  • Hi all,

    Well, ER was Monday. They only got 4 eggs which bummed me out. Then only 2 fertilized, which is really disappointing too. I got a call this morning that they want to do a 3dt, which also leads me to believe that they aren't good quality. So, ET is tomorrow morning. Holding out hope that this isn't over.

    TTC since 9/2011

    IVF #3 w/ICSI = 9/2013 = BFP!   Beta #1 9/9: 79, Beta #2 9/12: 441

    Hi ladies!  Good luck to everyone cycling right now and ((hugs)) to anyone that needs them!

    Update: I'm at 9w2d, had my first OB appt this morning, and I'm done with the RE except for finishing weaning off the Endometrin and Vivelle.  All my u/s's have looked good, right on track, so I'm feeling less stressed.  The nausea sucks, but lately it has been coming and going more often, so at least I don't feel crappy all the time.  I can't wait to hit 2nd Tri.  

    QOTW: My quote is in my siggy on the picture! :-)   

    TTC #1 7/10, Me (31)- Dx DOR (AMH 0.6); DH (30)- normal
    BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks
    IUI #1 and #2 (8/12, 9/12)- 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFNs
    IVF #1 (EPP) 13R/10M/9F, 5DT 1-4AA blast, beta #1-148, beta #2-322, 5 frosties!

  • Hi everyone... no change for me.  still on BCP's for 4 more days.  going back and forth between being excited and being scared to death.  between thinking positive and thinking this won't work.  rough time emotionally for me.  

    i love any quote i read but one i read recently fits my thoughts right now... "Once you choose hope, anything is possible".  

    Me (37) DH (39); PCOS changed to Unexplained, changed to DOR in 2012 (finally a correct diagnosis!); 
    Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.  
    Clomid + Trigger x2; 
    IUI + Femara x1,
    IUI + Follistim x2;
    IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.
    IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life. 
    Identical twin miracle BOYS (!!) headed our way- due date is technically 2/4/14 but c section is scheduled for 1/7!

  • We are in our 2ww for iui2. We are scheduled for beta on Tuesday next week.

    Our RE is recommending injectables to hopefully drum up more than one folly if this cycle doesnt take, so I think our plan will be to take a month off in Feb, and the proceed with either injectables or an increased clomid dose in March.

    Qotw: mostly I just keep repeating to myself that there is life after ART!

  • Hey ladies!

    I am on estrogen/ganirelix now. The ganirelix really stings and it's really rashy for a few hours after the shot. Ugh. I go in for my baseline on friday and assuming all is good, I start stims that day. Eeek!

    This is one of my favorites recently -

  • Hi everyone.  I've been completely MIA for a couple months.  I figured I needed to give myself a bump break considering we are just waiting for more sperm.

    I received a phone call from my RE following the report that was sent to her from our urologist.  She is recommending that we freeze sperm now.  She also wanted us to talk to the urologist regarding this and see what he thought.  DH didn't seem interested in this at all when I mentioned it to him.  His response was, if the numbers are getting better, what's the point to freeze now and pay for it if we can wait and freeze later when we get more.  I think the point was that we need to freeze some now in case later there isn't any again.

    Our next uro appointment is in March so I guess we will wait until then.  I lurk occasionally but I don't post much because obviously nothing is happening.  I wish you all luck all the time though and I think about you often.
