Hi ladies!!! :-) :-) :-)
So excited & shocked to be here! I'm going on 37 & did a SET through IVF w/ISCI & it took! Crazy! First beta was super low, 21, but it tripled and was 63 so I am owning this & intro-ing over here.
I finally figured out yesterday what my EDD is, 11/23/14. Because of an underling medical condition (blood sugar issues) I won't be allowed to go past 39 weeks. So that means that yesterday 8 months from now I'll be induced if haven't had the baby already! Wow! Totally getting ahead of myself here seeing as I've only had 2 betas but I have decided I am going to not spend this pregnancy terrified and stressed out about what is going to be the outcome. I am going to presume it is all going to work out and not stress at every turn that something else will go wrong. Or rather at least I am going to try really, really hard to stay positive if the truth be told!
I'm Irish so having a great day today, happy Paddy's day! :-)
Re: Intro! Furiously waving hello!!!!
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
