Adding insult to infertility

While DH and I are digesting being told to stop trying by our RE -- AND looking for a new RE, btw! -- we were just told by DH's little brother that his wife is four weeks pregnant. Did I also mention that we can't stand her? Oh yeah, there's that already, too! I seriously am considering moving. Does anyone know of any city that doesn't allow babies?

My (old) BLOG: www.ivfbabyquest.wordpress.com
TTC since Jan 2010 with OPKs. Me: 41, Hypothyroidism, hetero MTHFR C677T, hetero Factor V Leiden (no previous clots) Dx: DOR due to AMA. Rx: 100mg Levothyroxin, FaBB tab, Spring Valley Prenatal Vitamins, Vitamin D. Hubby: 34, Hyperthyroidism, Fragile X carrier, Great swimmers!
Natural PG 9/27/11; MC at 8wks. Used Cytotec to expel: 1/20/12 (unpleasant)
First RE visit: 8/8/12, Saline Sonogram: 8/28/12(4cm unknown mass in upper left of uterus) 2nd Saline Sonogram: 10/2/12 (mass disappeared!) IVF injection class: 10/11/12
IVF #1: 10/17/12 Baseline: FSH- 9.4, E2- 24, LH- 3.7, Progesterone- 0.3. 6 follicles in my right ovary & 9 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in AM. 10/21/12: Add Ganirelix SQ in PM. 10/26/12: hCG Trigger IM. ER 10/28/12: 13R, 7M, 6F. 5 Made it to PGS. ET 11/2/12: CANCELED. PGS: All 5 have "severe abnormalities." Devastated. Begged RE for back-to-back IVFs; Started Provera 11/2/12. AF said FU and came anyway, destroying any chance for a Dec IVF. Maxed out lifetime IF meds insurance. I can barely breathe, waiting to get through this process, hoping for my take-home-baby.
IVF #2: 1/7/13 Baseline: FSH- 8.8, 4 follicles in my right ovary & 6 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in PM. 1/11/13: Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. 1/16/13: hCG Trigger IM. ER 1/18/13: 9R, 5M, 5F. 2 Made it to PGS. ET 1/23/13: CANCELED. PGS: All embryos have "multiple severe abnormalities." RE recommends we stop trying and focus on living childless, due to the repeated extremely poor quality of my eggs. I don't even know what to do with that.
IVF #3- NEW RE! 100% OOP: 3/1/13 Baseline: FSH- 9.6, E2- 61, Progesterone- 0.94, 3 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in PM. 3/7/13: Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. hCG Trigger 3/9/13 SQ. 3/11/13 ER: 6R, 2M, 2F. Day 3: one 8 cell, grade 0. 3/16/13 Five day ET: one early blast, grade Fair. 3/24/13 Started period a day before beta. BFN.
IVF #4 (FINAL) (Added acupuncture to this cycle.): 3/25/13 WTF & Baseline: FSH-11.8, E2- 56, Progesterone- 0.84 3/26/13 Start stims. 3/30/13 u/s: 5 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left. Rx: 225 Bravelle & 225 Menopur SQ in PM. 3/31/13 Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. hCG Trigger 4/3/13 SQ. 4/5/13 ER: 5R, 3M, 3F naturally. Day 3: two 8 cell, grade 0, one 8 cell, grade 2 (Scale 0-best to 3-worst). 4/10/13 Five day ET: two blastocysts (the 3rd stopped growing.) 4/18/13 Beta: 2.5 BFFN.
No DE or adoption for us, FIRM.
That’s it for us. I am beyond devastated and have no idea how to proceed from here. My life has been forever altered by this experience. Best wishes to all in their journeys!

That would feel like a knife to the heart. *HUG*

I'm so sorry this is all happening to you at once. I agree with PP, there are lots of adults-only vacation spots that might be good for a getaway if you can swing it.
Me (31) DH (35) - Finding our path to baby #1
Me: POF/DOR - AMH <0.16, heterozygous c677t MTHFR
DH: Severe MFI
12/2/11 - IUI #1- BFN
8/1/12 - IVF #1 - Zero response from max stims (600iu intramuscularly)
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!

