Re: Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

We - OMG! I have heard that you can spot a little when the eggs is implanting itself into the lining of the uterus and the fact that this happened to you twice! TWINS! You must be about to fall over with happiness! You said you're alone seeing this? Have you told DH? Of course you have! What was his ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

It's funny, the RE was my OB GYN and the one who tied my tubes and could do reversals before he became an RE. In our case the doctor said 6 weeks and I can get the surgery provided my DH sperm count is good and there aren't any factors there. Of course we still have my tests to finish which should ...

Re: Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

Yes I feel that God has been watching out for us all the way. My hunsband was near tripping over his feet when the doctor suggested this option as we both thought that it wasn't one. The fact that we couldn't do it naturally and this whole IVF process, while my DH was happy to do it to have a baby ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

Isn't it though?! My husband was near tripping on his feet as we left. We knew we wanted a baby but he always sighed at the fact that we couldn't do it naturally and this whole IVF process, while he was happy to do it to have a baby, he said he wished and prayed every night that God would resolve ...

Re: Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

WE - I am so happy for you! The day I read about your bleeding I got all choked up and my husband asked me what was wrong. I told him about your situation and he also hoped the best for you. When I told him about your beta he too was so happy for you and your DH. He thinks this board is awesome and ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

Hi Laura, so we met with the RE yesterday. (I tried to reply yesterday but my phone went all weird and I had no time at work.) This RE used to be an OB GYN. He delivered my daughter 16 years ago and is the one who tied my tubes. He reviewed his notes and said that he only put a clip on my tubes and ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

What you both say makes total sense. I guess I'm just getting ahead of myself. I guess it's normal. I'm so excited and scared all in the same breath. Our meeting with the RE is Monday morning. He will do the initial tests and then we will move from there. Please keep me in your prayers that I will ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

Oh Laura I'm so happy for you! I can only imagine who you both must be feeling right now. Our appointment to meet with the RE is on Monday. If my calculations are correct and we can start the birth control portion right away, we should be starting around the 20th of this month since that's the start ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

Hi Laura,

Thank you so much for your private message. Your story is very similar to mine and I needed to know that it is possible after so much time. Did you have your ultrasound? How did it go? How long before you know if it's a boy or girl?

Re: Fall/Winter Board Combined (Sept2011-Feb2012) This is it

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

HB it makes total sense how you dealt with the unknown. I have always been such a pesimist. Yet I feel like it should work the first time. I mean, I have had children before and I'm healthy. I work out and eat right. Then the other side of me says, exactly, its been a long time since you last had a ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

You are such strong women and I commend each of you for sticking though things. Your stories really do help. At our age there are so many variables. I love my 3 children dearly but I have never felt so worried about be able to concieve. I have found the man of my dreams and I'm afraid of failure ...

Re: Starting IVF 39 - scared

Thanks HB for sharing your story. It is very encouraging. Were you nervous about the cost or did your insurance cover it? In our case it's all out of pocket.
