My Absence and NEWS :)
I am sorry Ladies! I have found in the past that when I am on here consistently when trying to cycle, I actually end up driving myself NUTS...my own obsessiveness! As you know, I did a 2nd IUI in February which did not work. Then we changed REs, which was an awesome choice, and did IVF #4. This RE was not only cheaper by about $4000, but he also does PICSI on top of ICSI, which I had never heard of....well it worked!
We had 25 eggs retreived, 17 mature and 10 fertilized. 2 5AA blasts were transferred and three 5BC blasts were frozen (first time ever). My first beta was Saturday and it was 10dp5dt and was 209, Today at 13dp5dt it was 993! Yea PICSI and God!
Now to get to the u/s, which is scheduled on June 16 when I will be 7 weeks. Last year, we found out we had only a placenta growing, no baby, at the u/s....so hopefully this is it for us!
Thanks for all your thoughts and wishes!

I had never hear dof this before and am so grateful to have found an RE who does it. What they do is line the dish with an acid that is found on the outside of the egg. This acid attracts the sperm to the egg, so the embryologists watch for the sperm that recognize the acid and are attracted to it! They then use those to do the ICSI. DH barely had any that responded to the PICSI, which means most his sperm could care less about what thier job is...but there were enough to fertilize the eggs we had. I think this made for better embryos, because this is the first time we have EVER been able to freeze anything.
