Ghost, my DH was on Clarithromycin 500mg twice a day for 10 days (20 pills) for a bacterial infection. His last dose was Tuesday December 1st. He has an appointment for a semen analysis this Wednesday. Everything we have read online says that the antibiotics will reduce motility and count. Is this ...

Hi Girls,

So much has been going on! CONGRATS to all the BFP's and PUPO's! How exciting.

karenthescorpio - I am from Northern NJ too, Sussex County. What RE are you using?

Katie - I'm sorry about what happened at your RE appt. I had the same thing happen to me. Some people are such insensitive ...

Hi Girls,

I have been away for awhile - have missed alot! I have a lot of reading to do to catch up!

I was supposed to start stims on 8/27 but got the dreaded call from RE that my FSH skyrocketed and they want me to wait until next cycle :cry:
They think it is from the BCP's. So, know we are ...

Something tells me I should have tried to be more upbeat.

Chris and Ghost - Thanks so much for your replies!

Ghost - No need to sugar coat things! I wanted an honest opinion!!! Even my low FSH is not low by a long shot. I was really just shocked about the extreme rise in such a short time. Thank ...

Sorry don't have any answers to your FSH questions. What is your Antral follicle count? That could give you a good indication on how many follicles that you could develop if stimmed correctly. You could start stims and see how you respond, if it isn't good then you could cancel your cycle before ER ...

I am 37 and had an FSH of 19 a few months ago and after months of searching for a RE that is high FSH friendly, we went to do an IVF cycle last month. I had cysts on my overies so I was put on BCP for 1 month. I had spotting the whole time. My last pill was Saturday and the spotting continued. So ...

Hi Everyone,

I hope everybody had a great weekend.

Wow, a lot has been going on since the last time I was on! I have a lot of catching up to do.

dtao & mjay - You poor girls! I am sorry you guys had such a horrible experience but am glad you are both feeling better. Thanks for sharing your ...

Hi Girls,

wolffie- I so agree with you to still share intimate moments. Sometimes I have to stop myself from having IVF be all I think and talk about and take a break! I hope you have lots of great weather for the rest of Aug to ride Harley with DH.

shelbyrn0214- I am sure the clinic is used to ...

Hi Girls,

Reading through all of your posts, you all make me feel way more confident about the injections and meds.

jaydentd - Hopefully when I go for my u/s & b/w they will show me and DH how to give the injections. They have a video on their website also.

shelbyrn0214 - I would hope my clinic ...

Can I join? After 8 pages already, I really feel like a late comer!

My clinic had a cancellation and if I get my meds in time, this will be my first IVF. I'm 38, no kids. DH is 39 today. He had a vasectomy too long ago to consider a reversal.

I'm really worried about how all the drugs are going ...

Hi all,

I was home sick with a stomache bug for the past few days but am back at work this AM.

statsgoddess- Isn't it funny how now you WANT AF to come. I am on day 9 of BCP's and can't wait to get AF and move forward.


I kind of feel like our Clinic just leaves us in the dark. Everone seems to ...

WOOHOO!!!! Welcome Jen! Great to have you! Tell us a little more about yourself. How come IVF? Any children previously? Can't wait to hear more! Take care!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I forgot to allow my sig.

No children previously. We have been ttc for 4 years naturally before we went to a RE ...

Hi Ladies,
I was wondering if I could join you! I am on BCP's for this month due to cysts on my overies. September we will start out 1st IVF. I am very nervous but very excited at the same time.

Good luck to everyone and I hope we all get our BFP!!

Thank you both for the information. I feel like the more RE's I see and the more info I get from them, the more my head spins and I don't know who to go with.

lynniecat: Thank you for sharing your experience and Congrats on your pregnancy. I have heard of Shady Grove and I may check them out. We ...

Hi,
Thank you for your replies. I realize I left some info out. I just turned 37, DH is 38 and had a AFC yesterday two follies on each side.

My first RE who did the Laproscopy, never talked donor egg and gave us about 50% success but is so expensive that we would be lucky to afford 2 cycles ( and ...
