AFM - just had my 2nd US this morning and we had a little suprise - it will be twins - the second one was just hiding

tawny- sorry to hear about the negative. I was told that on average (at my age) it takes 2.2 times to get a BFP but as averages are, there are some that get it faster and others longer. We have no IFV coverage with our insurance - only some labs and US are covered - the rest is self-pay and you have...

Hi cookie - I guess you re right - they don't know for sure but don't admit they dont know it.

Hi Kynlee - My RE is prescribing them for the 12 weeks only at that point the pregancy is established enough and you are producing enouhg on your own. Last time I stopped at 10 weeks. Everything above 20 is good. Since you are 12 weeks along there is no reason to continue. No need to worry - you sho...

tawny - the number is low but I dont believe in comparing numbers anyway so it is a positive beta and I will kepp my fingers crossed for it to double.

Hi Claire,arie- did the doctor and you talk about pesa or tesa? It is a surgical sperm retrieval explained below and might be an option but depends on the diagnosis.

Patricia - going abroad is not so hard at all I guess the bad part is that in most cases it is not covered by insurance. My RE has an abroad program and it seems you would have to come over only twice the rest is done locally in the home country.

Jayne- yeahhhh perfect number and congrats to BFP

Ryann - are you still seeing your RE or are you already releasd to your OB???
I will see my RE once a week until I am 12 weeks along and the transfer to an OB. Just curious thought it would be the same for everyone

Hi Cookie, I have no experience with that but was curious and googled. What I found is that other clinics on their site state that the sperm and eggs are left together overnight so it doesn't seem to be uncommon

Kynlee- I Had and going to have an US every week and lab until they sent me over to the reg gyn at 12 weeks. So they know my levels every week. Last time I was there in the morning and he nurse said I can stop and that's what I did. No lowering the dose or such for a couple of days

Sorcet - be positive even if you feel something then you worry it's the meds so there's no difference in the anxiety state. Keep praying for you

Hi Tamicka - Ithe pio shots continue until week10or12 and unfortunately my RE is not up for patches prefers the shots because it the dose you inject will be in your body and I assume he isn't 100% on the patches.

We did ICSI on all eggs as well. Low count and morphology issues. rE also said it would be a shame if I had to go through retrieval and then take chances with fertilization. Made send to me.

Blueyedreamer- I have no words - so sorry
