Hi all,

Well, ER was Monday. They only got 4 eggs which bummed me out. Then only 2 fertilized, which is really disappointing too. I got a call this morning that they want to do a 3dt, which also leads me to believe that they aren't good quality. So, ET is tomorrow morning. Holding out hope that this isn't over.
TTC since 9/2011
Me: DOR (AMH = .3) & blocked rt tube DH: Slightly low morph
1 IUI = BFN
1 Clomid Cycle = BFN
IVF #1 w/ICSI, only 2 viable eggs. 7A & 8A 3dt = BFN

** ticker warning **

 

Hi ladies!  Good luck to everyone cycling right now and ((hugs)) to anyone that needs them!

Update: I'm at 9w2d, had my first OB appt this morning, and I'm done with the RE except for finishing weaning off the Endometrin and Vivelle.  All my u/s's have looked good, right on track, so I'm feeling less stressed.  The nausea sucks, but lately it has been coming and going more often, so at least I don't feel crappy all the time.  I can't wait to hit 2nd Tri.  

QOTW: My quote is in my siggy on the picture! :-)   
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

We are in our 2ww for iui2. We are scheduled for beta on Tuesday next week.

Our RE is recommending injectables to hopefully drum up more than one folly if this cycle doesnt take, so I think our plan will be to take a month off in Feb, and the proceed with either injectables or an increased clomid dose in March.

Qotw: mostly I just keep repeating to myself that there is life after ART!
Same sex couple - 31 years old - donor sperm, carrying our first due to dx of DOR/POF in Nov. 2012.

Low AMH, AFC - 6, Normal FSH, SS-A (RO) Antibodies (Autoimmune issues), tubes clear

IUI# 1 - December 19 - Done too early (24-36hrs before Ovulation) - BFN

IUI# 2 - January 16 - Femara + HCG trigger - BFN

IUI# 3 - March - 150-225iui Puregon, stimmed 16 days with only 1 follicle - nearly missed surge so no trigger - Progesterone - BFN.

IUI # 4 - "Pokey-Pokey" April 9 - 100mg Clomid CD 3-7, HCG Trigger + Progesterone - 2 follicles! IUI done after one O'd and before the 2nd one did. - BFN

...Moving on to trying to get my Partner pregnant with donor sperm. Hoping to come back and try with me, or do IVF with my DP's eggs eventually. My nerves are too frazzled for now

Hey ladies!

I am on estrogen/ganirelix now. The ganirelix really stings and it's really rashy for a few hours after the shot. Ugh. I go in for my baseline on friday and assuming all is good, I start stims that day. Eeek!

This is one of my favorites recently -

Good luck to everyone cycling or in the 2ww!

Hi everyone.  I've been completely MIA for a couple months.  I figured I needed to give myself a bump break considering we are just waiting for more sperm.

I received a phone call from my RE following the report that was sent to her from our urologist.  She is recommending that we freeze sperm now.  She also wanted us to talk to the urologist regarding this and see what he thought.  DH didn't seem interested in this at all when I mentioned it to him.  His response was, if the numbers are getting better, what's the point to freeze now and pay for it if we can wait and freeze later when we get more.  I think the point was that we need to freeze some now in case later there isn't any again.

Our next uro appointment is in March so I guess we will wait until then.  I lurk occasionally but I don't post much because obviously nothing is happening.  I wish you all luck all the time though and I think about you often.
