Hi Ladies...

I was using the name Mayzie15 but now the bump isn't letting me use it and I've had to create a new name :(  My name stayed the same on the knot/nest but not the bump - if anyone knows how to fix this - please let me know.  I'm hoping this name will have as much luck as the last one did.  My little boy is 3 months and being 38 my RE is saying he would like to see me in the next month or so to start preparations for IVF and I have mixed emotions.  I want my son to have "his time" but I also want to have another child and a sibling for him.  We are currently TTCing on our own but we know with MH's severe MFI and my age that's it's a very long shot.  I've had my tests run again - what a difference a year makes - my Estradiol & FSH levels are now in the higher range the only thing I have left to do is my ultrasound to find out my AFC - hoping it will be good news.  Anyway - all my history is listed in my signature and I've always considered this board "my home" board - so here I am :)  I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and catching up with some familiar faces.

 

ETA: I'm not sure why my siggy isn't showing up I have added it - are others having trouble getting their signature to show up?  I'm definitely having a time of this - lost my original name and now the signature too.  I have posted below my signature since others can't see it - hope it shows up soon.

ME-38, MH-40 DX with severe MFI. TTC since June 2010. IVF #1 BFN.  IVF #2 has given me my beautiful baby boy - Aiden born 08/20/2013. TTCing on our own and contemplating when to begin IVF treatments again for baby #2.

Me 38, MH 40 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI.  Straight to IVF with ICSI.  IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation.  Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF.  Second Opinion from RE is good.  IVF#2 - November 2012. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature.  4 fertilized with ICSI.  ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos.  Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!!  First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac.  2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183  02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!!! IVF #2 has given me my beautiful baby boy - Aiden born 08/20/2013. IVF cycle coming up for baby #2 - in May 2014.  ER - 05/12/14 - Retrieved 11 eggs and 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET - 05/15/14 - transferred 3 beautiful embryos and praying for a cycle like we had with my son.  Hoping for some frosties from this cycle and we will know 05/17/14 if they made it to freeze.  Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14 (Memorial Day) - will probably go to the lab on 05/27/14.

    welcome.
    just wondering if you are try to update your siggy the old way or the new.  Now you have to click on the little head in the upper right corner.  If i were you i would enter "siggy help" or something along those lines in the search box.  I know @MrsDeo had a lot of helpful posts when the updates came about.  So if you see an old post by her follow her directions and that should help.  

    As far as you worrying about when it is right to start trying again so your LO has time with you, just remember you will be pregnant for 9 months plus the time it will take you to cycle.  So that will put your son over a year old and they arent as dependent on us at that point.  If you are ready to start trying again I say go for it.

    Hey Mayzie! Nice to see, TB gets really weird sometimes. I wouldn't worry about infringing on your lo "time" by having a 2nd, because that 2nd lo will never have that "one on one" time you had with your first one.

    I wish you fast and easy success!!!

    Hi Mayzie!  Welcome back!  I agree that McIrish has good advice (as always), especially if your numbers have gotten significantly worse.  Good luck and congrats on the little one!

    PS:  My sister and I are less than a year apart (360 days!) and while it was hard on my mom in the beginning, we are best friends and were close enough to entertain each other as children.

    I was able to figure out the signature thanks to a few of the ladies here - but can't figure out how to bring the TurkeyBaster  image back - since you have the same image can you take a look at my "computer language" and see what I'm missing - I would really appreciate it :)

    Hi Mayzie!  Welcome back!  I agree that McIrish has good advice (as always), especially if your numbers have gotten significantly worse.  Good luck and congrats on the little one!

    PS:  My sister and I are less than a year apart (360 days!) and while it was hard on my mom in the beginning, we are best friends and were close enough to entertain each other as children.

    Good to "see" you again Owlprof and thank you for your positive spin on being so close in age - it's nice to hear this prospective :)

    I was able to figure out the signature thanks to a few of the ladies here - but can't figure out how to bring the TurkeyBaster  image back - since you have the same image can you take a look at my "computer language" and see what I'm missing - I would really appreciate it :)
