IVF/FET in Aug'13' - Aug'14' buddies wanted!!*13 BFP's!!**Updates on first page**

Forums New posts
Thanks sunshine, yeah will schedule it sometime this week, depending on doc's availability. He's probably holidaying with the money he made off me, and won't have an appointment open till next week.

I'm so mad, I asked him to do HCG infusion with the transfer and he said no, its experimental. Well, I'm pretty sure he still has no clue why it didn't work. There's no physiological or chemical reason for it to not work... and this is the first cycle where I have absolutely no AF symptoms on OTD. Guess it will take some time to deal with the disappointment and think ahead.

flagirlie, I'm sorry I hadn't read through all the posts before I replied earlier. A little preoccupied, as you might guess. But that being said, I'd like to say congratulations... I really really hope your BFP is confirmed and you have your dream come true! Good luck hon!!
 
Interesting...

Has he done testing for NK cells or MTHFR? I have a mild form of MTHFR so I have to take high doses of folate. Some ppl who have more severe forms take heparin or lovenox shots. I hope he recommends some of that before your next round.

Oh Megan I am so sorry. I am here if you need to talk. :hugs:
 
Hello lovely ladies.... Sorry I've been quiet, I'm
Alright, me and DH just went away as we knew it was bad news as I'd had the heaviest period of my life! Not surprising, BFN.

Megan, I'm so so sorry. Everything seemed so great this time. They HAVE to investigate things further for you surely? My heart goes out to you and your OH. It's so much to cope with and you are so strong.

Flagirlie! Woah! Amazing! So happy for you!!!

Sorry it's so short, I'll Be back to talk properly tomorrow xxx

I asked him about NK cells too, when I had asked about HCG infusion, but he said no, the Medrol was given to me to stop that from happening. I didn't know what MTHFR is until you mentioned, I read a bit and I do have chronic migraines, and a first cousin who is schizophrenic. They did test me and DH for genetic carrier status before starting everything, but I'm not sure they tested for MTHFR and I will certainly ask them to do that this time.
 
Megan, Im so sorry about your BFN. Your symptoms sounded to promising. Take some time and give yourself lots of love. :hugs:
 
Kzee...Sorry about your bfn. My thoughts and prayers are with you. :hugs:

:happydance: Congratulations!!!:happydance:

Flagirlie, are you on progesterone suppositories or the progesterone oil injections? Is your ER testing your levels? Just asking cause I'm wondering if the PIO shots are worth the stress/pain.
 
Megan, so sorry about your BFN. :hugs: Hopefully next cycle will be the lucky one for us both.

I'm on crinone and if OTD confirms my BFP I know I'm gonna have to stay on it till 10 weeks of pregnancy. I will ask about my levels, thanks!
 
Thank you for your kind words, ladies.

I've accepted the fact that it didn't work, but I am raving mad at IVF NJ for not listening to me when I asked them to make sure everything was okay. I asked them :

A) About being tested for NK cells and whether that would interfere with implantation?
Answer - No, its not proven.
B) About PGS to make sure there were chromosomal abnormalities in the embryos, preventing them from attaching?
Answer - No, we don't do PGS, we only do PGD, which you don't need as neither of you are genetic carriers.
C) About HCG infusion at the time of transfer?
Answer - No, why add something else to the uterus that might prevent the embryos from attaching? Its still experimental and not advisable.
D) Endometriosis
Answer - No you don't have it
E) Testing for autoimmune disorders?
Answer - Not required, no evident symptoms.
F) Second lining check before embryo transfer in the FET cycle?
Answer - No, we only do one check before you start the progesterone. After that, we don't do lining checks.
G) Whether there were any other tests that might determine WHAT was causing the infertility? I have a family history of infertility, and in both cases, there were REASONS ; Blocked fallopian tubes in one case, and Hypothyroidism in the second case. What's my villain?

Today I called IVF NJ to schedule an appointment for follow up, and they want my husband to take a day off from work because the doctor isn't available during the holidays. He wants to celebrate thanksgiving, and its p*****g me off that after so many cycle failures, he would refuse to accommodate us outside his holiday schedule.

For what it's worth, I know that during the consult, he's going to blame me in some way as the reason why it didn't work, my eggs weren't good, I did something wrong, or whatever, but its not his fault.

I know its not an exact science, it takes time etc. but when you have good embryos, and in his own words, a "perfect uterus" why haven't either of the embies attaches, three times round???

When you know you tried something and failed, you don't live with the regret. Right now, I'm living in the what ifs of all the possible things that could have been done differently, and I ASKED him to do those and he shot me down.

I'm sorry for raving and ranting here, I wanted to put this up on the forum for anyone who ever considers IVF NJ, so that they know what they're getting into.

I'm in the process of scheduling a consultation with RMA NJ, and will see about switching my remaining three embies over to them.
 
Megan - I'm so sorry sweetie. Your doctor should have answers for you regarding your next steps.

See what RMA says to you and what they suggest your next steps would be. <3

Kzee - I'm sorry about the BFN. <3
 
MeganScott - In a way, it's good that you're so angry. I think when you're classed as 'unexplained' you have every right to be angry and want answers as to why it's not working. They should be able to give you answers and surely they want it to work so why don't they just test EVERYTHING. You are at the point now where they need to investigate all avenues so that they know what is best next time, to ensure that it works.

I hope you're doing alright and get on their case and keep us posted. I'm angry for you. Sending you lots of love x
 
Megan - I am so sorry for your BFN :hugs:

I have been quietly stalking you all :blush:

Congrats on the BFP's
 
Kzee, I'm so sorry to hear. :hugs: Hope you had a nice trip though.

Megan, ALL of the questions you asked are VERY legitimate. I can't believe their answers. May you can switch clinics? A lot of friends have told me they got pregnant the minute they switched. :hugs:
 
Sorry to post this amidst all the BFNs but I did want to share my beta today. It was 4517. I am scheduled for my first u/s next wed, dec 4. :happydance:
 
Megan am sorry , in England it take 6 weeks too fet a follow up

On your list I only agree with the one about the hcg infusion it's true it's still experimental

Pgd and immune issues and nk cells are important too know !!

Also chagrin from pio to supp won't help either !

I would suggest going too another clinic hunnie :)

My 1st 2 failed were at one clinic I changed for the 3rd they did stuff differently even down to transfer they were so gentle ! I wud get looking

Sorry ur going through this agin x
