Thanks for you comments, you have been such a Superhero to me on this journey in life. Your strength can be felt through the web-waves. Orrin is perfection to us, and you are right the worry just changes after holding your child in your arms. I just want to hang on and never let go. HUGS

Close Infertility
We've tried all artificial reproductive techniques, did 6th IVF in May 2007 & it worked! It was our last chance for our own bio baby.
Treatments
- Repronex Somewhat Helpful
- Drug works same as Menopur.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Did 12 weekly treatments before IVF. Also did daily "moxa" or moxibustion treatments (burning Chinese herbs close to skin).
- Artificial Insemination Not Working
- 4 failed attempts before moved on to IVF.
- Basal Thermometer Somewhat Helpful
- Did this for one year straight before moving on to infertility consult.
- Clomid Somewhat Helpful
- Created several healthy looking follies but no pregnancy.
- Estrogen Patch Working / Worked
- Did what it was supposed to do to prepare uterine lining for FET. Unfortunately the embies didn't stick around.
- Folic Acid Working / Worked
- Follistim Working / Worked
- Gonal-F made lots of well-graded follies. Successful pg on last fresh IVF attempt! Made me feel very bloated and tender.
- hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
- Ouch! Had this done twice over 5 years. Didn't find any problems either time.

- Ovulation Predictor Kit Somewhat Helpful
- Progesterone Somewhat Helpful
- Injections and messy vaginal pills. I stayed on the injections into my 2nd trimester and we had success! All other times I stopped earlier, I miscarried. STAY on PROGESTERE THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE 1ST trimester!
