Multiple IVF failures...what now?

[septbride]

I was going to say the same thing. I think symptoms are there to torture us as well...they change every two hours. It definitely sounds like you're still in the game.

I went in today for my CD2 today, although I'm not sure I've reach full bleed as of yet. I have been spotting since Sunday and my nurse said to come in today. I really hope I am good to start stims tonight. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Ladies,

Hope it is ok for me to join this group I recognize some of you from other threads last year.

I have had 4 failed IVF cycles last year, 3 out of the 4 ended up with 1 average embryo all turning out to be a chemical pregnancy. The other cycle we didn't have anything to transfer. I have had pretty much every test under the sun, miscarriage work up, hsg, mri, uterine biopsy and all came back fine.

The doctor is changing up the protocol this time, I used to be on a short protocol but he wants to try a long protocol. He keeps suggesting donor egg which is so hard to digest at 28 years old!

So, i'm hoping this new protocol does the trick. I'm currently taking a few months off, eating healthy and trying not to think about ivf. I should start my down reg drugs in april/may.

It's definitely common for symptoms to come and go. I've heard ladies on here say it often. I really thought I was going to get a bfn and that AF was on her way. I think it's hard not to expect the negative when you've gotten it so many times before. Hang in there Whatthe! I hope you get pleasantly surprised!

Welcome ttb, sorry you are going through so much heartache! I think DE is a tough pill to swallow at any age. I hope that you have a good response with the change in protocol.

Oneof hoping you get good news today!!

TTB - So sorry you have to join us but hopefully this thread can give you the support you need. Best of luck with the new protocol...keep us posted!

Oneof - Hoping you can get this show on the road today!

TTB, I am so sorry you've been through so much. Dont know where we all get the strength. I hope this is the protocol that works for you.

AFM, I start tonight, I am super,super nervous and I just hope it goes as smooth as it can. They started me on 300iu of gonal-F and 150 iu of Menopur. I dont mind Dr. Davis being this aggresive right off the bat, I just hope I respond positively.

 

[whattheiveff]

Yay Oneof! Congratulations on getting started. Good luck...we're all rooting for you!

 

[L4hope]

So glad you get to start tonight oneof(btw what's your first name?). Starting stims is exciting and nerve wracking all at once. When do you have your first monitoring appt?

 

[septbride]

Yay oneof, that's great that you're getting started!!

Lauren, my name is Patricia. I am just concerned cause my DH went to the doctor and he may have the flu (as if I didnt have enough to worry about). When I spoke to my nurse, she didnt seem concerned, but I just sent an email to my doctor. He is supposed to start doxy tonight, I pray they let us continue. My DH's Dr even said to him, you should tell you RE that you have a temp! AND, so it begins. I need some prayers ladies!!!

 

[septbride]

Sending you good relaxing vibes and hope your hubby feels better. I do think they'll let you continue. To be honest, my clinic never seems the slightest bit concerned about my husband...I think he could have shown up with an arm hanging off and they wouldn't mind as long as he could err...produce a specimen. Try not to worry, love!

 

[L4hope]

Oh no Patricia! That's definitely not what you needed! Hope and prayers that your doctor will say everything's still ok to proceed.

 

[L4hope]

Nice Jess! A little levity to the situation always helps!!

 

[oneof14]

Dr said we are good go! One hurdle down! I go back on Saturday for b/w only! Now, I have to nurse my DH!

Jess, hysterical! Thank you for that!

 

[L4hope]

Shots shots shots shots for you! Hope dh feels better soon and tell him to keep it to himself!

 

[MoBaby]

[L4hope]

Thanks girls. I'm so anxious I can't even stand it!!

 

[whattheiveff]

Good luck today L4!

Oneof - How did shots go last night? Hope your husband is feeling better!
