Hi Karin,
My heart goes out to you. You've been through alot already and to have just another heartache must be so discouraging. I know exactly how you feel. The first thing out of my RE's mouth was "maybe you should consider an egg donor". My DH felt very strongly that he wanted the baby to be both ...

Hi All,
What's with the eggplant and pineapple?! I obviously missed something along the way!

Hi All,
Hope everyone's having a nice summer day. I'm still in the hurry up and wait world. We have to sign a new batch of papers at the RE's office before the start the next cycle. I'm waiting for my period so they can do the testing while I'm there signing everything. Never thought I'd be ...

Hi Tammy,
I see you're here too. Great quote!
Love,

Hi All,
Crashing over from the Summer cycle group. I totally understand everyone's concerns. My DH nd I are struggling with the age thing right now. I'm 46 and he is 45 and we tried IVF for the 1st time in July. I had several follicles but when they were retrieved they were empty with the exception ...

Hi All,
Finally got some time to chat. My DH got a little heat exhaustion from work. I had to keep a close eye on him to make sure he didn't get any worse. The weather's been blazing without any relief so the body can only handle so much. He seems better now. I just can't wait to start my next cycle ...

Hi All,

Franny- Good luck to you!!! This is the one!

Hi All,
Boy, lots going on with everyone this week. I had to take notes to keep up with all the latest news. Thanks again for all you well wishes. You're doing wonders to keep my spirits up. Had lunch with the ladies. Got lots of good teacher gossip. Just entertaining for me because I'm a florist ...

Hi All,
You are all so wonderful!!! Thanks so much for all your sympathies and prayers. I've taken it all to heart. Thankfully my RE called me today to answer all my questions. He was as shocked as we were with the outcome. He had felt things went really well. He said that mainly because of my age ...

Hi All,
I was very disappointed to hear that I had nothing to fertilize. They said there was only one imature egg and several empty follicles. I figured after the Dr's optimistic report after the ET there would be something to work with. I won't know what happened or where to go next till Monday ...

Tammy,
Thanks! I'm a little slow at times.

Hi All,
So nice to hear everyones good news. I didn't have much computer time to read them all. Still recovering so the screen kept making me yawn the more I stared at it. Couldn't concentrate anymore last night. I'm still a little tender from the ER but very anxious to get the phone call. Then it ...

Hi All,
Thanks for all your well wishes. Your prayers are appreciated more than you can imagine. I survived!! Before I went under the DR spoke to us. I was shocked to hear how impressed he was with my follicle production and growth. He said that was unusual for my age to have so many possibilities ...

Hi All,
Trying to stay away from the kitchen. I keep hearing the leftover pizza calling me. :wink: Have to be at the surgical center soon. I'm fighting my anxiety about the ER.Trying to stay calm. PMA... PMA!!!

Ryann... I do like where I go although I had no choice because of the insurance. If I ...

Hi Ryann,
We're in the Orland/Tinley area. We go to Chicago IVF. That's the only place the insurance authorized. I also spend alot of time at the local Costco. Where's your clinic?
