Hi Ladies,

Well, I still have not peaked (for ovulation) and today's day 24! I would assume I missed it somehow but my monitor is still saying my levels are "high"--I use the digital Clear Plan Fertility Monitor. Normally you start checking levels around day 10 and they'll read "low" then the ...

Hi Kelly, I have NOT peaked (day 17)--I'm usually right on day 14 or 15, oh well. This will actually be IVF #3 for this baby (1st in Sept and 2nd in Nov).
Thanks for being so organized with all our "stuff". You're great!

Welcome Jeannie! I'll be 42 in July and our church is having a baby boom right ...

Renee: I just had to say how sorry I am for your loss :cry: Miscarriage sucks. I have a friend who also has infertility issues but has never had a m/c and I have to say, after having experienced both, I'd rather not get pregnant. Such an emotional rollercoaster. You'll be in my prayers. Oh and your ...

Suzanne, thanks for the reply--congrats on the huge success, I hope the protocol works as well for me! It's actually the same protocol I used last time and I responded well (13 eggs ret, 7 fert and 5 on ET) and I got pregnant with twins, but they didn't make it. I figure at this point it's all ...

Hi Ladies,

Well, I am going to go for it and try a 3rd IVF round since Sept. 08. I had my hysteroscopy the other day and everything looks good. My FSH at day 3 was 8.8 and my estradial was 40. I figure it's now or never so this will be my last attempt for having a baby. Back in 01 I had IVF and it ...

Hi Ladies,

I've been away thinking and praying and sulking and all those other things when you're dealing with what we all are dealing with. After my m/c of twins in December, I swore I wouldn't do IVF again, but I found that after the hormones had evacuated my body, I could look at things a tad ...

Ladies,

I hate to be a downer, but our twins didn't make it. Needless to say my husband and I are dealing with many emotions. I'm scheduled for a d & e on 1/8 and a follow up consult with my dr. 1/26. I don't know what I want to do from here. Adoption? I don't know if I can do IVF again. This was ...

Hi Ladies,

My nurse couldn't be very "reassuring" at our 2nd ultrasound. The babies were measuring 2 weeks behind (consistent with last visit--so they "consistently" grew) and only one heartbeat was detected. Also, the heartbeat was slower than normal: 96bpm rather than 120-150 bpm. After scanning ...

Ladies,

I have been laying low the last two weeks thinking everything's fine one minute and not the next. Tomorrow is u/s #2. I'm actually feeling pretty good about going, though I'm sure I'll still be nervous in the a.m. I'm praying that the two little ones will have strong heartbeats and will ...

Ladies, thanks for the encouraging words regarding my first u/s. I was especially delighted to read SilverAngel679 & Jessica's responses that were so similar to mine. This roller coaster ride we're on is a doozy, not to mention the hormones! I woke up yesterday convinced I was no longer pregnant and ...

Hi Kelly,

The tech. couldn't measure the sacs because they were "out of range" (too small) so I didn't get a "day" measurement. She just said that at this stage they "should" measure 1 cm and they measure 1/2 cm. What do you think about this? It seems big to me, but the nurses kept saying not to ...

Hi Ladies,

I went for my u/s today (today I'm 5w5d prego, though my er was in the afternoon, so the fertilization would have been later in the day and my u/s was 7:40 am, so maybe I'm 5w4-1/2d!; am I grasping?) Anyway, everything went well, BUT the technician said that the TWO (yes two) sacs ...

Hi All,

I went for my second beta 11/26 and it was 496 (1st beta on 11/24= 259). They were happy. I go for my u/s 12/4 and I'm a nervous Nelly. I want to just "enjoy" the fact that I'm pregnant but I'm so busy 2nd guessing every little thing. With my DD my 2nd beta went up way more than double. I ...

I went for beta test today, my DD's 7th birthday, and it came back at 259 (today is 16dp3dt) and they said that looks good. I go back Wednesday to make sure #'s are doubling. Sounds like one baby? We just pray it sticks and is healthy. I'm very crampy--sound normal?
