It's written by a former IVF lab director. The scientific info she provides is priceless. I came across it while researching high estrogen and implantation failure. One of her recent blogs is about the Affordable Care Act and infertility. Just wanted to share.

Three ectopic preganacies in left tube in 1999, 2003 and 2004. HSG in 2010 concluded left tube blockage. IUI with femara in 2012 BFN. IVF #1 June 2013, 20 retreived, 14 mature, 12 fertilized via ICSI, one transferred, four frozen, BFN.  FET in September 2013 - BFN:( FET #2 April 2014 - BFP!!!!

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God,the Maker of all things. <?xml:namespace prefix = o />

    Yes! She answered one of my questions too. There is a way to donate to keep her cause going. I think I will. Glad you were able to use her as a resource!