Ugh, awful timing!!! Salt in wound. Hugs!!!

I have said many times I wanted to do a real estate subdivision project where only infertiles can live-- truly the CFNBC people. You cannot be trying and you have to be approved for admittance. No kids riding their bikes outside or throwing the ball  into your yard... 

TTC #1 since 8/1/10; Me:39 and BRCA1+, DH:45
DOR (FSH 24.3)/ terrible egg quality
5 IUI's: 2/11 to 6/11 and 1/12= BFN
OE IVF#1-4 8/11-6/12= all BFN
DE IVF#5 11/12 bad embryos= BFFN
FINAL DE IVF #6 1/13: cancelled as second donor backed out during stims
Was added last minute as 3rd recipient to new donor on 1/18; ET1/23/13
2/1/13 BFP for the first time ever; Beta hell for several weeks: miscarriage 7 wks
CFNBC ...Me &You, Just Us Two...

I'm sorry. I know how you feel. Everywhere are babies... My DH 'surprised' me with a visit with some old friends on Saturday night because I've been a little cranky and he was trying to be nice.. And, he had them bring their 2 year old twins. Ugh. Really? (And he had no idea why I was upset after they left)..  

Anywho, I wish you luck going forward. I'm in similar shoes as yours I think. I haven't been told to stop trying yet thankfully but I'm worried that is what will be recommended at my wtf appt next week. It looks like I must have crappy egg quality, too. I didn't want to risk PGS because I only had 2 embies growing each time, but I'm sure the results would have been bad. We arent considering DE or adoption rither. May I ask what you are thinking of doing now? I'm in Michigan as well and I was just curious if you have found a great clinic to help you? I am thinking of switching as well and I'm not sure to where..

Me: 35, DH: 36, ttc: 3+ years, dx: unknown
10/11: after 2 years, saw a RE, FSH 5.4
11/11: BFP! (surprise after thyroid med & normal hsg),
12/11: missed m/c after 7 week u/s,
1/12: D&C,
6/12 IUI #1: clomid, 5 mature follicles, excellent sperm,= BFN,
7/12: IUI #2: clomid, 3 mature follicles, excellent sperm= BFN,
8/12: IUi #3: clomid, 5 follicles, = BFP!, C/P
10/12 IVF #1: FSH 5.4, estradiol AFC: 14, long Lupron 150/bravelle75,5R/5M/4F, all 4 made it to 5dt, 1 blast and 1 8 cell transferred. No frosties. BFN
IVF #2: AFC 21, MD lupron 12/25, 225bravelle/150men, 4R/4M/3F, 5dt of 1 blast BFN

So so sorry - I can completely understand the devastation.  And then the insult to injury of the "news".  I agree that you should seek out another RE.  But I would make sure you get all of your medical records so that you can do consultations with them before trying again.  Also, be careful, there are some REs that will continue to take your cash when things aren't working.  Its a fine line to walk. 

 I would strongly suggest a vacation with DH and agree with others on the adult only locations.  Or even just a road trip to somewhere if you can't afford anything like a fancy resort (I see you maxed out your insurance). 

GL!

We went on an adult only vacation.  I was getting down after a few years of trying with no luck so dh planned it.  It was Excellence Punta Cana.  It was like a love booster shot.  Quiet, peaceful, more booze than anyone should have access too, great food.  And when you got back to your room they would have the tub filled with bubbles and flower petals or petals on the bed.  Even the rooms that were not ocean side looked over a beautiful tropical view.

I am so sorry about what the re said and the new family news.  Uggh, when it rains it pours.  I am so glad that you are going to a new re.  Good luck I hope that this one kicks the other one's butt and you can rub a baby in the bad re's face one day!

