Re: **Third-Party Repro Check-in (10/27)**
We had our WTF after failed FET#2 - my first ever total BFN. We did a quick in-office hysteroscopy for fun (well, not fun, but it was a 'well why not?' since my insurance deductible is SO totally met) and my uterus looked fabulous. That was reassuring.
We decided not to mess with protocol because my estrogen levels have always been great, lining great, and I did carry to 16w using progesterone suppositories (vs. PIO) and there were no issues. At this point, I don't want to change something and then always wonder if that was why it didn't work (if it doesn't work, that is). My RE seemed to feel all was well and we have no reason to expect a BFN...it is a numbers game after all. So FX.
We also discussed what next - honestly, I'm not sure I'm done and yet I'm not sure how much more we can take. I am considering a frozen egg cycle through my clinic (I can even use my same egg donor, I have a clutch of her eggs reserved!) but out of pocket would be around $10K I'm guessing as I've met my lifetime maximum for IF after this FET. My wife still has a chunk left and likely we can charge a chunk to hers - but the cycle is $18K out of pocket so that would be worst case - and I am just finally paying off our DE fresh cycle 1 year later as of next month!! Seriously. I was so happy to be 100% debt free outside of house and car payments. So we'll see...maybe this one will work, but I feel better knowing there are options and it doesn't HAVE to be over.
QOTW: In light of that last paragraph, I wouldn't mind if everything I touched turned to gold . But, I think if I could have an honest super power, I'd maybe go with one I saw on the show Heros before it got too hard for me to follow - one character could imitate anything she saw someone else do. So, if someone played a piano concert, she could do that; if they built a house, she could do that. It would be cool to be able to be good at ANYTHING!
Looking forward to all your updates!!
Me (43) and J (45) - same sex couple. And we don't feel 40+!

@2MamazinSeattlehugs and your attitude is amazing. Really hoping this last cycle is the one for you and SO!! FX. OOP stinks
@indianasunshine Congrats!! Sorry you were so sick. Love the name and FX that he continues to do so well!
I'm pretty darn excited that I'm finally going to cycle. It's surreal. 2.5 years. Estimated transfer is around week of December 10th. I'm not sure how I like the idea of it being around Christmas if it doesn't work but I CAN'T imagine waiting another month
I would love to have the power to fly at the speed of light. It would be pretty cool to fly around to another country to see my relatives and friends in other parts of the state and not waste time on an airplane. Speed of light..is that what I'm looking for? lol
Communicating with animals is another one that would be neat. I always wonder what my cat really thinks of MH!

SAIF/PAIF Welcome
http://waitingforraintostop.wordpress.com
Update: It is amazing how quickly everything is moving along now. I failed my 1-hour glucose test (not a surprise at all, but still a bit frustrating). I take my 3-hour on Wed so hopefully I can pass that one. I finally seem to have my BP under control and little man is growing like crazy and moving and kicking up a storm. I still have a hard time actually believing it is real and keep waiting for someone to "catch me" faking this. I don't think the infertility brain ever leaves....
I had my first shower yesterday which was really nice. It was good to see a lot of my family that I don't get to see much and won't be able to see this Christmas due to travel restrictions so it was good to have everyone there.
QOTD: Fertility isn't a superpower, is it? (although my sister might dispute that..). Hmm, I would love to be able to stop time. I need a nap...lol.
And even though I don't always address everyone directly, I am frequently checking in and rooting for all of you! it is about time we had another string of successes so hopefully we can have a lot of happy Christmas news this year!!!!
I am currently on estrogen patches & small lupron dose each day. I have a tentative lining check on 11/5 and tentative transfer between 11/11 and 11/19. We are using California conceptions DE/DS pgm.
As for super powers, I like the cleaning super power idea! I would love to be able to keep up with cleaning my house better! I also wish I had the power to make IF go away so no one had to experience it or experience loss in any way! IF stinks & I wish it didn't exist.
April 2013 DE IVF= BFN
September 2013 DE IVF (Fingers Crossed) = BFFFN! again...
October 2013 FET of our last 2 = Beta Hellzz for 6-7 Weeks. M/C
Praying unceasingly for a miracle. ALL welcome!
AFM: having a good weekend with a girlfriend here to visit. DH is out of town for a week and I have all of this week with my pups and a quiet house.
Hysterscopy is nov 5th and hopefully tomorrow my dr will call and let me know if my Hcg levels are zero at this point. I sure hope so because I need some wine. After the methotrexate shot your not suppost to drink until your numbers are zero so I've been holding off.
Qotw: I always loved that show Girl meets world and she would put her fingers together and freeze time. I always wished I could do that!

