Ladies, It means so much to me that you shared your storyand well wishes. I wish you all the best. I'm on day 11 post 5 day transfer and still getting
BFN. I have my beta blood test on day day 13. That said, I did just switch clinics and had a much better result with the different protocol. I switched clinics because my last Dr. told me that there was nothing more he could do for me and he recommended a surrogate. This is because I had 3 cancelled transfers because my lining would not get above 6.3 and it needs to be 8+ for the transfer. I switched clinics..did the new Drs. new protocol and my lining was 8.2. I used vaginal viagra (no estrace or estrogen patches like the other Dr. was using) as well...which worked well. The blasts we transfered looked great, the lining was 8.2 and he said the lining was not all the way trilaminar...but there was an area that was that where he could put the embryos. He also did additional tests and found that I have PAI-1 which is a blood clotting disorder...not a big deal but could effect fertility...so he also put me on a daily Lovenox shot. He aslo found that I have the MTHRFR gene which makes your body not process folic acid...without special meds like Folgard. Both he said are easy fixes with Lovenox and Folgard...and so I was feeling very positive...I'll let you know what happens...but I wholeheartedly agree that if it's not working with one clinic...you should switch clinics.
