Hi GeekPrincess. Hope things work out for you soon, TTC is sometimes a very long road! We've been trying for approaching 3 years so I know what it feels like.
Dovkav - did you test again?
Gloria - how it it go with your beta?
TTCbabyisom - I will be 35 next week so I know how you feel!
Panda - do you have a date now for your next cycle?
same questions to dov and gloria! i was so sad to see you got a bfn dov. it seemed so promising this cycle. i really feel that no matter what happens with this one, you are on the right track and moving forward even though it may feel sometimes like you aren't
i have a hormone test on wednesday (2/26) to see if i ovulated and that i'm on track and then they'll start my lupron and give me tentative dates, they made me take heavy antibiotics for the HSG and it's really causing me to have a bloated upset stomach even though i only took then 3 days. taking lots of probiotics but i'm worried the stomach problems might affect digestion and hormones
welcome geek princess! wishing you good luck with this clomid cycle. 2 years for me and 3rd IVF cycle for me so many of us in long term journeys. going to be 34 in April. basically i'll find out if this one worked within weeks of my birthday.
Panda, why did they give you antibiotics after HSG? Do you get them every single time after this procedure? You are very smart! Probiotics will help, but make sure one of the ingredient is oligosaccharides, this is sugar which is the food for bacteria in the capsule. That's how bacteria stays alive.
I did get BFN this morning at 15dpiui. I am quitting my progest. tonight.
My hubby told me we'll try again, we'll never give up. It seems to me we are doing baby steps and they are too small...panda, IUI with one egg is really going backward not forward. But I am sick answering the same question "Are your tubes open?". After each IVF I had this thought behind my head maybe we can do it naturally, with progesterone and IUI. My hubby had this idea in the begining of our treaments.
When we went for IUI's first u/s, I felt sick and wanted to throw up thinking about this clinic that we are back again cos WE don't get any results....
I assume that my egg and his sperm are healthy. My R tube failed this cycle. My scar from appendix is on the right, closer to my R tube. I'd like to give a chance to a L tube next month.
I would do another IUI if I have a mature follicle on the L side. If I have a follicle on the right side again, we'll do another IVF w/o meds.
It'll give me peace of mind that I did everyhing I could...
Than I need to convince my hubby to do stim IVF. Soak myself in nasty, ugly hormones.
we are doing sperm dna fragm test on Tuesday. The results will be ready in 1-2 weeks.
ON the other hand, if my egg quality was bad in all 5 egg retrievals. It is possibility that a good egg will pop out during IUIs. And we won't catch it.
I give this up to God and he'll decide...
Panda, yesterday I met a woman who had no children she was 84. Her appendix ruptured after the war. She blames this event for childless live.
My mother in-law was supprised to find out that I had a ruptured appendix too.(it ruptured in dr. hands, but we don't know what happened for sure. He just wanted to make us feel better, cos he misdiagnosed my problem for days.) My hubbies mom says "I see black". It means no luck for you guys....After failed 3 embryos implantation, she thinks my uterus is rejecting....She has no medical backgound, but I take all opinions to heart.
Panda, could it be that scarring around the uterus(the outside) could prevent the uterus move freely, and prevent implantation?
