Thanks! It took us eight years, 5 IUIs and 3 IVFs but it was worth it!

I drank red wine while stimming and no problems, got lots of eggs and am now pg. I think red wine has good stuff in it.

Jools,
I'm sure you will get lots of responses, here is what I did.
I got AF after taking Lupron for 7 days. I took 250 of Gonal-F starting day 3 then went in for bw and scan on day 7. 300 does not sound high to me and you should be OK re: OHSS because they will see you on day 7 and can lower the ...

Thank you Elizabeth, Barny, Paige, Alicia, Mia, Susan, Sandra and anyone else I may have missed for your help through this difficult time. I'm still waiting for it to be over. I feel like I've gained 10 pounds (really only 4) and I'm still really tired. I've read on other boards that the HCG could ...

Mia,
Just chiming in to say you have every right to feel sorry for yourself and be angry, we all do at some point. You're not being selfish. And this certainly isn't a little problem, it invades almost every part of your life whether or not you want it to, so as the other ladies have said go ahead ...

Well, it's as I thought, time to call it quits. No heartbeat at 7 1/2 wks. My doctor assures me that it's probably chromosomal problem and nothing to do with me. She also confirmed that it does prove that my lining is good and able to support a pg, which I was always skeptical of. Basically the ...

Jools,
Wow 2,500 euros is cheap, here in the US it's about 11,000 euros! I also had gonal-f, and my shots were sub-cutaneous, meaning under the skin not intra-muscular. I just pinched up a fold of skin on my stomach and stuck the needle (making sure you are using the small tip needle) all the way in ...

Caroline, what a nightmare, I can't believe you had to go through that. I would have been terrified! When you were throwing up all the time your clinic should have done something! Anyone can get dehydrated very quickly. I can't believe they said you were just nervous! Also that estrogen level sounds ...

Well as always I do tons of research whenever I need some answers and basically when the embryo is growing a million changes are happening, circulatory system is developing, limb buds, nasal pits etc... some of these changes at 6 1/2 weeks should be visible on the ultrasound and they aren't on mine ...

Well, went for the scan and BW today and the bean measures 7mm which 4 more than last time but still behind where it should be at this point. They think they see an egg sac but not sure. HCG is up to 3562. Most people see a heartbeat by now. We go back on Friday and if we don't see something ...
