Time for an Intro

Hi Ladies I've been spending most of my time on 3T, but I think it might be time to intro here.  DH and I are 25, and have been trying since Aug 2010, and we started seeing an RE at the beginning of this year. We have since been diagnosed with tubal blockage, DOR, MFI, and my recurrent pregnancy loss panel has come back with MTHFR and abnormal antiphospholipid antibodies.  After our failed IUI, RE said that our financial resources would be better off spent on IVF.  So we are now trying to figure out our IF journey, that now includes IVF w/ ICSI.  I feel like I had done a ton of research on IUI, so now I'm doing my research on something completely new now. The only thing I know is that I will be starting Heparin when they do the ET. I hope you ladies don't mind if I lurk some, and ask some questions along the way. TIA

    Welcome to the board and sorry you have to be here with such a combo of issues.  I'm DOR as well, do they tell you what your numbers are (AFC, AMH, FSH)?

    Welcome! I'm sorry that you have to be here, but I hope your stay is short and sweet! 

    Do you know when you are going to cycle? I also have antiphospholipid syndrome. Do you know which antibodies were elevated? If you have any questions on any of this, I would be more than happy to answer any questions!

    I am assuming that you will probably start lovenox after ET, not heparin. Lovenox is a low-molecular weight heparin. Patients are typically switched to heparin at the end of pregnancy, since it has a shorter half-life. I would highly recommend you look into your insurance coverage for lovenox prior to your cycle. It is very expensive, about $1600 per month out of pocket. But, I have been able to get a letter from my doctor in order to get it covered. It's a pain in the butt, but worth it to get it covered! 

    I wish you luck in your IVF journey! I look forward to getting to know you!

     

    We are still letting the "IVF" news sink in, but we are looking at our finances to see if it will be sometime this fall of early winter. I'll have to ask again on which was elevated, when then nurse originally called me she said I would probably be put on Lovenox,  but my RE said Heparin.  When RE said Heparin the nurse said it in a high pitched voice 3 times and she when she mentioned Lovenox he said no, so I was confused then, and now more so. But i'll be sure to ask why he is wanting the one over the other. And thanks for the Lovenox info, I had no clue it was that pricey, I will be checking that out in the morning.

    my AMH was .52,  FSH was 10.2, and I didn't find the AFC numbers but if I remember I think I had 6 on left and 5 on right.

    Hi and welcome! I don't have any advice except that in researching I think you will find the ladies here to be a wonderful resource. Post questions on anything at all as you get going with your process. Good luck!!
    | Married since 2008 | DH and I: Both 30 | Me: Endometriosis and Carrier of an X-Linked Dominant Genetic Disorder | DH: Low Morph | Planning IVF with PGD and PGS in 2013 | Freeze-All IVF #1: March 2013 ER 3/26. 29R, 12M, 11F. 4 5AA frozen blasts. Freeze-All IVF#2: May 2013 ER 5/15. 31R, 21M, 20F. 6 5AA frozen blasts. Our PGD probe was completed in late June (total of 20 weeks to develop). PGD and PGS Results came on 6/19: 3 healthy embryos (normal chromosomes and unaffected by my family's genetic disorder). FET #1: July 2013 Natural Cycle - Cancelled due to insufficient lining (only got to 7.5mm). FET #1.2: August 2013 - Medicated Cycle with Lupron & Estrogen Patches to build up lining. Single embryo transfer was 8/23. Beta #1: 240! Beta #2: 578! U/S on 9/19 at 6w4d: We saw the heart beating at 131bpm. Second U/S on 10/4 at 8w5d: We saw the heart beating at 178bpm. EDD 5/11/2014