My Ovulation Chart
With our next cycles I am going in for a sono and will start the BCP to synch our cycles. H has been on the BCP and will start stimming around Nov 21. We are expecting our ER to be in early December. We are currently still needing to decide about a donor.
We have frozen sperm we have used before already for the iui cycles, but we are seriously considering a new donor who looks a bit more like me, as we will be using H's eggs for any pregnancies now...
Of course all of this depends on my sono being clear and the cycles synching as they should... Plus I keep trying to offer H an option to take the fresh transfer herself instead of giving it to me, I want her to feel lots of freedom to have the best shot at this if she decides she wants that. Though sometimes I think my consistently reminding her she can change her mind is hard for her too!
So much uncertainty. I feel like there is so much that can go wrong... bah!
queer couple - 32 (me) & 33 (my love) years old - donor sperm,
Our IF/TTC journey since Nov 2012.
Me: dx of DOR in Nov. 2012. Low AMH, AFC - 6, Normal FSH, SS-A (RO) Antibodies (Autoimmune issues), tubes clear, Sono (November 2013) NORMAL! <p>
7 IUI's - December 2012-September 2013. Medicated, Injected, Triggered.... all BFN.
My Love: (the amazing @Healz413)
Normal AMH & FSH, AFC ~27, blocked tube dx'd via HSG in 2012. Hydrosalpinx & ovarian cyst dx'd in May 2013.
dx of Stage IV Endo & bilateral salpinectomy in June 2013.
Partner IVF#1a- December 2013 - H's eggs, my Ute - CANCELLED due to low response
Partner IVF #1b - February 2014 - H's eggs, my Ute - ER February 4 (10 retrieved, 3 fertilized), Transfer Feb 7 of one Grade 1 and one Grade 2 day 3 embryos. 1 - Day 3, Grade 1 frosty saved. BFP - 6dp3dt via FRER, Beta #1 - 110, Beta #2 175, Beta #3 - 348, Beta #4 - 2222!, Beta #5 - 4255. Ultrasound (6w1d) - 2 heartbearts!
We lost our beautiful Twin baby girls on June 18, 2014. Tavin Sara and Casey Elizabeth were born at 21 weeks gestation and were absolutely beautiful, precious, amazing babies. We miss our daughters every day and love them with all our hearts.
Hi ladies,
As always, f/x for those in the 2ww, just starting a cycle or will be cycling soon and hugs to anyone that needs them!
AFM, still waiting for AF to show her ugly face (I think I'm on CD 50...ugh), but I think I'm going to have to call my RE soon to get a script for Provera...why isn't anything easy??
QOTW: I would definitely want my super power to be an ability to see my future, as least where it relates to IF. For example, if I was guaranteed to have a baby (or two) I would not regret any of the procedures I've done so far. It just sucks not knowing....especially since we're still paying off failed cycles.
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:
***PAIF/SAIF always welcome***
@2MamazInSeattle - I totally understand your need for a break. I am happy to see you back in the saddle. Like PP have said, your attitude is inspiring and amazing to me. I'm so glad you're a part of this board.
@indianasunshine - Congrats on Austin Hale!
@xmaystarx - Good luck at your consult.
@BeckyP005 - I know how long you've waited for this! I am so excited for you. I really hope December 10th gets here quickly, and I totally get what you mean about being nervous about it being near Christmas. I hope you get the best Christmas present ever.
@jalara48- Oh my gosh! So exciting that you are moving forward with your plan! I really admire how quickly you've been able to get up after being knocked down so harshly, dust yourself off, and keep on fighting. You're amazing.
@lincoln79 - I'm glad you're able to stay distracted as you move along.
@Mrs.McIrish - I am praying with all of my might that this next cycle is IT for you. Fingers crossed your next steps are smooth sailing.
@jms1374 - Glad to hear you are getting everything in check with your health. It must be really stressful! Congrats on your shower!
@sarisus - Congrats on your pregnancy! Welcome to the board!
@ArgyleBride - I've really enjoyed reading about your journey through being a donor. I think it's so amazing that you're doing this, I love your giving and selfless attitude, and I think you're all-around fantastic. Good luck with this cycle to both you and your IP!
@lmielocl1 - Welcome and good luck with your cycle. We might be transfer buddies. I have my ET scheduled for 11/19!
@stinkerbell6879 - FX for your beta!
@Lacyj67 - I am glad to hear everything is going well with your friend. I know it's hard when a friend is pregnant and you've been through so much to get there yourself, but aren't. You're strong! Good luck at your hysteroscopy and I hope you can put beta hell behind you. *hug*
@klaganza - Good luck at your transfer! I understand your statement about it not being the loss, but the horrible feelings that come afterword. *hug* I really hope this ET brings you your take home baby!
@brooklynesque - My head is exploding at the amazingness of your donor's cycle! I have an awesome feeling about this! I hope you can stay occupied until Wed, and on Wed you get a phenomenal report. Keep us posted!
@sammer818 - Ahh! So glad that you had a good meeting! Things are moving along! Woo hoo!
@orangemell2012 - FX you get a BFP! I know that trying to stay relaxed is so much easier in theory than practice. Hang in there. We are rooting for you!
@Manada - It's scary looking at the road ahead, but I'll keep my fingers crossed you guys can knock out each step without complications. FX for you both.
@MrsT4 - Sending you AF vibes. You must be really frustrated. I hope you can move along soon.
AFM - I had my baseline Friday and I was shocked because even without a period, my lining was thin and my e2 was low so I was cleared to get started! I'm on my third day of estrace and already feel better without the stupid Lupron headaches. Hotflashes, on the other hand, can suck it. I still have them. BAD! I wish I could just fast forward to beta after all is said and done. The waiting and going through the motions is tiring and I'm less excited than I am anxious this time.
Wednesday is the EDD of our first m/c angel baby. I'm having kind of a hard time as that day approaches, but I feel like after this month I'll be able to put it behind me. Who knows?
QOTD - I wish I could tell the future! I think it would make IF a little more bearable if I knew there was a finish line in sight somewhere.

