question for you ladies (warning, pics and ticker)

how do you guys feel about SAIF'ers replying to posts on this board?  i've responded to posts, but i will admit, sometimes i forget to look and see if SAIF is welcome.

Re: question for you ladies (warning, pics and ticker)

  • I personally appreciate it, although I have SAIF/PAIFW in my sig.  Sometimes it's absolutely invaluable to have your support.  For instance when someone's freaking out in the middle of an IVF cycle about fert rate (like I did the other day Embarrassed) and SAIFers come share their stories of getting KU on a worse fert rate, or on a 3dt, etc.

    So I'm a fan, particularly when there's something relevant and informative you can offer.  But that's just my 2 cents. 

    Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.

    IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

    Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

  • My 2 cents : I need the encouragement.  Seeing posts from SAIF / PAIF gives me hope :)

    I *lurk* on the PAIF board, I have SO many questions that I don't feel comfortable asking "over there".  So, I personally really appreciate the feedback :)

    Your LO is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

  • I appreciate it because you can give advice on things from the other side of the coin and it's encouraging to hear the stories of success.  I would say if someone has SAIF/PAIFW in their siggy, then by all means please post.

  • I agree with Lynda, although I also have PAIF/SAIF welcome in my siggy. I think the advice you ladies can offer is invaluable, but those that have intentionally left that out of their siggy might not appreciate it as much. I know it's a pain to always check siggies, so perhaps add a warning if you're not sure?
    After 5 TI Clomid cycles, 5 IUIs, and 2 IVFs we finally got our BFP!

  • I, too, and grateful when you take the time to come over and check on us and lend a helping hand or support. Its a tough ride, and I find it inspirational, not just that you have  achieved to that which we aspire, but that you remember what it was like to be here so much that you want to be helpful. THANK YOU! 

    I have never added anything to my siggie....I  suppose i should:)

  • No problem with it at all... i have in my sig that everyone is welcome to post
  • My 2 cents... apart from being insanely jealous from time to time of you gal's being able to say you are PAIF/SAIF I would LOVE for you to chime in to help us IF'ers workout the tricks and traps for new players.

    I lurk a lot over on PAIF and have learned a lot so any and all of your wise thoughts are truly welcomed!

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p

  • I agree with the other ladies here , and do have PAIF/SAIF in my siggy.  But at the same time, I can understand not wanting to run into a baby pic or ticker without warning; so please continue to provide warnings so that those having a bad day can avoid if they wish.
