- I just have to vent for a minute. Yesterday my DH told me his friend's wife is pregnant. Turns out she got pg 3 weeks into their marriage. Then today my mentor/trainer at my new job announced she was pregnant. My eyes seriously teared up right...
- I know this topic comes up often but I am currently struggling with the decision to spend our entire savings on IVF. We have enough in our savings account to do a 70% refund program where you get 3 fresh and 3 frozen cycles and if you don't have a...
- I'm considering taking the next step and doing IVF. I just started a new job so I can't do it anytime soon. Can anyone tell me how much time I'd need to take off work to go through an IVF cycle?Thanks!
- My 2ww ended early once again with AF. It came at work and I just wanted to curl up and cry. I managed to hold back the tears all day until I got home. I'm so angry, depressed, sad and frustrated....just about every emotion except happy. I'm...
- I am on day 4 of my 2ww after an IUI. This is the first cycle I have been on progesterone. I'm using a vaginal cream called Crinone. I don't know what type of side effects to expect from it. My breasts have been hurting and I'm wondering if this...
- I have a friend who did 2 IUIs and was successful both times. She told me when the doctor leaves the room and she's supposed to lay there and rest she lays there with her legs up in the air. Does anyone else ever do this? I'm wondering if she's...
- I talked my RE into putting me on progesterone. He has prescribed Crinone which is a vaginal cream. I've heard that progesterone injections require a pretty big needle so the cream sounded better to me. I was just wondering if anyone that's been...
- On June 8th I found out I had a chemical pregnancy when my beta went from 82 down to 25. My period was also very strange that month. I had what I thought was a period on May 25 and then it came again 11 days later. Counting from the second period...
- Today is cd 36. I finally gave in and tested first thing this morning. ONE stupid line stared me in the face...BFN!! :( I have been resisting testing ever since cd28. We did not do treatment this cycle but I thought maybe we'd get a miracle. ...
- On my last IUI (my 7th), something unusual happened. The per milliliter post wash sperm numbers went up! We started with something like 35 million per ml with 3 milliliters. Then the final number was 45 million per ml but it was only .5...
- I've been thinking a lot lately that maybe we need take the next step and start IVF. Of course the main thing standing in the way is money. Our insurance covers meds and ultrasounds but it does not cover any of the procedures like IUI or IVF. ...
- I'm sorry to be bringing this topic up again! A couple weeks ago I posted something similar. My RE tells me that since I'm on Follistim and a trigger shot I do not need progesterone and he never checks it. I have had 2 miscarriages and 2 chemical...
- I just found this article about embryo donation. This is not something that I'm considering but I found the article very touching. I think it'd be interesting for anyone going through IF. It's very long but really...
- I live in this area and I'm seriously considering switching REs. I go to Dr. Awadalla and I was wondering if any of you go to someone else in the area that you like. If you have an recommendations I'd love to hear them. Even if you go to Dr. A....
- After being told each of my 4 m/c's were "flukes" I am desperate to find an answer. Has anyone here been diagnosed with a luteal phase defect? I have read online that if there is less than 12 days between ovulation and AF it can be a problem. On...
