Interesting theory about the girls for you. My mc where we did chromosome testing was a boy so maybe I can't carry boys I don't know. Wow that takes a lot of patience to wait to find out the sex but how amazing would the surprise be! I have really good vibes about this transfer for you too!! Just a few more days and you'll be PUPO!!
Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

I know!! Just 72 hours from now!! EEK!! 
I'm getting excited!
I have an appt at the new RE tomorrow to go over the RPL panel (which came back all normal) and to discuss DH most recent SA and discuss whats next. I dont even want to talk about the cycle not working but I want him to know what our plans are. Hope that goes well!

Mo- I have a good feeling. And that is a weird theory with the girls but seems like its possible.
Mells- when is our scan? Andmy progesterone was normally 50-300. Yes a big range. But as long as its above 15 that's all that matters.
Hope everyone else is doing well

Cali.. with one tube blocked IUI is not the best option. You'll need to find out what your dominant ovary is and if it's the same as your unblocked tube then maybe, but if it's not you will have little chance of success. Not many people know this but you don't ovulate one month from the left then next from the right. Most of us have a dominant ovary that we ovulate from most months and then the other maybe 1-4 times a year.
Have you tried any supplements for your DH to improve his sperm?

Sweet, it's next Wednesday. I can't wait! I'm praying everything is on track...I'm such a worry wort and I just don't "feel" pregnant, although I have symptoms. I'm just anxious since I had a previous ectopic.

Sandy.. thanks, and same to you!
Mo.. can't wait until you are PUPO!
AFM.. I'm sorry I've been MIA.. mostly been busy with work and preparing for a drive crosscountry and a 3 week stay in Canada. Preparing 2 dogs, 1 car, myself and packing has been a lot! All while dealing with my MC. Keeping busy has helped, so has the assumption that the baby likely has a chromosomal issue.
I find out in a few short hours what the issue was. We'll also discuss my options for another cycle. Alternate options for suppressing my NK cells, etc.
I'm going to talk to them about CCS, and the CCRM supplement cocktail for women that are older.. it contains the following:
L-Arginine
CoQ10
Melatonin
Myo Inisitol
DHEA (only for poor responders)
We'll see what he says.
Oh and I'm going to ask about IMSI a method for selecting the best sperm for ICSI. Course that will only be necessary if I end up doing another full IVF!
I'll let you know how it all goes!

Hi cali, I just did a natural IUI even though I have 5 frosties left. My circumstances are different from yours, but thought I'd share my experience just as a point of reference.
After a failed fresh IVF and another failed FET, I've been wondering if the aggressive stimulation during IVF had compromised quality for quantity. So I wanted to try a simpler (and cheaper) alternative for a change. Also, DH will be moving to Middle East next month, so I wanted to catch him "live" for this procedure first, and leave all the frozen stuff for later.
My AMH is 1.3, which is borderline low. No OHSS during fresh IVF even though my stimulation was quite aggressive. DH's motility's fine, but morph's low. However, several of RE's I've seen all said that we shouldn't rely too much on the WHO references in the SA report as the benchmark. All it takes is 1 out of the millions!
My antral count is always higher on the left ovary (4) as compared to my right (2). My initial dominant follicle this cycle was from my left ovary, but that subsequently regressed. Right ovary decided to take over the job later and I ended up ovulating from the right side. Who knows?
As for your fibroids, have they been removed already?

I know me too! I'm at the dealership getting some warranty work done on my car before my trip, and before my appt and I'm going nuts, the wait is killing me! My appt is in 80 minutes! LOL!

Hey Ladies!! OMG! Its just 47 hours away....
SO I went to the new RE today because I am the type of person who needs a Plan B you know and I also needed to hear from the RE my labs were normal and they were. I didnt want to do this transfer with some weird issue underlying. No immune or clotting issues. Also we discussed DH SA. We were told there were no sperm by the nurse but there were some sperm; 24 total lol. We knew it was pretty bad. 18 were motile/usable. We could do IVF/ICSI with that sample. So DH and I had already discussed doing another IVF etc. We decided that enough is enough and we should just move on to donor sperm if this FET isnt successful. I ovulate normally every month. Granite I only have one tube the RE said this isnt an issue because I will be on mild stims to make sure I have follicles on both sides or to at least give it a chance. And if the right side only has follicles then we dont do the IUI. I think we would give the IUI 3-5 tries before moving back to IVF. Success is about 18% each time compared to natural conception of 20-25% each month so after 3-5 if it doesnt work then it probably won't. Then we would consider doing the TESE/ICSI/PGD at that point (with back-up donor just in case and do a some with DH sperm and some with DS to see which makes better quality embryos since all this stuff is related to crappy sperm).
I was super nervous of telling the RE we were doing the FET but he was really cool with it. He said we have a great chance of it working and really thinks what happened before had to do with chromosome issues/genetics. So I am praying that one of these babies is normal. He said to call him either way to let him know. He is really nice and up front which I really like. I just hope he doesnt think we used him to figure things out but sometimes you have to have second opinions before knowing what is right for you.
Oh one more thing: When I was at the new RE office my current RE office called me and said I need to pay for the FET now. I told them I would be up there Friday before the transfer to drop off payment and we got into a little argument about it because she said no she needed it now. I said this is the 6th time I am doing a transfer with you guys and you know I am good for the money so I will bring it. I have never been late or anything. They have screwed up my account multiple times and it took months to figure it out. They have owed me a refund and took weeks to get to me. Well, she spoke to the dr and the nurse (or said she did) then said they would not thaw without payment so then I had to go there and pay after my appt. The call really ticked me off. I told here I wasnt being difficult but her call really irritated me! They acted like I was just going to have my babies put back and then never see them again. Like I was some criminal or something. After my 2.5 years with them, thousands of dollars, multiple appts calls, etc I thought they would treat me better than they did.

Relax, it's way too early! I felt things after my first transfer, but that ended in m/c. With this one, I didn't have symptoms til after I got my BFP. Good luck!
