3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Strawberry13]

Oh I'm glad you don't have to do any meds on top of everything else. I hope you're doing ok today, hang in there sweetie.

They retrieved 15 eggs so I'm happy about that, but doubt they're all mature as they weren't all showing up on the sono. I will keep everyone posted on the report tomorrow!

Mrs T I never heard if CNY is that in NYC? I live in ny so I'm curious, I know a few places in the area do the program where you get a certain amount of cycles for one price.

Strawberry, 15 is wonderful, even if they aren't all mature. Are you doing ICSI? Rest up and keep us posted.

MrsT, I'm so sorry about your beta. I wish I could just snap my fingers and make everybody pregnant instantly, it's just so painful to go through all of this.

Babywish, I'm relieved that things are happening on their own, but it doesn't make it any easier I know.

 

[Mrs. T]

Strawberry13, they have 3 locations in NY state (Albany, Syracuse & Rochester ).

Yes, we decided to do icsi our new doctor thinks its our best bet. Now that I got more eggs than I was expecting i kinda wish we had told them 1/2 and 1/2 but they have all the info so I'll let them decide!

Hello Ladies,

Well I have some sad news I had my ultrasound this morning and there was no gestational sac. My beta number came back at 143 which is low considering I should be 6.5 weeks pregnant by now. The other concern is a tubal pregnancy as the RE saw a cyst like formation on one of my ovaries and there is some fluid in my uterus which could be blood. They don't really think its a tubal cuz I dont have any pain besides cramps. I didnt even know a tubal was possible with IVF but apparently its a slim possibility. I was devestated at all of this and started crying. I know I didnt have the best chance but hearing all of this was too much for me. I couldn't even ask any further questions my DH had to take over. So tomorrow and Wed I have to take two more blood tests. They are hoping my HcG numbers go down on their own, if they don't have i have to go to the hospital and take something called methotextrate(sp) to induce a miscarriage. How can this happen? I'm so gutted right now and just feel devestated. I can't seem to stop crying. Please pray my miscarriage is natural and I don't have to suffer any longer.

I am just catching up now. I am so sorry this is happening for you. I hope this will just happen naturally for you and not have to take the medication. I am praying for you

 

[Chris_25]

Beta was today and it was confirmed negative as I thought. Good luck with everything girls.

Ugh I am so sorry! Many hugs to you

Wow that's great! Are you thinking about doing this?

Yay! 15! So happy everything went well and you feel good! I want to know details as to what to expect!

Finished BC pills Sunday and got my period today and go in Thursday for blood and sono.

 

[Mrs. T]

Yeah Chris_25, but not until next year.

 

[Maverick007]

glad you're getting started Chris! hoping for great news soon!

 

[PinkPeony]

Mrs T - that's really good! That's less than what I paid for my one cycle.
Either way I think switching docs is a good call. The one thing that seemed kind of strange to me was that they kept threatening to cancel your cycle when you seemed to have a number of follicles. I feel like if they increased your dose they might have grown a bit better. I'm no doctor of course, but I'm sure your next doctor will be able to look at this cycle and see where they could do things differently.

Strawberry - 15 is awesome! Looking forward to hearing your fert report. For me this was the most nerve-racking part... waiting for the phone calls.

 

[Mrs. T]

Yeah that cycle was very frustrating!

The prices were good at the NY clinic eh? And the one in Mexico is $5000 for IVF/ICSI including cycle monitoring (and I think meds) and they have a warrantee. If you don't get pregnant from your first cycle, they do a second one for free, you just pay the meds.

 

[Strawberry13]

I agree on switch docs, def good to get another perspective on things. I've heard a lot if clinics in the US that particpate in the attain program that are similar to what you're describing.

 

[PinkPeony]

I actually read through a lot of a thread on a Canadian ivf forum about the Mexican clinic. It sounds really good and it would be nice to have a little getaway while doing the ivf.

 

[StayHopeful]

Strawberry, 15 is awesome! Keep us posted and glad ER went smoothly.

Babywish, I'm glad you're not having to take meds. You're in my thoughts, Hun

Mrs. T, so sorry to hear about the bfn. The new clinics you mentioned have great pricing!

Chris, GL with your first ultrasound!

 

[Strawberry13]

Hey guys, I received some bad news today. Of my 15 eggs, only 3 were mature and 2 fertilized. We are crushed. They have no idea what happened and I'm waiting for a call from the doctor now. They said it will definitely be a 3 day transfer.

I know there are plenty of stories about people that this happened to that it still worked for, and that its quality but not quantity, but this is just so hard to hear this news. I feel like a complete failure. My only hope that I'm holding onto is that one of these 2 is the one that God wants for us and this is how it has to happen for us.

 

[Maverick007]

Strawberry, really sorry to hear this..hang in there girl. Praying right this minute that at least one if not both of the embryos makes it. I know you have your hopes pinned on that. Let us know what the dr says...

 

[PinkPeony]

Ah Strawberry. It's always pins and needles eh. I'll be sending your embryos lots of good vibes. I've definitely heard lots of success stories with folks that ended up with 1 or 2 embryos. Crossing everything that these guys thrive till day 3.

 

[Bma11]

Strawberry I hope those 2 embie are the ones lifting you up in prayer.

 

[Nicedips]

Strawberry - I hope those two are all you need now. Hang in there!
