PSA: Kat.ie Cou.ric Show on Infertility

Hi ladies,

I hope this link works...Katie had several people on her show today talking about various types of infertility, including Tom Arnold (azoo), a model who used donor eggs, a couple who have tried to conceive for over 10 years without success and a young woman who decided to freeze her eggs.  I thought it was very well done.

Just wanted to pass this along. :)

Me: AMA, DOR, undetectable AMH, carrier of SMA, MTHFR homozygous C677T, high cytokines, low IGg B cells, Factor XIII V34l mutation, High Anti-Phosphatidylethanolmine, borderline hypothyroid and mildly insulin resistant.

 

MH: No known issues, aside from MTHFR.

 

Recommendations from RI: LIT, Humira, IVIG, Lovenox, Baby Aspirin, Folic Acid, Low-dose synthroid and Metformin.

 

Currently taking:  Pre-Natal vitamins, Foltanx, Low-dose synthroid and Metformin. 

 

When cycling also taking: Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, Humira and IVIG.

 

TTC since 7/11/09..with medical intervention starting in 2010, including 4 failed IVF's and 6 failed IUI's...only "success" was a chemical pregnancy in 11/2012 (credited to use of DE).

FET #1 (11th cycle) on 8/23/13 = BFN.

FET #2 (12th cycle) Transfer of last two (day 6) donor egg blasts on 1/22/14 = BFP, EDD = 10/10/14 (please stick little BOY!)

 

My favorite breed:
