  • Jalara - it helps make it real to tell people. Always interesting to see how people react to the "using a gestational carrier" thing. I haven't shared that we have used a DE with many yet. One step at a time.
  • Good luck tomorrow @2MamazInSeattle‌!

  • Hello,

    I read through all of your updates, but have a hard time responding to each of them.  Know that I'm thinking of each of you. 

    Update:  My baseline is tomorrow and I should be starting delestrogen tomorrow evening. 

    QOTW:  I remember laughing until I cried, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was about! 

    I hope you all have a great week!

  • Hi everyone.  Hugs to everyone who needs them!  Congrats and good luck to others!  I got a call from Dr. Duffy himself today about the results of our EFT.  I knew already that they were not able to run the test because they only billed my account $50 instead of the full $595.  The sample wasn't large enough.  I'm devastated....but the worst part is that not only were they not able to run the whole test but the portion they did examine showed immature endometrial cells.  So even if we transfer, the embryo won't implant.  Dr. Duffy has a call into Dr. Kliman to discuss what we can do to try to develop my lining but that means I will have to go through another protocol and do the biopsy all over again.  I just don't know how much more we can afford at this point.  It was about 2 grand for us to get down there this last time and the sample sucked and was horribly painful.  I don't know what we will do from here :(

    QOTW:  A few weeks ago, my coworkers and I went out for dinner and drinks after work and we laughed until we cried.  It's been a long time since I had laughed that hard and it was great!

  • Check-In: Baby is due on Monday! My Surro/niece has decided to come and live with us up until she gives birth, so that when she goes into labour, we'll be there straight away. We've finally picked her first name after about two months on going between two options. She'll be Saga Karina. In other news, my girls are all back at school, and they are all loving it. And I'm now on maternity leave.

    QOTW: I can't actually remember the last time I laughed till I cried. I have to say its not something I do very often.

  • @Love4Labs326‌ - I am so so sorry there wasn't enough sample to process and immature cells were seen. As someone who went through the process, I can't even imagine how hard this must be. It's so much to go through and I agree, the biopsy was really painful. I'm sorry you have to travel for it too. Keep me posted. I wish I could help, I feel terrible that this happened to you.

    Me (32) DOR, elevated NK Cells/ 2 copies of MTHFR mutation/ MH (35) azoo/high DFI   (TTC#1 since 2009)

    IVFs#1-4: (4/10-2/12) all BFN

    Surprise Bfp (9/11) - c/p

    DS IUI#1-2 (9/12, 10/12) - BFN

    DS IVF: (11/12) - BFN

    DE/DS IVF#1: (10/13) - 2 day 3 embies transferred-BFFN

    FET of 2 day 6 blasts: (12/13) - c/p

    DE/DS IVF #2: (4/14) - 1 day 5 blast transferred...BFFN...again.

    FET 5/14: 1 day 5 hatching blast transferred...another BFFN

    Repeat SHG 6/14-normal / Endometrial Receptivity Array biopsy 7/14-Receptive Uterus

    New RE, additional testing reveals elevated NK Cells