We just went to the Majestic Ellegance in Punta Cana last October as a "getaway from it all vacation" after a devastating IVF cycle. We considered the Excellence Punta Cana but unfortunately they were booked for the week we were going to to. The Majestic is NOT an adults only and I was SO regretting not having just found adults only in our situation. I sat on the beach and watched moms and dads play gleefully with their kids, splashing in the water. There were special kids shows and kids activities going on.

OP - Speaking from first hand experience, if you have a chance to go somewhere like the Excellence Punta Cana or another adults only place, do it. I can't recommend adults-only enough! Otherwise it's not a getaway at all.

Oh no, I'm so sorry, that really sucks ((hugs)) SILs are hard enough to deal with, but when you can't stand them and they're pregnant, that just sounds horrible! You both deserve a vacation.

I am thinking of switching as well and I'm not sure to where..


Wow! I think I would knock my DH out if he did that to me right now!
Regarding the rest, I will send you a PM! :)

TTC since Jan 2010 with OPKs. Me: 41, Hypothyroidism, hetero MTHFR C677T, hetero Factor V Leiden (no previous clots) Dx: DOR due to AMA. Rx: 100mg Levothyroxin, FaBB tab, Spring Valley Prenatal Vitamins, Vitamin D. Hubby: 34, Hyperthyroidism, Fragile X carrier, Great swimmers!
Natural PG 9/27/11; MC at 8wks. Used Cytotec to expel: 1/20/12 (unpleasant)
First RE visit: 8/8/12, Saline Sonogram: 8/28/12(4cm unknown mass in upper left of uterus) 2nd Saline Sonogram: 10/2/12 (mass disappeared!) IVF injection class: 10/11/12
IVF #1: 10/17/12 Baseline: FSH- 9.4, E2- 24, LH- 3.7, Progesterone- 0.3. 6 follicles in my right ovary & 9 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in AM. 10/21/12: Add Ganirelix SQ in PM. 10/26/12: hCG Trigger IM. ER 10/28/12: 13R, 7M, 6F. 5 Made it to PGS. ET 11/2/12: CANCELED. PGS: All 5 have "severe abnormalities." Devastated. Begged RE for back-to-back IVFs; Started Provera 11/2/12. AF said FU and came anyway, destroying any chance for a Dec IVF. Maxed out lifetime IF meds insurance. I can barely breathe, waiting to get through this process, hoping for my take-home-baby.

RE recommends we stop trying and focus on living childless, due to the repeated extremely poor quality of my eggs. I don't even know what to do with that.
IVF #3- NEW RE! 100% OOP: 3/1/13 Baseline: FSH- 9.6, E2- 61, Progesterone- 0.94, 3 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left.

Day 3: one 8 cell, grade 0. 3/16/13 Five day ET: one early blast, grade Fair. 3/24/13 Started period a day before beta. BFN.
IVF #4 (FINAL) (Added acupuncture to this cycle.): 3/25/13 WTF & Baseline: FSH-11.8, E2- 56, Progesterone- 0.84 3/26/13 Start stims. 3/30/13 u/s: 5 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left. Rx: 225 Bravelle & 225 Menopur SQ in PM. 3/31/13 Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. hCG Trigger 4/3/13 SQ. 4/5/13 ER: 5R, 3M, 3F naturally.

No DE or adoption for us, FIRM.
That’s it for us. I am beyond devastated and have no idea how to proceed from here. My life has been forever altered by this experience. Best wishes to all in their journeys!

Gross.  Obnoxious SIL's blow.  I recommend wearing something that shows off your svelt non-pregnant shape and holding a giant wine glass whenever you have to interact with her.  If you can work in your luxurious sleep schedule and active social life that earns bonus points. 
TTC since August 2010
DH diagnosed with Azoospermia in January 2012
Vas reconstruction surgery in April 2012; unsuccessful
IVF with ICSI February 2013; single blastocyst 5dt
First beta March 1 is 147!!!
