Great. Thanks to all for responding. I had my cervical dilation today. The procedure was kind of painful, but other than that, I'm fine. I'm having my mock transfer tomorrow, so he's planning to take it out then. We'll see. We asked him why we aren't conceiving at this point (originally male factor ...

Souris,

Thanks for the reply. I'm just ready to get the ball rolling. The last ET we did was with a full bladder, and it was so uncomfortable. So, I'm used to it. This time, I'm bringing in a portable cd player with a spa cd, so I can stay totally relaxed during the whole thing. That's what I did ...

never mind, figured out what er was. BIG FAT DUH!!! Yes, we're going through everything again until it works. It's worked before, so it has to work again. Just has to! I'm thanking God every night for the miracle that he is about to bless me with. That's the only way I can get through this, is by ...

Well, my dh has a low sperm count, but that really shouldn't matter. Just makes us great candidates for ICSI, which is what we do. This doctor was stumped after the second tranfer didn't take last year. We had a consultation with him a few weeks ago, and he said I respond well to all the meds, so ...

Jodic,

I haven't ever heard of those meds either, but we just have to have faith in our doctors. Sometimes that can be hard.

I had the dye put in my tubes to check for blockage before. I was told to take some motrin beforehand, b/c there may be slight cramping. I thought I could be tough and just ...

Hi Shelley,

After all the trouble and heartache that you have been through, I know your miracle is right around the corner. Keep thinking positive.

Stephanie

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stephanie and I'm 33 years old. I have a beautiful 4 year old dd, who was conceived through IVF. Our problem turns out to be male factor, in fact his count is decreasing by the year, practically. Prior to the IVF when we conceived my dd, we went through 3 ...

Jodic,

I'm not very high tech either, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of the acronyms, but it's taking a while. Congratulations for finding the love of your life. It's comforting to know that you have a best friend to experience all of this with you. My husband has been fabulous through ...

Pauline,

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it. Have a quick question. Has anyone ever heard of cervical dilation? My doctor is doing that on Monday and I'm hopeful that this will help. Any thoughts?

Thanks again!!!

Hi Jodic,

Thanks for responding. Looks like your about a week ahead of me. Good luck to you. How many cycles have you done? This will be our third. We have a dd that is 4 years old, who was conceived through IVF/ICSI. So, we have proof that it works. We have done this twice since her, with no luck ...

Has anyone ever heard of your doctor dilating your cervix before your transfer? :roll: I'm going in on Monday for that and then the next day is my mock transfer. My retrieval and transfer won't be until next month. This will be our 3rd attempt. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it ...

Hi all.

I'm looking for a cycle buddy. I started my pills this weekend and will start my Lupron next week. If my calculations are correct, I should be doing my retrieval/transfer around Valentine's Day. I'd love to chat with some people who are in the same boat as me, to make the time go by faster ...
