Best of luck on your IVF Ali

I wonder if that means I have to go seek out an IVF thread?

I really do wish you all some here is some extra sticky

TTC-CONGRATS to you! What a surprise!!!

Ali-That is super fast! Here we have to be put on BCP's for a month or two first and then start down regging with Lupron or Ganirelix and then stimming. It can take 2-3 months just to get to the retrieval. Good luck!

oh my really? That is wild! I've never heard that. I will be taking ganirelix towards the end of the stimming to stop me from ovulating, but he didn't even mention any of that.

Hey Everyone...

I'm sorry I have been MIA for a while.. So I had my consultation with the Dr this morning, and he looked at my chart with me, and he said the scary words.. IVF. I was worried he was going to say that, but I expected it to happen.

So he did the US and things look good. My left ovary looks awesome, and my right, well it never wants to come to the party (it was hiding today, but seen, barely). I spent about 3 hours at the Dr's office getting everything organized for the IVF this month. WOW, yes this month!

The first thing they had to do was a trial embryo transfer, they do this to make sure they can get the embryos up there when its the real deal. Well guess what? He said I had stenosis of the cervix, and that he has to do surgery to dilate it. I'm like wahhhh? So I'm having surgery tomorrow morning at 7am to make my cervix open better, then I will start on a course of injectibles: Menopur 225 iu and Bravelle 225 iu each day and we'll go from there. We are forecasting the embryo retrieval to be on Sept 11th and the embryo transfer to be 3 days later.

I'm a little overwhelmed right now, I kind of feel like its all happening so fast. Thing is that I need to jump on this, and get it done! Wish me luck!!

Best of luck to all of you and to TTCinTexas a huge CONGRATS!!! I hope there are many more this month on this thread!!!

Wow! That is fast. I am so happy for you. I hope your surgery goes well, and that IVF works the first time! Good luck!

Alicatt - that is so exciting!!! It's also great how quickly they could get you started! My clinic requires you to go through a day of counseling before starting IVF, for both partners; such a pain since that means taking a day of work for both of us. Good luck on your procedure tomorrow and the best of luck in this cycle!!! Keep us posted on your progress!!!!

Yep, I was surprised as well! The box of meds arrived. WOW it is a huge box! Hard to believe I have to inject all of that into my body. I'm going to feel like a pin cushion when this is all over!

The sperm is being delivered this afternoon. I did get more bad news from the fertility clinic about poor egg quality. They gave me a slim chance of conceiving without IVF and or donor eggs. So I decided to continue the way we have been doing it and working on making myself the healthiest I can be. I am working on a nutritional supplement program with my chiropractor and all I can do is hope for the best. Me and my partner are going to do 8 more inseminations. We are doing the first of 8 in the next few days. I want to be hopeful but its hard. A lot of tears have been shed this week and this is just the beginning...Baby dust to all of you...

I'm so sorry JandK, hearing that your egg quality is not what you had hoped is not fun. I'm embarking on the IVF journey right now, so if you have any questions about it, feel free to hit me up!
to you!!!

Has anyone had a laproscopy done before my doctor said if my iui doesnt work this month i should have one next month. I go for my consult on the 10th i hope my iui works this month

 

[Redhead7211]

Ali-I'm glad the surgery went well and you're well on your way to having a baby!

Finch-I have never had lap surgery done for the purpose of infertility. Only to remove a dermoid tumor from my left ovary. When are you due to start your IUI?

 

[Redhead7211]

Jan-I'm sorry to hear about your egg quality. Good luck on this cycle. Remember your B&B Family are always here for support.

CD 12 and I'm pissed... I have nothing but tiny ones on the right and a 14 and 16 on the left with a few smaller. RE is cutting my dose from 2 1/2 vials of Bravelle to 1. That is bad, very bad. They will call tomorrow to see how I feel. At this point I either feel like throwing in the towel or going against their wishes and doing the 2 1/2 anyway. I'm just beyond done....

 

[ILuvBabies200]

J&K-Bummer. Are you sure you want to do a total of 12 of these?? I think statistically after a few failed rounds the chances go way down. I'm sorry

Alicatt-Good luck injecting!!

Good luck! I hope one of the eight times (sooner rather than later) you get a BFP. Prayers for you!
