  Thanks. I can't believe I've waited this long for this cycle and I have a feeling these trips are going to make it even a longer wait. Hmm maybe I be be hoping for a transfer right away when I get back from first trip

  If anyone is really bored and want to give me a play by play of starting BCP's and what came next on their timeline I wouldn't mind...lol. I should really know after being on the boards for so long

  ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
  Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

  GL, Becky!  I am so glad this is closer to happening for you.

  One item to consider, is how you will feel travelling, if you complete the cycle before you leave and are successful.

  I know some women feel nothing and all goes smoothly, but me- shortly after ET, felt complete and utter exhaustion like I never have before.  One of the nurses at the RE's office said I might be PG and I side eyed her.  She was right- and the exhaustion continued throughout the 1st trimester.  I also had rough times to start (bleeding, etc.), weekly visits and having the RE close by at the start were re-assuring.

  I know that this is probably the last thing you are thinking about, but just wanted to put that out there. 

  
  DOR and AMA
  2/12-5/12: 4 IUI cycles = all BFN;
  7/12: DE IVF # 1 (with ICSI)- 20R, 16M, 14F, 5DT of 2 blasts; 6 frosties = BFN;
  Lupus anticoagulant initially high, then found to be normal on hematology consult;
  Follow up testing in September all clear;
  Started synthroid for "high normal" TSH;
  FET # 1- late October 2012- BFP on FRER; beta # 1- 21(low), beta # 2- 48 (still low), beta # 3- 132, beta # 4- 1,293; beta # 5- 5,606; last beta- over 100,000. First u/s 11/21- heard heartbeat
  12/12- Officially an OB patient!
  Level 2 ultrasound at 20 weeks shows vasa previa and VCI
  Referral to MFM and mandatory c section for delivery
  Beautiful baby girl born at 34 weeks
  Finally home after 15 day NICU stay!
  Trying for sibling: FET # 2- May 2014; beta 5/31, BFN
  FET #3, early July 2014; beta 7/14, BFN
  DE IVF # 2- August 2014; 14R, 13M, 11F, 5dt of 2 blasts (3 AA), 5 frosties = BFN
  FET #4- December 2014, yet another BFN

  Dr. KK work up shows borderline uterine blood flow, elevated NK cells, and MTHFR mutation (homozygous for c677t)

  Added baby aspirin, prednisone, supplements, Metanx, and intralipids

  Switched to large clinic for final attempt; had endometrial receptivity testing in January; FET March 2015 = yet another BFN

  Likely OAD- NBC
