ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11.
2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do
"shared" program.
Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months.
Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
I totally know what you mean. I work at a family-oriented educational/tourist attraction... nothing but small children and pregnant women all day. Sometimes it is all I can do to plaster a smile on my face and keep it together until I have a moment to myself to dab the tears from my eyes. Then I put the smile back on and go back to work. So sorry you had a rough experience!

I too hate that! It's almost like the man upstairs wants to torture me. How about the same day AF shows up & u c one of those hpt commercials, or u go somewhere and a pg woman is within arms reach of u. Stuff like that happens to me all the time. I hate getting invites to baby showers (secretly I'm soooo jealous), but if I do go I try to be mature about it
Re: So today at Hobby Lobby...
On another note, it's so exciting that you've made the decision to move forward with DE IVF. I really hope you find success with that!
