Hi! and Intro

glamgirljglamgirlj
in TTC after 35

I have learned so much from this board and finally feel I can join in and keep up. :-)

A little bit about us...

Me: 36 PCOS/Insulin Resistance Rx 500mg Metformin 2x day.

DH: 36 low T and low sperm count (4m) Rx HCG for 10 weeks (3 weeks to go)

TTC #1 since 02/2011 (our honeymoon).  Hoping to increase DH count to try for IUI.  If the HCG shots don't work, will continue with IVF. Anxiety increasing as we get closer to the end of his treatment.  I feel so ignorant about the whole process but have learned so much just lurking on this board.  I feel I am going to need your wisdom and support once we get the ball rolling in a few weeks.

    Welcome to the board.  I don't have experience with PCOS but can definitely sympathize with the MFI - we have that and it makes things difficult - good luck to you. 

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!
