Hi ladies,
This is my first time on DS. I recently finished my first IVF cycle with PGD. I had four embryos but after the PGD it was determined that only one was healthy, a little girl. The waiting has been torture and yesterday we got a BFN. I've been so discouraged.
I have had 6 miscarriages over the past four years and have one beautiful little son who is 2 and half. It seems most likely that I have many eggs with chromosome abnormalities - we knew that was the case for sure with two of the babies.
I will start my second round of IVF in July. Anyone else?
This journey has been so long, and with so much grief. I don't want to do this alone anymore or hide my miscarriages.
I'm so glad there is a place like this online.

I go again on Wed for Prog & Beta again. Next step after that is u/s. So excited ;)
Mrsryan, I'm not as big as a house YET :D There are still several months before that happens lol. And just so you know, I happen to work with a girl who only transferred 1 embryo (she only had one shot) and she is a week away from her due date. So it can work!!
Erin- i am not sure which protocol i am on exactly. right now i am on 300 follistim and 75 menopur. ill be adding in ganirelix at some point.
TTC- thanks for the info, and happy TWW...if there ever was such a thing... lol:)
Gator- glad you got some good feedback and support from your friends, so many of my friends have been so helpful in getting me through this.
Nae- you made me LOL, thanks:) our weekend away was PERFECT and just what i needed! i actually forgot about IV for more than a few minutes at a time! it totally relaxed me, and it worked out well doing my meds each night at the hotel. I think you should wait on deciding toPOAS until you actually can, and then decide.
Mrs Ryan- i think you made the right choice. I have heard of lots of people getting pregnant off of only one! praying this will be the cycle for you and your one beautiful baby!
Karan- YAY! YAy! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAYYYYYY!!!!! :)
Road- hang in there and keep up the positive attitude. the time btw my canceled cycle and new one flew by!
Bfilx- so happy for you! treasure that morning sickness for the rest of us :-)
Hoping- you can do it!! we all know what you are going through, and its not easy. but everyone else gets through it and you can too! i found preping the meds, then resting a bit with ice and going back to inject helps me relaxed in the process. and music.
Laurie- i saw you appear back on DS today- hope you are doing well girl
And for me- my RE office is donating the meds that my stupid insurance pharmacy forgot to send so that is a relief to my head and my wallet. i go for my next u/s on Wednseday. i am feeling a little better about the larger follie after hearing from some DS sisters- thank you!
XOXO
roadfullof- THANK you yes I agree you are absolutely right i would beat myself up either way I would have gone. That helped ease my mind a little what's done is done right? I also agree that IF makes me BATTY!!!
BLFIX07- Thank you MORE than you know for telling me about your friend that only implanted 1 and is almost due. I am having a hard time accepting that we only put 1 in. Like i told road full above what's done is done right? Also judging by your picture you will never get as big as a house. Also I have an AWESOME girlfriend that was on here with me for my first round of this that got preggo with trips and she has a blog Ill tell you about it if you are interested : ) SO awesome to watch her from the beginning and they are 2 now. She talks about everything!
Hoping4ba- I was doing the lupron 10 units micro dose flair protocol and it worked the best for me so cheers to your beginning!! Best of luck to you.
KarenRobe- HOW THRILLING!!! I'm waiting for more awesome news from you tomorrow!!! Make sure to keep us updated!
JA - I'm glad you had a good restful weekend. I'm so glad your clinic is coming through for you on the meds. IVF is stressful enough without worrying whether or not you have all the meds.
Mrsryan - I totally agree with JA. All it takes is one. I can't imagine the pain of two implanting and having to choose one. You took all the wisdom of the people around you and did your best for your babies. Hugs and prayers!
Road - I hope you're doing ok. Canceling is the pits, well this whole thing is. Hugs to you too!
Good luck to all you ladies. This trip is all about hurry up and wait and we're all in a waiting period of some sort. As for me AF FINALLY showed up 5 days post BCPs. So tomorrow is my baseline ultrasound. I'm a little anxious since the last two were canceled part way through due to very low follicle count. Are the stimms making anyone else feel kinda fat? I'm a curvy girl to begin with but I'm feeling like a chunky monkey. Wah!
Erin- glad AF showed her face- now lets get the show on the road.
JA- im so happy i made you laugh :0) hows the meds going?
Mrsryan- one emby equals one baby :-) major prayers to you.
Laurie- im so so happy you peeked in- we miss you and know your recoping for your next journey.
Jewels- Good luck with those meds- grow follies grow!
Ttc- hey there my tww buddy, how are you?
Me- well ladies im 7dp3dT and well my lower belly is kinda achy... Not always but it does have an odd feeling too it... I get very infrequent twinges, and a few belly button pulls and thats it. I dont feel much different and the urge to bite dh head clean off is subsiding for the most part... I am doing good not wanting to test too bad .. I have thought about it a few times but not psycho like. Yesterday i wanted to test but that was because my sisters 23 yo bestie just sent a photo of a positive pregnancy test. The luck of some :0( but its ok...my bfp is near:0)
Ok ladies lets all keep pushing forward, believing in our dream,have a great night/day
And flytrap sticky baby dust to each and everyone of you
Erin- glad AF arrived! i feel a little extra bloated on the meds too.
to those on your TWW- one more day down! :)
