Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

Got home from CCRM consult on Monday, took some time to process everything. You can read about the experience in my blog if you're interested.

Good luck everyone with upcoming IUIs, IVFs, or consults!

I read your blog entry. I'm rooting for you, Ash!

Have you ever done the uterine biopsy or scratch before?
 
Hey guys- my consult is in 3 days!! aF started right on time so I will probably get some testing done with next af (nov 29) as well as start bcp for jan cycle. I can't wait to see what re has to say... Probably something like I am crazy for wanting to go again after all the failures and mc's last time but I want to go once more to try to make a sibling soon. I want to do this sooner than later because I want ttc to be a thing of the past so me and dh can start enjoying each other more and we can just focus on raising our kid(s). Our relationship has suffered a lot because of things and we need to get back on track. So really hoping this works but if it doesn't I will know we tried hard for #2. Financially and emotionally and physically we can only do one more ivf/icsi.

L4 fx for you today!
 
Mo so exciting you're going to get things started!! I know the feeling of wanting the whole ttc phase of life to be behind you. It's definitdly hard on a marriage but hopefully you come across the other side stronger for it and with a beautiful family. :hugs:
 
First - we're doing a uterine biopsy but my Dr. didn't mention anything about a scratch.
 
ash- I read your blog and good luck! Seems like they are covering a lot and my girlfriend who is an ER doc went there and had great results!

Firt- Sorry to hear that about your embryos. what do you plan to do now?

Mo- Yayayay! Thats exciting its getting closer! And I know how you feel its very hard on families very tough

sandy- hope everythign is going good with you!

L4-how are you doing?

AFM- boys are 11 months today and planning their 1 year birthdays. Also we are going to try again in 6 months for baby number 3
 
First - we're doing a uterine biopsy but my Dr. didn't mention anything about a scratch.

I think the scratch concept is similar to a biopsy, but the only purpose of the scratch is to help with implantation. Looking at your history, it seems that no embryos have implanted. I say that because you haven't had chemical pregnancies or miscarriages. Just based on reading these message boards for a few years, it seems to me that disrupting the uterine lining with a scratch or biopsy helps implantation for people who've not be able to achieve that.

That's why I was asking of you've tried that with any previous IVF cycles.

Thinking good thoughts!
 
Good luck, Mo!

And Sweetness, good luck on number 3!

To answer your question, we will do a fresh cycle as soon as possible. However, childbirth messed up my thyroid and it sounds like it's going to take 2-6 months to get that regulated before we can start. I'm turning 40 next month, so it is what it is. I'm confident, but I also understand how fortunate we are to have our DS, with or without a second child.

The strange thing is that it never before bothered me when other people got pregnant easily. But now it bothers me when my new mom friends had such an easy time the first time that they know they can do it again anytime they want to. If we can't have another, it's going to be hard watching them get pregnant again.
 
Sweet, very exciting you will be trying again soon! Do you have frozen embryos?

First I'm sorry you have thyroid issues to sort through. Hopefully once you get that under control you will be successful with your next attempt. I think any of us who have had to fight to become a mom has a hard time when others have it happen so easily. Not that you would wish infertility on anyone, but still it just kinda stings. :hugs:
 
First -yeah I've heard of the scratch before transfer but it's not something my doctor has suggested yet. I'm willing to do whatever he thinks will work! I just want to be pregnant already.

sweetness - yay for trying again! Best of luck!
 
first - I'm having the biopsy during my next cycle which should start around the 15th of this month and we're not having our transfer until March. So I don't know if it will still help but ... either way. I mean once it gets close to transfer maybe I'll mention that to my doctor.
 
Congrats l4!!

Excited you are starting again mo baby!

First - good luck with your next cycle.

Ash I had the scratch done on one of my frozen transfers (they did the scratch one month before the transfer). And I ended up with a chemical pregnancy. My believe is that my embryo wasn't viable but that the scratch made it so perfect that the embryo implanted Sending best wishes for you.

Sorry I've missed others - just doing a quick catch up.
 
I also did a scratch biopsy the cycle before my last fet. It obviously worked :) I hoping to have the same done again early next year.
 
Congrats L4!

Looks like a lot of you ladies had success with the scratch. Hopefully it helps me too :D I'm looking forward to getting started in January/February. I'm also participating in this Acai berry study that they're conducting. I'm looking forward to that! It's just a pill you take 3 times a day and they've seen it increase egg quality. So ... FX'd!
 
Thank you all. Didn't want to shout it out here in sensitivity to those still working really hard for a baby.

Mo excited to hear how your appt goes tomorrow!

Lotus, how are you feeling? Are things still looking good for vaginal delivery?

Ash I also had the endo scratch before my FET that helped me have my little boy. Exciting to be in a trial that helps improve egg quality!
 
Thank you all. Didn't want to shout it out here in sensitivity to those still working really hard for a baby.

That's awesome, L4! :happydance: Great beta! I didn't think IUIs worked, but I guess they do sometimes :thumbup:
