One more shot at this

I had my WTF appt. today. We are going to try a new protocol. No BCP's or lupron. We're going to try estrogen priming. I'm feeling "ok". I know that if this time doesn't work, I will not have any biological children. My RE said we certainly can try again, but we may be faced with other options. Part of me is relieved. I know that if this doesn't work, we've tried everything possible. I'm also scared out of my mind because if this doesn't work, it is really over. I'm going to have to try my best to stay calm and not stress ha!. Love to you all.

Well, I'm glad you have a plan and I really hope this is it for you. I'm in the same boat as far as this being it for us, too. I've tried everything and can at least feel settled about that but there is a lot of pressure knowing that this is it too. I'm not really ready to give up, but at least I will be at peace knowing that we tried our best. Good luck to you, I hope this cycle brings you a beautiful little one.

I just did an EPP protocol for IVF, it seemed to work well for me, but this is also my first IVF, so I don't have much of a reference point.  I hope it works well for you too!!  Good luck!
TTC #1 7/10, Me (31)- Dx DOR (AMH 0.6); DH (30)- normal
BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks
IUI #1 and #2 (8/12, 9/12)- 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFNs
IVF #1 (EPP) 13R/10M/9F, 5DT 1-4AA blast, beta #1-148, beta #2-322, 5 frosties!
3/18/13 - It's a Girl!
4/18/13 - A/S- baby looks perfect, but partial placenta previa
