Thanks for your reply. We are still going back and forth with the idea. I'm not sure what we are going to do. We still have a few more weeks to decide. G

PGD testing is a kind of genetic testing that they do on the embryos. They take a cell from each one after fertilized and send it off to a lab in another state. You will hear within 48 hours which embryos are defected and which ones are not. My doc. said that maybe 50% of my eggs are "bad" and that ...

Hey everyone,
I don't reply much but I do read the forums a lot. I was just wondering if anyone has had Pgd testing of if it was ever suggested by your doctors? My dh and I went in for our post IVF visit with our doctor because it had failed and he said that my cytoplasm around my eggs looked ...

I was wondering the same thing...I just had my ET last Friday and went in for blood work this morning. My progesterone is only 55.8 and estrogen 794. I'm really not sure what it means. Wow, yours is a lot higher. Do you think mine are too low? I'm so confused!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that Lis... Hope it works out for you next time!!!!! I will be moving to IVF but I will try to catch up with you guys. Good luck and best wishes. G

I have a silly question. I just started the bc pill today because my doc's office wants to keep everyone on a schedule so they are getting me ready for Sept. I know what stimulation meds. are, that's right before the retrieval right??? But what does down regging mean?? Is that before the stims?? I ...

Amanda,

So sorry to hear your news...I was hoping for you!!! The same exact thing happened to me on my 4th IUI. I had a level of 8 too and they said it was inconclusive. I knew it wouldn't last because they were apologizing to me right away. I had to double the progesterone but eventually my levels ...

I am all new to the IVF thing too and scared to death. I go in tomorrow for blood work and will start the pill for a few weeks. Then the shots. I should be having retrieval the week of Sept. 11th. Good luck to everyone!!! Hopefully us newbies can help eachother out along the way!!!

Hope you don't mind if I join you guys in this thread. I am starting IVF this month. I just got AF so they are putting me on birth control starting Monday. I will do all of the fun stuff/meds. and will probably have retrieval in Sept. This is my first time with IVF so I am really scared!!! Any ...

Lisa,

Hopefully you won't see AF and get a BFP!!!! Have a safe and exciting trip!!!!!!! G

Yep, I didn't remember a thing. The worst part was later that day because they pump your abdomen up with gas to see everything. So it took a day or two for all of the gas to go away. If a lap. is part of your game plan eventually and you don't want to waste any more time then I would say go for it ...

Just got the call and my blood test is negative! So it looks like we will be doing IVF now. I'll start as soon as AF comes around. G
