  • @airidh80 congrats! Awesome news. So happy to be seeing BFPs. Gives the rest of us so much hope.

    Oh and your question about paragraph breaks. I'm on an iPad too. When you are typing, the toolbar area has a white button with 2 red brackets on the right side. Click that and then add your returns.

  • Congrats @CMH25! That's amazing :). I'm hoping for you! I'm waiting until 7dp5dt to test.

    @Jzyla fx for you and hugs.

    starlightgator congrats on the great numbers! Was there any change in your protocol between IVF #1 and 2?

    Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

    We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

  • @Justone13‌ and @ChristieH917‌, can one of you remove me from the Sweet Peas. My RE called me first thing this morning with bad news.

  • @CMH25 I'm so glad it's worked out for one of us. You deserve it!

    Mine was still clearly negative this morning. I'm so depressed. There are a lot of stories online about people who didn't get a positive HPT before their Beta, but I know they are the exceptional minority. I don't mean to drag down the board's positivity, but I'm feeling pretty hopeless right now. This was our last chance. Beta Friday morning and should know by the afternoon.
    30 yrs, healthy & TTC since April 2010 
    DH 32yrs & healthy
    *unexplained infertility* 

    Regularly access alternative medicine to supplement a lack of resources in our geographical area.
    • Three rounds of clomid (50mg days 3-7) were useless.
    • IUI#1 w/clomid & HCG in May 2013, BFN.
    • IUI#2 w/clomid & HCG on July 23rd. BFN.
    • IUI #3 in August cancelled last minute, due to lab error.
    • IVF#1 - Started Gonal F stims October 13 2013 for IUI. Over-responded with too many follicles, so converted to IVF. Retrieval October 29th - got 5 eggs, 4 fertilized. Had 2 perfect little embryos transferred on day 3 (Nov. 1). The remaining 2 didn't survive to freeze. Got our BFN on November 13th 2013.
    • IVF#2 - Started stims August 21st. Triggered with Suprefact, started on dostinex due to risk of OHSS. Retrieval September 5th - got 27 eggs! 21 embryos on day 3. Embryos deteriorated quickly. ESet 5day blast on Sept 10. No embryos high enough quality to freeze. BFN came Sept. 22.

    Reserved a semi-known proven donor in August .

    Waiting for consult/screening and protocols with estimated fresh cycle timing in October

  • You guys, loving the positivity! It's giving me hope. I keep bouncing back and forth with what I think is going on in my uterus. I'm too afraid to POAS.

    No pocket of four leaf clovers, BUT I do have a fertility rock on my bedside table:)

    Congrats to all the BFPs!

    I'm sorry @Jzyla‌ I'm crossing my fingers for you and all the sweetpeas who are still in progress!
  • @jzyla I'm saying every prayer I can for you. I am so terribly sorry that you have to go through this. IF isn't fair and it just down right sucks!! I wish I could give you a real hug. Just know I'm thinking of ya!
