Re: *Third-Party Reproduction Check-in* Aug 31
RunCC37 I hope all your testing comes out fine! I'm glad you were able to come out and post under your RunCC37 name.
This is the week of FET #2. I did acupuncture on Friday and am going to go in right before my transfer and right after this Friday. I figured it can't hurt.
I love most Mexican food restaurants.
Have a great week!
Edited to change word.
TTC #1 since May 2010

DE FET #1 7/3/14-Transferred 2 5AA 6 day embryos Beta 7/13/14 BFN
DE FET #2 9/5/14-Transferred 2 4BB 5 day embryos Beta 9/15/14 BFN
DE FET #3 in December- Cancelled, didn't respond to meds
DE FET #3 (2nd try) 2/13/15- Transferred 1 4BB and 1 4BA 5 day embryos Beta 2/23/15 BFN again (CP)
DE FET #4 - last 2 frosties....5/22/15- Transferred 1 4BA embryo...only one frostie thawed properly. Beta scheduled for 6/1- BFN (beta 2, 2.81, 6, 23, 49.4) 6/15/15 Discovered ectopic in left tube. Methotrexate given. Moving on to a new donor. Hoping to transfer by the end of the year.
Cant find a donor that is healthy and available. Looking at being happy with just the two of us.
He used the 3 ml syringe thurs morning and gave me like 4x the estradiol I should of had. So I called our re and told him what happened sun morning and sure enough it will mess up my lining completely. So needless to say we have to start all over. I was so upset but I know accidents happen. Just wish I hadn't already spent like $1,100 on my intralipid and Lupron shot..... Huge financial mistake... And no sept transfer. Probably like late Oct or nov. So stupid!

SAIF/PAIF Welcome

Update: I was stimming for an IVF with my eggs/DS cycle but it was canceled because my follicle stopped growing and E2 fell. The plan is to wait for AF to start and then start a testosterone priming protocol. I was hoping to incorporate HGH, but it’s looking like the cost does not make sense considering our poor prognosis. It’s kind of our Hail Mary while waiting for donor embryos.
QOTW: My favorite restaurant is local. I love Layla mediterranean grill & mezze. Everything is my favorite, but if I had to choose, Moroccan Chicken is my favorite. The chicken is oven roasted, bone in chicken breast rubbed spices, cooked with dried apricot and chickpeas in fragrant saffron cream sauce and served over saffron couscous. It’s so freaking delicious!

@marshmallowevening I am so very sorry. Big huge hugs
@Lacyj67 and @mm29 hugs. @refeek1 fx!!
@RunCC37 thinking positively!!
Not much going on. 15 wks today.
QOTW: A place near me called Carnivores has great bar food! Wings are the best. Obviously not healthy lol. Haven't been since PG though...food would probably make me nauseous
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)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
@marshmallowevening I am so sorry for your loss. It is the worst, and I'm sending you huge hugs.
@Lacyj67 Huge bummer on the mess up, but it does happen. I'm glad you're regrouping to cycle asap.
@mm29 I'm sorry you got cancelled. I was excited for you, but I'm glad you're looking at alternatives.
@RunCC37 -you're doing such a great job with the checkin!!! I wanted to tell you Simone's egg donor was 31
@Mrs.McIrish - Almost 27w! Wow! I'm hoping no GD for you too. FX.
@refeek1 - I did day of before/after acupuncture for my successful FET! FX this is it for you!!
--SAIF update--
Simone is 11days old! I still have moments where I cannot believe she's real, or that I grew and birthed her. She's a pretty good baby and so far, so good on the breastfeeding/sleeping, etc. front!
I sent my RE flowers when we got home from the hospital and I'm putting together a "birthday" gift for our donor. We've written letters anonymously a few times during my pregnancy and it feels right. I got her something at our transfer (Dec. 2012), but that was thanking her for her eggs. Now I want to thank her for giving me the chance to have a real baby.
Otherwise its crazy how much people say Simone looks like me! I guess time will tell. We did not pick donors who looked like me or J, though perhaps there is something to epigenetics...There is a sort of familiarity to her face, but really she kinda looks like "newborn face" more than anything.
QOTW: We live just blocks from this amazing Caribbean joint that has the best Cuban pork roast sandwich in America. If you google it (paseo Cuban roast sandwich Seattle) something like 4,000 pictures of the sandwich come up! It's in Lonely Planets guide to Seattle so it seems there are always tourists in line. But it is epic, and we know to phone in and pick up; not stand in line. Sometimes the line is (no joke) 100 people long!!!
Me (43) and J (45) - same sex couple. And we don't feel 40+!
June'12 - First RE Visit

We live in Seattle and used SRM for our donor egg IVF cycle
QOTW: I like Sirlon Marsala at Carrabba's.
Hope everyone has a great week
So so sorry your having to go thru this. It is a very hard and lost feeling. Hugs to you. You are strong and can make it thru this!
Thanks all for the love... I'm feeling sad but it is what it is and nothing I can do about it but to pick up and move forward as usual!
@2MamazInSeattle so glad your loving being a mommy!! Enjoy the precious new moments with her! Such a blessing!!
Praying unceasingly for a miracle. ALL welcome!
@marshmallowevening I am so very sorry.

Unsuccessful with my OE, moving to DE + DS
DE + DS IVF #1: Dec 2012 - BFP, nothing at first u/s
DE + DS IVF #3: 7/12/13 - BFP! Finally! No heartbeat at 7w1d.
@marshmallowevening - I'm so very sorry for your loss and all you are going through.
@lacyj67 - oh no! So sorry your cycle will be postponed and you have to do Lupron again... And the intralipids.. Ugghh! I'm disappointed for you-
@ceemonkey : sending you lots of luck for a successful transfer tomorrow!!
Update : I have my nursing consult with SIRM Thursday. I need to schedule my mock transfer, figure out how to ship our embryos and the other logistics of cycling out of state. Gotta do what I gotta do, so I'm trying not to stress too much about it.
Overall, I've been doing better lately. I'm not sure if it's because we are not actively cycling, (like I was planning on before we got my results) or because I have a little false hope that maybe this change in protocol could work.
Qotw: one of my favorite meals is at a local Mexican place. Pomegranate margarita and hard chicken tacos are the best
