We're ok...heart rate still low (119, up from 97...I got to hear it) babe's still measuring behind (7 weeks 2 days..I'm at 8 weeks), but "appropriate growth" has been made. Thank God!!!!!! Now more waiting....next scan is in a week. Still terrified, but SO relieved. Thanks once again for all the support. xoxoxo
Ever - fx for you tomorrow! Praying for you and your little bean. I hope you get great news! I'm feeling pretty good, thanks for asking. Lining scan is next Wednesday.

Turkey - great news! I bet you're a little bit relieved. Fx'd that things are still looking good at your next scan.
Ever - I hope you get great news at your scan. If not though were all here for you. I'm doing okay thanks for asking. I started my stims last night and all went well. I have my first scan on Thursday.

I just got a call from my clinic, they have had to move my scan to Thursday as my fs is off sick. Annoying to have to wait but its only 24 hours I guess!! Xx
Great news, Turkey!
Good luck, Ever. The waiting is tough, especially if you feel you're in limbo, but at least it's only an extra day.
AFM, 2 days to go! Please let this be our forever baby(ies). I haven't been doing acupuncture this cycle, but I scheduled appointments for the hours before and after the transfer.

Woo hoo first!! This is going to be it for you!!!! 
I wish I had done AP now with my FET. I did it with my first BFP and then with my second BFP but not with any of my neg cycles. (although the outcomes were not good for either). Maybe there is something to it? Maybe its in my head.

Wonderful news Turkey!! Hope there are no more scares from now on!
Ever- good luck with your scan, so sorry they are making you wait another day!!
First- best of luck with your transfer!! I did acu before and after- it really helped relax me for the procedure and made the wait to use the restroom afterwards much easier.

I am compling a list of questions to ask at my consult. Can you ladies (Alicatt!) help me add questions I may be forgetting?? I havent had to do this before and I have learned all this stuff over the past 2 years with my current RE. I am scared of the new consult! I hope he has a solution and doesnt say we are hopeless 
IVF questions:
1) Protocol. I responded best to the microdose protocol. In all cycles estrogen was noted to be low after stimming for a few days. Estrogen does respond appropriately but I feel like it should be higher initially. Can we do something to increase the low estrogen? Is this affecting egg quality? We always end up with a good amount of mature eggs. I usually see a good deal of growth after stimming for 5-6 days.
- I feel like the BCP over-suppress me. Can we avoid birthcontrol pills?
-How can we ensure more blasts on day 5?
2) Miscarriage. Is there any more testing that needs to be done? I feel like something is missing and we need to find out what that is. Do you only recommend genetic testing on the embryos even though we both have normal karotypes/genetics?
- Immune testing?
- Clotting testing?
- Uterine biopsy?
3) Sperm.
-Can we use ejaculated sperm as we have been in the past. We have had enough sperm per sample to fertilize all the eggs. We have a back up supply at current RE. We can leave back-up sample if needed. Current RE was okay with this and we used fresh ejaculated sperm for all 3 IVF cycles.
- Is the sperm the reason for the miscarriages/failed cycles?
-Do you recommend donor sperm?
- Who can we see as a second opinion at a urologist. We were not very satisfied with the current urologist. We are not willing to undergo testicular sperm extraction at this time. Are there any further testing that DH needs to have? He has not had an ultrasound. Bloodwork revels only slightly elevated FSH with low testosterone. Should we see an endocrinologist?
-Testicular torsion/hernia repair: is this most likely the cause for the oligospermia?
- Repeat SA
4) Embryologist/lab:
-What methods does the lab use to freeze/thaw.
- Who is the embryologist? Is there more than one embryologist who work with the IVF lab?
-What is the success rate of thawing embryos?
- What percentage per patient do you see blast rate with your lab on average?
5) Success rate. What is your success rate? I have seen SART but want to know personally your success rate. Success rate in cases like ours?
6) Do you think I can be successful at another full round of IVF? Should I transfer the frozen embryos first before looking into other options?
7) Should we consider IUI with donor sperm vs IVF?
8) My uterus.
-Do you see any reason why I can't carry a baby with my uterus? Current RE says uterus should not be an issue. Is this the reason why I can't stay pregnant? Current RE says blood flow is perfect to uterus and size is relatively normal compared to someone with a normal uterus.
-Do I need a HSG. Would prefer not to do this. Have had multiple saline sonograms. Most recent March 25th, 2013.
-How many embryos would you be willing to transfer with UU. We have transferred 2 with each fresh IVF and 1 with each FET. Can we transfer more since I have had multiple failed cycles or would that be too much of a risk?

Mo - looks like a very detailed list of questions..
Have you ever been prescribed viagra suppositories? Not sure how common it is in the US but it has proven to massively enhance blood flow to uterus. Might be worth asking about if you are asking about blod flow?
Will your clinic also be sending copies of all procedures performed on you? As well as drug chart etc?
