    • About Me

      I'm 34 and have been married 14 years. I am a Clinical Nurse Specialist (kind of like a nurse practitioner) in endocrinology (but not the reproductive kind), as I do heart attack prevention through lipid and metabolic syndrome treatment. I have two dogs and one cat. We have had four IVF failures. Gee, I keep having to update this stupid thing with my most recent failure. I'm sick of it.

      Well, transfer is complete.

       

      The doctor that did the transfer (not my normal doctor, who was out of town) came into the transfer room with a big …

    Give AshleyPenelope a hug



    • Hug

      From Shanny2007 Yesterday

      Just a hug in case you need one... thinking of you.

    • Sympathy

      From LA17 Yesterday

      I tried to leave a message on your blog but it won't work for me, so I wanted to say here that I'm just so sorry. Every one of us has wanted this for you and I just hate that this didn't work. Thinking of you, Leslie

      From auntieweewee Yesterday

      Ashley, I don't know what to say. I'm sorry doesn't seem to cut it. This is wrong. It's a travesty. It's incomprehensible and I am angry that this didn't work for you. I know everything is so raw right now, but please don't count out other paths to parenthood if that is the desire of your heart. I PROMISE you, once you have a child in your arms, it won't matter if that child is biologically linked to you or not-trust me. But don't make any of those decisions today. For now, hold tight to one another, get through the grief anyway you can and know that one day soon the sun will come out. Until them I am here in anyway I can be and you are in my thoughts and prayers-truly I can't stop thinking about you and Lee and wish I could be there...if only just to give you a hug. Wendy

    • Close Infertility

      Found out 10/02 that our first IVF with ICSI did not work. Found out 2/2/08 that our second IVF with ICSI also did not work. Found out 4/5/08 that third IVF with ICSI did not work. Fourth IVF? Guess what? It didn't work either. Depressing.

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      Three cycles did not work
      Clomid Not Working
      Never worked as far as pregnancy was concerned.
      In Vitro Fertilization Not Working
      Our first cycle failed, our second cycle failed. Our third cycle failed. Our fourth cycle failed. Tired of this broken record.
