Approved for IVF#2

Mrs.McIrishMrs.McIrish member
in TTC after 35

My insurance company finally approved me for IVF#2. I am just emotionally spent as it didn't look good there for a few days since they weren't issuing a decision. I feel crampy so I think AF is going to arrive any day this week so the approval is coming just in time. 

TTC #1 since 8/1/10; Me:41 and BRCA1+, DH:46
DOR (FSH 24.3)/ terrible egg quality ; homozygous MTHFR c677t
5 IUI's: 2/11 to 6/11 and 1/12= BFN
OE IVF#1-4 8/11-6/12= all BFN
DE IVF#1 11/12 bad embryos= BFN
DE IVF #2 2/13 BFP/Beta hell: m/c 5w6d
CFNBC 7 months, not doing well; decided on guarantee program at RBA w/frozen DE
DE IVF #3 1/14  ET 4BB; BFP;M/C 5w1d, incomplete m/c; MVA extraction in ER 7w1d

DE FET#1 ET 3/1714; BFP, beta 1 3/27= 197, beta 2 3/31= 1586, beta 3 4/7= 13879!!
First u/s= Twins with HBs at 6w2d! We are Team Pink x 2!!

    There will be a few days of BCPs. I haven't seen the calendar but that's what the RE said last week. I will call the nurse in the morning to ask for the specific calendar. The last time I wasn't given the calendar until I went to an injection class. I assume I don't have to sit through another class...

    EPP with HGH, steroids, Q-10, DHEA and Accupuncture.  I had good luck with micro-dose flare-I hope that you do too!!  I didn't have a million follicles-but I did have one perfect 8-cell embryo with no fragmentation after ER.  It's always better to have more than one.....but I've learned to take what I can and be grateful for the good ones.  Best of luck-will keep you posted on when I start stims-it will be with start of AF-likely late next week or early the following.  Was so happy that your insurance approved you, great to see even that + news on here.  Now....if you'd just get a BFP on a HPT, I'd walk around with a grin for a week.  Know that if you get a BFP, then I can too.  Best of luck!!!!!!
