      Well 13 was not the magic number.  The RE's office says 3-6 with a donor that was #3.  I just hate this.  I want a baby so bad and …

    • Little Love

      From StGerard Saturday

      Just wanted to say hi! How are you doing? I just had my 2nd failed IVF (chemical again). What did the Dr. in NY do differently? I am wondering if I should even try again Honestly, maybe my eggs are just terrible. I want my own biological children but it seems like embryo donor is my option. UGGHHH. I am still so sad from the news yesterday. I hope you are doing well.

      You are making the effort and in the end it will pay off! Change is not easy but it will happen if thats what you want deep in your heart. I will continue praying for you and I have to tell you I am so proud of you! You are moving in the right direction!

      From CLynMomtoBe April 28

      Welcome to the group. I know you never imagined it would take this direction, neither did I. I did 5 fresh cycles /IVF's with my own eggs... my RE encouraged me to use donor after the 4th. It was a huge mental adjustment. It takes time and talking openly to your DH. The women in the group are so open and supportive, I think you will feel welcome. Post any questions while your trying to figure this all out and decide....you will get some great feedback I am sure. Let me know if you need anything.

    • Close Infertility

      I was married before to a loving man who did not want children and I did. So after a third of my life together, we divorced. I was lucky to marry again, to a man who already had three children and wanted more. Well after a year and a half, he has significant male infertility issues! After 6 shot cycles we are now looking at IVF. Update - we have now passed the two year TTC and everyone I know who had infertility has a baby:-)

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      I have been inseminated five times. The first time was extremely painful! It has gotten better each time. I learned (the hard way) ask for a stiff catheter
      Clomid Too Soon to Tell
      My doctor feels that Clomid is a step backwards for me. It is hard when everyone I know who has tried it has gotten pregnant with clomid. My husband is on clomid now...
      Follistim Not Working
      This was not recommended for me and I did six cycles of shots for an entire year. I have been accepted for IVF but can't start until March. That makes me sad to wait so long...
      In Vitro Fertilization Considering
      I would like to have IVF but am worried because my Dr. said they will only do two tries! I am very worried because I see many people need more - this has me very worried
      Lupron Working / Worked
      I responded very well to shots; however, with male infertility it doesn't matter how I did.
