jchris- I too-like Michele had male factor only. It did work the 1st time but we did have to use tese-where they surgically removed sperm from my husbands testes- and then injected them into my eggs. Be sure that that is what your doctor plans to do. In other words, if your wife has 10 healthy eggs ...

Faith77-I had OHSS and was told and read in many places that if my embies did implant, it would get worse for a while-I looked about 3 months pregnant at first-then my bloating and pain ended up COMPLETELY going away before beta so I was sure it was a BFN-not true....I have my 6 week old DS to prove ...

Faith77-I wish I could tell you SOMETHING to help make the time go by.......I don't think there is anything. As far as signs/symptoms, I over analyzed every twinge or ache-only to find out they were from the progesterone. My only advice, try to keep busy-I know, easier said than done!!!!!! Best of ...

Esperanza & riogirl-thank you BOTH for your tips-I am trying it all......I'll let you know how it goes-It's just so hard to hear him scream when I know I could just put him on my breast, and he will be o.k.-But I have to remember, when he's at daycare, I won't be able to do that. I will keep at it ...

Lynniecat-I'm no expert on this, but I believe I read on here before that the doc's will not do it if you are still breastfeeding-I'm pretty sure she would have to stop first.

Michele-no I only had 1 fresh cycle. The global fee was 14,000-which I thought covered everything-but as time went on-I remember being charged for sperm handling, storage, embryo handling, storage and all this other stuff-My meds were 4 thousand five hundred-so somehow all these other handling and ...

Ct-Michele-just a thought-Maybe Dr. Levi can give some sort of discount if you ask-I mean Geeez-it's not like he hasn't made a ton of money on ALL of us-and you have travelled a long road with him already. I did notice-listening to the other stories on here-that it seems a bit more expensive than ...

My CT friend, Michele-I am so sorry that it didn't work this time. I hope when you go to Dr. Levi today he has some answers or ideas about next time. About the money, you WILL find a way.
