Been MIA...Update on me (DE ER today)

Hi ladies: I'm sorry I haven't been around much. It's been much easier to just keep my mind occupied and not even really think about the fact that I'm cycling, or anything having to do with IVF and babies. It is too scary to even entertain the possibility of what could or couldn't happen since this is my last try.

The donor ER was today and they got 14 eggs. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. It's definitely less than I expected. Thank God I didn't split the cycle with another couple. This is a very reliable donor who has had much success in her past cycles, so I'm hoping it's just a case of quality over quantity. I'm still hoping for a 5dt.

This cycle I also did IVIG and other immune treatments (Lovenox, prednisone). All of that went fine. My lining looked good on the u/s.

I guess there's nothing else I can do. Everything is out of my hands. Praying for a good fert report tomorrow.

Dx: High FSH, stage IV endo, homozygous C677T MTHFR and PAI-1
Early loss 10/08
Lap 1/09
IVF #1 "natural IVF" - 1 egg retrieved, missed m/c
Tried several mini-stim cycles with no response
Switched clinics - dx'd as carrier for Fragile X
IVF #2 MDL protocol Jan/Feb converted to IUI, BFN
IVF #2 take 2: Antagonist, one embie, BFN
IVF #3: Antagonist, no fertilization
One last ditch effort at OE IVF (antagonist with Clomid) cancelled
DE cycle #1 Jan/Feb 2011, BFP, ectopic
DE cycle #2 June/July 2011 - BFP
10/28/11 Baby girl lost at 17 weeks due to pre-term labor. We love and miss you.
DE cycle #3 June/July 2012 - BFP, twins, both heartbeats stopped, D&C
2 frosties but don't know what's next
FET Dec 2012: BFP! Praying this one sticks for the long haul!

    From where I'm sitting, fourteen sounds like a beautiful number.  You mentioned that she has a good cycle history, so I'm sure you'll get some strong embies out of this.  I've noticed that some of the most successful and popular donors at my clinic have fewer eggs retrieved.  They're still making beautiful eggs.  Hang in there sweets!
