Nothing exciting going on with me.  I’ve been in a really weird space lately.  Not at all in the mood for Christmas, haven’t even put up a tree.  We put up our outside decorations so our neighbors don’t starting gossiping about us but that’s about it.  


Our donor has cancelled two of her appointments and that of course is not helping my mindset.  We were so sure there wouldn’t be an issue with her as she is a multiple donor but maybe that was naive. We decided last night to start looking at profiles again in case she bails.  



TTC #1
Dx = AMA/DOR, hypothyroid, submucosal fibroid, adenomyosis, mild MFI
IUI#1-3 = BFN
IVF #1 (EPP Antagonist); 3R, 2M, 1F; 3dt of one 12-cell embryo = BFN
IVF #2 (EPP MDLF); 6R, 4M, 3F; 3dt of 1-7 cell, 1-8 cell & 1-10 cell = BFP; confirmed C/P @ 4w2d
Genetic carrier screening negative (CF, Fragile X, SMA, Tay Sachs)
Karyotyping, autoimmune & thrombophilia panels all normal
IVF#3 (DE); 13R, 12M, 8F; 5dt of two “excellent quality” blasts = BFP
Beta#1 = 203, Beta #2 = 81, Beta #3 = 17; confirmed C/P @ 5w1d

Tomorrow morning we will meet the new RE that will do our FET. I'm hoping to get some cycle dates lined up and come up with some kind of a plan.

And on another note, I am 99% sure I figured out who the original donors of our embryos are by doing a quick google search for some specific terms. Our donor "V" got the embryos from these original donors 5 years ago. I can say with 99.9999999% certainty that I found them because they were in the media in the mid 2000s so there was a ton of details about them. They had the same doctor that our donor V used and other charactaristics about what we know of them match this family EXACTLY. Once I started digging, I found they had a facebook page and their kids look exactly like the little boy born from the batch to V. I'd like to tell V what I found, but as you can imagine I am hesitant even though I don't think the original donors have any legal stake in the game, I just would hate for there to be any drama.

I would love for us all to openly known each other one day though. Since they were so open with their story in the meda, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be shocked if we approached them down the road. And I'm also pretty sure V wishes she knew who they were because she's always talking about how she'd love to thank them. What would you do?? Crazy situation that only those of us involved with ART could even imagine we'd be in!


Me (31) DH (35) - Finding our path to baby #1

My ovaries seem to be just for decoration

12/6/12 - Adopted five embryos that had been frozen for over ten years!
2/11/13 - Thawed four, sadly two didn't survive. Transferred two beautiful blasts.

2/16/13 - First BFP of my life!
3/27/13 - No heartbeat at 9w0d. D&C the following day.

4/23/13 - Matched to adopt five new embryos!

I was thinking about you yesterday! I went to TTC35 to try to find an update from you. I'm with you on the weird space/non-Christmasy feelings. I hope you start feeling better!

Oh, no I hope she get's her act together! I'm sure it's very stressful for you. ((hugs))

Good luck tomorrow! I hope you love the new RE and the dates work out good for you.

If it were me I'd wait until much later down the road. I wouldn't risk any drama or unforeseeable trouble.

Thanks sweetie!  I hope you feel better too.  Don’t you just wish you could push a fast forward button and magically arrive at January 2nd...  That’s how I feel anyway.

Glueck checking in, now 3.5dp5dt. On sunday morning, we transferred 2 hatching grade a blastocysts. The transfer was really smooth and painless, and the clinic was amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. I had a 5000iu pregnyl hcg shot after transfer, making early testing for this POAS-aholic a real issue. (Still hasn't stopped me!) 

I have had some on an off cramping since 2dp5dt, and I am just hoping and praying..and BEGGING that its our turn.

Nothing exciting going on with me.  I’ve been in a really weird space lately.  Not at all in the mood for Christmas, haven’t even put up a tree.  We put up our outside decorations so our neighbors don’t starting gossiping about us but that’s about it.  


Our donor has cancelled two of her appointments and that of course is not helping my mindset.  We were so sure there wouldn’t be an issue with her as she is a multiple donor but maybe that was naive. We decided last night to start looking at profiles again in case she bails.  


Oh Sweetie - I am so sorry. I hope she just had something come up and will get right on board!

Tomorrow morning we will meet the new RE that will do our FET. I'm hoping to get some cycle dates lined up and come up with some kind of a plan.

And on another note, I am 99% sure I figured out who the original donors of our embryos are by doing a quick google search for some specific terms. Our donor "V" got the embryos from these original donors 5 years ago. I can say with 99.9999999% certainty that I found them because they were in the media in the mid 2000s so there was a ton of details about them. They had the same doctor that our donor V used and other charactaristics about what we know of them match this family EXACTLY. Once I started digging, I found they had a facebook page and their kids look exactly like the little boy born from the batch to V. I'd like to tell V what I found, but as you can imagine I am hesitant even though I don't think the original donors have any legal stake in the game, I just would hate for there to be any drama.

I would love for us all to openly known each other one day though. Since they were so open with their story in the meda, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be shocked if we approached them down the road. And I'm also pretty sure V wishes she knew who they were because she's always talking about how she'd love to thank them. What would you do?? Crazy situation that only those of us involved with ART could even imagine we'd be in!

Hey Liz - I probably wouldn't only because I would be too scared too freak them out. Sort of like someone invading my family life - but that is just me. I totally would have done the same thing you did - google the heck out of them ... lol

glueck:

Glueck checking in, now 3.5dp5dt. On sunday morning, we transferred 2 hatching grade a blastocysts. The transfer was really smooth and painless, and the clinic was amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. I had a 5000iu pregnyl hcg shot after transfer, making early testing for this POAS-aholic a real issue. (Still hasn't stopped me!) 

I have had some on an off cramping since 2dp5dt, and I am just hoping and praying..and BEGGING that its our turn.

 

Woo Hoo - I can't wait to hear - I know it is going to be happy news! I had the same HCG shot so it is going to eff up my POAS habit!
