ela81-trying on our own

Question of the day:

How long do you think you would/will go through IF treatments for more children?

This FET coming up will be our last shot at anymore children. Dh would be completly fine with being one and done. I would like another but would get over it eventually-after some counceling. Wink We only have 2 frozen embies left, I don't think we have much chance at all at it happening without IF treatments. I don't have it in me to do anymore fresh IVF cycles and my IF insurance coverage is dwidling down fast!

desabean-looks like our ET's might be the same week!

courted-good luck getting to the RE.

All you ladies trying on your own hope you get some surprise BFP's

You can add me! Trying on our own for a few, but will probably end up doing a fresh cycle by the end of the summer. I hate to put a limit on how far we'll go, but we're OOP so guess until the money runs out, lol. Then I'll just be super happy with the one sleeping on my chest right now

KYRN · February 2011

QOTD: I have only med coverage but since I know I can get pregnant on my own, it will take a while for me to get DH back to the RE. DH has surgery coming up in Feb. and April. I'd like to squeeze at least 2 femara cycles in between now and then. If I'm not pregnant by the summer then I would like to get back to the RE, the catch is I want to go to a new RE that is close to 2 hours away instead of the one in town. We would probably do a few IUI's, possibly an IVF or 2, it really all depends. By the end of this year we will be in a very comfortable financial situation so I would be willing to spend quite a bit to achieve another pregnancy.

hey!

Can you add me to the list? Im currently in my natural FET 2ww. ugh!

Question of the day:

I have no idea when my end point will be. I feel like we will go in phases. I think i have atleast 3 more attempts in me (either fresh or frozen)...although with each BFN I get more and more broken down and depressed about it. Then we will likely move to donor sperm. I havent even wrapped my head around that phase of the process yet though. Its hard because we clearly have severe MFI, but now we have elevated FSH issues on my part too. So I wonder if I would ever have to consider a donor egg as well. I have an identical twin who would likely be willing to give me her eggs, but that is not until she has had children of her own....

I got AF yesterday, so we only have two more tries at a baby the old fashioned (and free!) way. The disappointment isn't too bad, though. I think our expectation is to cycle again, and truthfully, I think we even expect our first cycle to fail. I will have a SHG next week to get that ball rolling, and to figure out if my lining still looks off. As for the QOTD: we have a high deductible insurance plan with coverage for 4 retrievals (and unlimited transfers). We have 3 retrievals left, and I have to imagine we would use those up before changing gears towards adoption. We WILL have more children, though. It is just a matter of when and how.

You can add me!

Just got my beta results this morning and my ectopic is finally resolved. (all on it's own. no shot or surgery)

next cycle we will try low dose injectable and iui. CD1 should be around February 18th. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck everyone!

desabean · February 2011

QOTD: We have this fresh cycle and then we will use up whatever frozen embies we have on an FET (we currently have 2 from 3 IVF's, so I'm not overly hopeful that we will get more than 1 to freeze from this cycle). After that we are done. I am 38 and I have zero hope I would get pregnant without IVF so.....at that point I guess we'd be one and done....but I'm not really ready to go there just yet.

PhillySue · February 2011

We are very fortunate to have IF coverage. We would exhaust our coverage before stopping treatments. I am assuming my coverage could get us through 2 fresh cycles and maybe an FET. But should I not be able to conceive again we would pursuit adoption. As Davez says "I will mother others".

Question of the day:

How long do you think you would/will go through IF treatments for more children?

I really want at least one (really 2) more kids. We are 100% oop but I have to say we will at least some up with the money for 2 more fresh cycles. I hope so bad we can at the least get some embies to freeze. If we have frozen embies we will do a bunch of FETs to get 2 more kiddos.

Courted · February 2011

First I have to day that I love that you post this checkin frequently. Sometimes it feels like I am the only one on here who can't get PG again or who isn't expecting again.... So thanks, for supplying the support! : Big Smile

How long do you think you would/will go through IF treatments for more children? Like your DH, mine would be fine to be one and done (although he has 3 grown children as well). Funny thing is that one and done was the plan, and then when Nico was 6 mo old he brought up the possibility of #2. I brought this subject up in an indirect way with DH just yesterday (he hates talking about IF- he says it makes him feel guilty) and we agreed that we will do another couple IUIs and then go back to IVF.

If we go back to IVF then we willhave some major choices to make. After 3 IVF cycles, we have NEVER had any to freeze, we are completely OOP. So we have to decide to stay with our current RE, who is great, but yet I think it is strange that we have never had any to freeze (he is picky-embies have to make it to day 6) at about $13,000 per cycle or maybe look at going somewhere who has package deals for multiple IVFs (out of state in OK maybe). With our history in the last year, I am also pondering whether we would lean towards transferring 2 or 3. I hope we don't even have to go there....but at least Dh is willing to go there.

Sorry! I know that was WAY more information than you asked for, but I needed to get all this off my chest and like I said, DH doesn't like to talk about this.

Oh, I haven't seen this. Please add me to the list. We haven't been "avoiding" since Henry was born, but I think we put the "trying" hat back on 5 or 6 months ago. We've just been trying on our own; I've used a few OPK's, but that is about it. I've been back to the RE for a consult and he suggested doing a fresh IVF cycle, so that is what we are gearing up for. I think I'm going to need to get my gallbladder out first though. I had an US of my abdomen a week ago (because I had GB problems with my pregnancy and afterwards) and I've got an appointment with a general surgeon next week. My OB suggested a month of recovery before getting PG, so I'm hoping that the doc can cut out my GB sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, my RE had me re-do all my bloodwork and I'm going in for a mock trasfer, US, and I think a HSG next week.

QOTD: How long do you think you would/will go through IF treatments for more children?

I'm not sure on this one... We've always talked about having 2-4 children, but IF has put a damper an that. We do have some insurance coverage left, so that takes that worry out of the equasion for the time being. I think I have at least one fresh IVF cycle in me, maybe two, but after that I don't know. After 3 fresh IVFs and only one "okay" quality snowbaby, I'm not holding my breath that we'd ever be able to do a FET.
