    • About Me

      We've been TTC since December 2006. We were turned over to an RE in June of 2007. Since then, we've done 1 natural IUI, 1 medicated IUI w/injectables, 1 IVF, 1 FET and onto our second IVF mid Nov/December 2008. We just learned that I have a rare blood disorder where my blood is very thick and prohibits implantation so our doctors are now working with us to insure that i am receiving the proper medications to aid in this blood disorder and get me pregnant! Just lost my father (60) in March 08 and my mom was just diagnosed with Colon Cancer (57). One big nightmare! BFP on 12/23, thank you g-d!!

Received a BFN!!! Had another hysteroscopy in October of 08 to remove 3 polyps that had developed in my uterus, then onto IVF fresh cycle #2. 9 eggs retrieved, 5 mature, 4 fertilized and 3 transferred back on day 3. Beta test on 12/23. BFP!! We are overjoyed and thrilled!

        Treatments

        Artificial Insemination Not Working
        We went through a "natural" IUI this past month (January & Feb). It didn't work. We went through 2 rounds of IUI w/ injectables and they didn't work. We'll be heading back to IVF in the Fall of 08.
        Estrogen Patch Working / Worked
        Vivelle-Dot. Very emotional and bloating as side effects. Working so far...
        Follistim Working / Worked
        I've been put on both Bravelle and Menopur. Both have worked really well in stimming me. Minimal to no side effets.

        It seems to work and I have little to no side effects from this (thank goodness!)
        HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
        Painful but it showed that my tubes were clear!
        Hysteroscopy Working / Worked
        Had this surgery along twice. Once to remove a uterian septum and another time to remove polyps. Relatively easy surgery w/a quick recovery!

        First IVF in September 07. Fet cycle in December 07, and second IVF cycle in Nov/Dec 08.

      • Close Bereavement

        My father just passed on 3/25 from a very aggressive form of lung cancer (never smoked a day in his life!) He just turned 61 on March 7th. I can't believe he is gone and i miss him so much. I need to grieve, pick up the pieces and still continue to live life. Does it get any easier?
