over the next few weeks.
But if you feel like grabbing a coffee, just PM me and we can figure something out. I live in Vancouver (and I've got a car.)

Jennflower -This is an old post. The meet up was May 29, 2010. I would suggest starting a new thread if you'd like to get a group of Vancouverites together.
Unexplained IF/ DOR. Began TTC in 2008.
After a wild and crazy ride on the treatment train, our baby GIRL arrived on Jan 6, 2012
Hold on.... Surprise spontaneous just 7 months postpartum while still breastfeeding!!! Baby boy born May 2, 2013
My heart couldn't be more full
Full details are now in my profile "About Me" page

ooh I'm IN!
I swear for all the resources and info I've found online I have yet to come across ANY physical get togethers for mom's trying or moms-to-be. What gives, BC?
Heads up to all, I did IVF in January and I've got a 10 week belly full o' twins to prove it : )
Would love to swap stories and feel/receive some love from other grrls who deserve the best and want to talk about the process.
To confirm: we are meeting 6pm @ Milestones (Crossroads @ Cambie/Broadway)on May 29th,2011 ?!
liviewell- if you're in Surrey, I'm coming fr. Fort Langley and can pick you up enroute!
Hi Jennflower - Congrats on the twins! My twins are 3 months old. I'd love to have another meet up. I'm in Port Moody and need to stay close to home, but we could meet up for a stroll ( The boys need to be in motion at all times now! You'll see
Let's set a date. Anyone is welcome.

HI Alanna,
Sounds great! I have yet to actually meet face to face with any pregnant women, and talk, gripe, giggle etc, but hey- you're already on the other side, and I'd LOVE to meet you and the boys : )
How's the 26th or 27th of April looking for you?
This one goes out to all the other mamas-to-be or freshly minted mama's... Port Moody, a walk and a cuppa would do me wonders, anyone else up for it?

Starbucks
Rocky Point Park
What time works for you?
