HI, Ladies -

Boy has it been an emotional week on this board! We've had a couple of BFNs, a little boy in surgery, stressful fert. reports, disappointing transfers and worst of all, the loss of a best friend. I can't help but think how strong we all really are. Can you imagine if a man had to go ...

Helene-thxs for the info. I have to check mine now from the US.

So I probably shouldnt have been reading on the internet but my DH asked me something so there I went researching! So 3 day transfers dont look to have great outcomes or high statistics do they? I know a blast is the best and all I ...

Franny - Oh my gosh - I'm so sorry!! I know you must be completely devastated right now. Wherever your path leads you and DH, I feel in my soul (and I don't know you at all!!) that you will be a mom one day. Take this time to grieve and know that there is a plan and a path for you and DH - you are ...

Ghost - I think I interpret the data differently than you do. The stats for my clinic on the CDC website show that they do an above average number of cycles - at least from the clinics I have looked at. I looked at the clinic in Iowa that you said was the best in the world and they do far fewer ...

Hi ladies - hope your Friday night is a relaxing one!!!

Angela - hey! What a small world we live in - the Fetal Maternal Medicine group I'm going to see is the same one you want to see when you get your BFP! I'm not sure which doctor I will end up seeing - I'm sure you have to rotate through them ...

HI, Panama -

I just finished up my 2nd cycle at Institute for Reproductive Health - both cycles were BFPs. My RE is Dr. Awadalla and I really like him a lot. There is one other RE at the practive, Dr. Schreiber. I really like him as well - you can't go wrong with either one. They each have ...

Hi, everyone! I have been gone for a bit and it has taken me a while (as usual) to get caught up! So much has happened. Forgive me if I leave a few people out but I'm going to try to do this off the top of my head.....

Franny - I am so excited about your perfect little bean. The perfect 10 lining ...

Hi, ladies - I just got back from a little Easter vacay to Naples, FL. It was a lot of fun and the weather was absolutely beautiful!! Now I'm back home and am sitting through a tornado watch. :( I'm exhausted and wanted to go to bed at 7:30 but knew I would be wide awake at 2 if I did. Anyone else ...

Hey ladies I'm dropping in for a PMA boost. I hadn't heard from the RE at all about the status of my 13 embies that they were going to let go till day 5 then freeze. Well the nurse called back and none of them made it. :( :x So now I am freaking out that if they couldn't make it two more days will ...

You "should" see a positive 14 days after retrieval. But as dogzrule said, it's not always the case! Good luck!!

Good Morning Ladies

I keep telling myself that this is not the end of the world, that I am healthy and loved, have a great family and so forth but still I am so damn sad. I thought it would be easier being cancelled the second time around but it hurts just as much. I read on the board about ...

Hey there, Franny-

I just wanted to say congrats on simming!!!!!! So exciting to get started!! Also, Gonal-F does not need to be kept cold after you start using it. It remains completely stable outside of the refridgerator for 30 days. You can always confirm with a pharmacist who is familiar with ...

Sara - don't worry about the bleeding!! If there is no blood in the uterus and you have no cramping, you are fine. IVFers are bleeders - it sucks but it's true. We bleed more frequently than normal people. Don't worry about it and keep up the PMA!!!! Are you having another US next week? I bet you'll ...
