Re: TTC for 3.5 years - currently on second round of IVF

Hi Margi,

My pregnancy test came back positive yesterday. I have another one on Thursday and depending on the results, an ultrasound around the 16th. Nervous, because I know the next few months are a crucial make or break time. Thanks for asking and please keep your fingers crossed!

Re: SO ANGRY *vent*

I am so sorry honey! That sounds devastating!
I am also surprised that a doctor would say something like that to you about the twins.
Have you thought about putting in a report to member services?

Again, I am so sorry for this nightmare you have to go through. Don't let anybody try to tell you what ...

Re: Adjusting to metformin

I took metformin for two years for PCOS. The first year was hell as it was a never ending battle with my stomach.
The second year, they put me on the extended release pills and that was much better. I was able to tolerate it at lower doses, but then my period stopped again, so they started pushing ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

I am in the middle of my second IVF with ICSI cycle and the stimulation phase keeps getting extended due to slow growing follicles. It's driving me nuts and I could use the support!

Hi everyone and good luck!!!

Longest cycle ever...going crazy!

Has anyone else ever experience this? How did it work out?

I was due for my egg retrieval this past Monday, but my follicles are not growing fast enough on the right side.
I've now been on the Gonal-F for almost 2 weeks and the Lupron for about a month and am super physically uncomfortable ...

Re: TTC for 3.5 years - currently on second round of IVF

Thanks Ginny. I can definitely understand taking a break. If this round doesn't work, we are waiting until next summer.

This round is making me sicker than last, as I am on different doses of the meds. I am also producing large follicles faster, which is a little worrisome, as I am hoping this ...

Re: Questions Re: IVF/ICSI

I just went through one cycle of IVF with ICSI and am now on my second.
It is really not as scary as it seems, after you go through it.
I don't want to scare you, but none of my eggs made it to the embryo stage, which I am told is uncommon with no real cause, but it happens. But, I also know of ...
