Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[ashknowsbest]

thanks jchic! I really do hope it works eventually but today I'm just ... not so sure. I am/was having all of these irrational fears, like I won't be able to carry a baby and feel my child growing inside, I will have to adopt, or use donor sperm or eggs ... or a surrogate ... just craziness. I'm all over the places but thank you! I am trying to stay positive!

 

[jchic]

dont let yourself go there. I have done that so many times, I cant even tell you. Cross one bridge at a time as they come up. Trying to tackle ALL of that at once is very overwhelming and unnecessary, so dont even do it. Just stay as positive and calm as possible until Friday and should it not have worked out, make sure you have a list of questions and what could be changed for next time, although I am hoping you dont even need that.

 

[Kins]

Hang in there ash! The poas aren't completely accurate anyway. Wait for that beta fingers crossed for you

 

[Kins]

Heart- Sounds very promising!!

Kins- Don't apologize... this is a place we come for understanding and support and that's why we are all here... So please don't apologize ((HUGS))

afm- 9dpo, and I POAS... bfn, It's still early though....

Ya Gabie still early your bfp is possible

 

[MissyMaddy]

Kins- dear you don't have to apologize, you are in my thoughts and prayers, remember God loves us and He will bless us one day, He will, Its just a phase and will pass, you are so welcome to vent here, stay strong, i know it feels like forever but the day isn't far when we all will be holding our babies. It will happen again. anytime you need us, we are here

Thanks iheart.. Soss sooo excited for you. Hopefully this is it for you

Little- Many many congrats! That is a great news!

Jchic- i am fine, thank you, hope you and babies are doing well too, are you gonna find out gender or keeping it a surprise?

Ash- I am so sorryyyy! you have been through a long road, hang in there, there is a definitely light at the end of tunnel, its a rough bumpy road i know sometimes i wish i could fast forward the time.. I hope you get your bfp on friday, anything can happen..

Gabie- yeah seems early, when is your beta? best of luck!!

Hi All! I'm considering RMA NY for an IVF cycle. We live in Arizona and we have had 10 years of dealing with pg losses, followed by now infertility. We did a cycle locally, and unfortunately the level of care here is not up to par. The RE in town is extremely conservative and had me on such low dosage to stim. DH and I are giving it one more attempt and we want to go to the best we can. I am considering Colorado Center Rep Med and RMA NY. DH has a friend who had success with RMA NY and MIL (yes, my nosy MIL) suggests we go there because of the sucess our friends had with RMA NY.

My concern is being out of state - what is the procedure/schedule like? CCRM I do a phone consult, travel 1 day, then travel again for the procedure. Have any of you been treated from out of state?

Thanks for any help.

 

[jchic]

Suze- welcome! CCRM and RMA NJ have the best rates in the country. Rmanj has better rates than NY and also pioneered PGD testing which you may benefit from. I highly suggest RMA NJ. They are different than RMA NY. I think you will be very happy there and they get sooooo many out of state and out of country patients bc of thier amazing success rates! Ccrm is the best clinic so they are also obviously phenomenal!!!

We'll it's definitely even darker today so I am going to call it that I am officially preggo. Trying not to get too excited because we have a long way to go, 8 months to be exact. I've have terrible night sweats for the last 4 nights... anyone else experience that? Hope it doesn't last too long!!!

Kins - Please don't apologize, we've all been through tough times and that is why we're all here... to support each other.

Gabie - yes still early, I am guilty of not being able to wait too! Fingers crossed for you

Ash - that is so discouraging... please don't breakdown, it's still early and all HPTs are different. Try to stay positive and wait until Friday. Even then it's not all over. Many of us on here have been through IVF two, three or even more times. It took us a long time but at this point my DH and I aren't felling sorry for ourselves anymore we've come to realize that this is our path and we will have a family no matter what. It'll happen for you too, I promise

suz - We are very happy with Dr. Grunfeld at RMANY, we had previously gone to St. Lukes/Continuum and the offices are like night and day. I am not sure where RMANJ is but the NY office is very conveniently located. I live about 100 miles from the office but I was lucky enough to be able to stay in Queens with family during most of my treatment. If you're looking for someplace to stay you may get a good rate at a hotel in Long Island City which is only 15 minutes from the office by subway. Not sure if they'd change the schedule since you live so far away but mine was pretty short and fairly simple. They want to see you every other day for the first week or so of stims then toward the end of your cycle, in the second week they want to see you daily until egg retrieval. Even though we had a ton of eggs retrieved that wanted us to be available for a 3 day transfer and then called us that morning to reschedule for a 5day. I had to go back 2 days later for a progesterone test and then our Beta pregnancy test is a week later. From what I understand if it's positive I'll have to go back 2 days later for another. Not sure how much of this can be done remotely, when you do the blood tests at RMA they are processed in house so it's super quick... many other labs will take a few days to get results which may not be ideal in some cases... hope this helps. I actually personally know of at least 3 women who went elsewhere then came to RMANY and had babies on the first try. I am happy to answer any other questions if I can!

 

[jchic]

Congrats Iheart! This is soooo exciting!!! When is your beta?

 

[Spoiledangel]

Ash don't lose hope yet it's still early

Well ladies I woke up at 3am which would have been exactly 4.5dp5dt my fet was 3pm lol and something in me couldn't resist poas!!!! I got a light 2nd line after 30 seconds redid it again at 7am to make sure I'm not crazy and same thing!!! No Hcg or trigger shot taken at all so it can't be that, I'm just in shock that the 1st FET would have worked after 10 years of IF!!!!

 

[iheartqueens]

Thanks jchic!!! My Beta is Friday... can't wait!!!

How are your babies doing? Are you going to find out the gender or will you wait it out?!?!

 

[jchic]

[MissyMaddy]
