also,
Welcom Melissag: this board is a great support system particularly when it seems that no one else understands!!

Gina-I hope your arm feels better.. make sure you get good care as nerve damage can be difficult to heal!

Hi Ladies,
I just checked in and got updated on everyone... I just want to wish everone well and great PMA!

I spoke to DH the other night again about DE ....just want to have a backup plan. It is really hard to get him on board as he is so hesitant. I really want a back up plan to keep me sane!! I ...

NY4thtry: Yes, I'm at SIRM. I heard about them through you and after doing my own research, thought I'd give it a go with them! I'm with Dr. T. Sorry about what your Dad said... he must know that this is important to you and that was insensitive to say. We are here for you!

Regarding my High FSH ...

Hi Everyone,
I just got a call from SIRM and my FSH is 14.2 (taken on Day 4). I mean WTF!! It was 8.2 in January and 9.2 in July. How can it be so high! I already know my egg quality is poor with 4 miscarriages (all naturally conceived) due to chrmosomal abnormalities and now this! I was so excited ...

I was wondering if you were aware of good clinics to go to for Dnor Eggs. We are considering that as well since I have an egg quality issue.

Hi Ladies!
I recognize some of you from other posts. I got a BFN in August and I'm going for IVF#2 in Oct but do not have my dates yet since I am waiting for AF. Good luck to everyone!

NY4thtry : I had a consult with Dr. T at SIRM. I am trying to decide whether to stick with Cornell or change REs ...

Sorry, I'm not ghost but I just wanted to give my 2 cents. I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had a few m/c and my Dr. did D&C for all except for one where I was bleeding anyway. I was around 9 weeks for one of them. In my experience, I prefer the D&C both for emotional and physical reasons. D&C might ...

I have a good friend at NYU who is going to get me some feedback about SIRM. I'll keep you updated. I'm not sure I believe in the immune stuff but I am intersted in hearing about CGH and staggered IVF. I get the feeling the challenge is to actually get an embryo not only to pass CGH, but to survive ...

NY4thtry,
We communicated on other threads but I wanted to follow up and see how you are doing with your Dr. search.

I have a follow-up with my Cornell doc on Wed to discuss what he thinks of the first round and the next step(s). I also made a consult appt at SIRM for next week. (just to refresh ...

HI Everyone,
I know I haven;t been posting much but I've been reading and keeping up with all the news, both good and bad. Great news for all the BFPs! I want to be an IVF BFP someday!

My beta was today and I am a BFN. At least I was mentally prepared because POAS was -. I promised myself a few ...

The PGD is for recurrent miscarriage. In fact, the only reason we are doing IVF is for the PGD. I need to have a follow-up consult with my doc and see what he thinks. I go to Spandorfer and have no issues with him so far. I mean, there's not a whole lot he can do or say about my situation until we ...

I was hoping to get yourt input on my situation. I know there are others with recurrent miscarriage but it's been hard to get info on what people do. We are at Cornell. MY day 2 FSH is 9.1. I just got a BFN on IVF#1. 8 out of 12 mature aggs fertilized and 2 of the 8 passed PGD. 2 morula were ...

Csunshine:
This is what I found on this site when I was looking for info on Morula... look!!! early blasts are way ahead of the game! This is an explantion from "Ghost":

"Early blasts are more advanced than morulae.

The order is:

2pn stage (1 cell with 2 pronuclei)
Cleavage stage (2 to 10 ...

CSunshine,
Early Blasts can certainly be keepers... so I've read. It is normal for them to not turn to blasts until day 6 so maybe they turned to blasts after transfer. I've read that the embies thrive in the natural environment (uterus) much better than the petri dish so don't let the fact that the ...

Baby Crazy : You and I share the same ER, ET and Beta! Good luck with everything. How many did they transfer?

I thought I felt a few symtoms this morning but it could be phantom pregnancy pains.... i hope they come back! You are right that it's different for everyone. My past pregnancies (all m/c ...