TTC #1 since Fall 2008
High FSH, Sertoli Cell Only Syndrome
Unsuccessful with my OE, moving to DE + DS

BTW, I'm loving the updates today!
Update: We have cosen a donor, she is currently donating this November. She has to her wait 1 month in between cycles which means she will be ready to get everything started in December for a January Egg Retrieval. This feels so far away, considering we have to do pgd, freeze all and do an FET. I'm guessing FET February.
QOTW: I would love to have an enhanced memory and have the power of persuasion

Love all of the updates today!! I am currently on low dose Lupron & strated the Estrace yesterday. My FET will be Nov 13th! It feels so far away but I am enjoying the acupuncture in the mean time.

@Stinkerbell: So happy you finally got a BFP!!!! Sending lots of good luck your way!
@IndianaSunshine: So happy your preemie baby is doing fantastic with no issues! Congrats!
I've been watching you guys and sending positive thoughts your way! Now for my
Update: I started my first IVF cycle with stim meds on 10/29 with an expected retrieval on Nov. 10th or 11th with a possible transfer date of Nov 15th or 16th. Getting positive responses from my blood work and ultrasounds. I have 17 follicles right now and I'm just hoping this time it works!!! I have a more positive outlook on the whole process this time and I've been stress free and worry free for some strange reason.
In the meantime, I injured myself at work and they think i tore my rotator cuff. Of course I can't get an MRI right now so I'm stuck on light duty, which completely sucks because I LOVE my job but it's also been a total blessing because I don't have to wear the heavy belt that puts all the pressure on my tummy and makes me uncomfortable and cranky. I'm kinda hoping I'm on light duty until my preg test (IDK when that is though!!!) and then I could transfer to light duty for pregnancy without telling anyone at my work.
If I could have a super power I think it would be speed. I would love to have the ability to travel anywhere as fast as I could...that way I'd have a chance to be there for all of my family's good times and bad at an instant.
Good luck to everyone this month! I hope it's great holiday news for all!
