TTC After a Loss

A call from the doctor on a Sunday is never good

Since my doctor had to leave for an emergency delivery during my appointment last week, he called me today to follow up.  Dh and I trust my doctors opinion 100% so when he called to say that conceiving naturally is no longer an option and we are headed for ivf, my heart sank.  I knew in my heart that was our fait, but DH was thinking we would try again.  Now he says that we have to trust his opinion but he doesn't want 9 kids.  I told him that the clinics have options to ensure only 1 baby at a time.  My doc said he has 3 places for us to go to that offer scholarships and he is on top of our case.  It feels good to know he is in my corner as he is a well known and highly respected doctor.  Feeling a bit numb right now and have a pile of halloween candy in front of me.  Sorry that my posts have been so whiny.

  • Im sorry, getting the newa that IVF is your only option is scary and disheartening. That being said, it seems like your hubby isn't that well informed. My best advise is to read about IVF to understand it better, I suggest the couples guide to IVF. Its a very basic and informative book, a good starting point to learn the basics of ART. good luck and ask if you have any questions, I lurk alot more these days since most don't look familiar to me here.

     Thank you for that info on the book.  He most defintely does not know anything about ivf and was hoping that he never would have to.  Good luck on your 2nd ivf!  I am nervous because I have no idea what I am in for, but we will get through it together and having you ladies for support is priceless.

    I'm so sorry you got that news. IVF does sound scary with all the 5 & 6+ baby families on TV, but I'm glad your MD is such a good advocate for you! Your posts are not whiny, they are definitely reasonable for what you're going through. And you deserve every piece of candy for hearing that crappy phone call on a Sunday. Good luck with IVF though & keep us updated.

  • I'm so sorry delino.  What tough news to hear.  ((hugs))

    Usually high order multiples are due to IUIs, not IVF.  At least for the most part.  No responsible doctor is going to put too many embryos in your ute (and certainly not more than you're comfortable with!!).  Depending on your age, it will likely only be 2.  Good luck!

    I am so sorry. Take all the time you need to let this sink in. We are headed for IVF in the spring, most likely, so PM me if you ever need to chat.
