Although I tested positive for antiphospholipid antibodies, there is only 1 specific group of them that actually necessitates the use of blood thinners during pregnancy & it was not the type I have. (I apologize, but I can not remember the suffix these APA's ended with.) Some doctors opt to ...

I am sooo excited reading this thread. I feel the positive energy. I appreciate the updates, Wishfull. It is very helpful. I have tried to go back & read a few older threads here & there to bring myself up to date a little.

Chriss - While reading the older posts, I saw one you posted about ...

Wow! Wow! Wow! :D I thought I would drop in & see how you ladies are doing & am happy to find so many of you pregnant. I am sooooooo happy for you & the "soon-to-be pregnants" as well.

My little ones are getting bigger & busier by the day. They are learning quickly & it is exciting to see daily ...

HELLO CAROLYN - I DID MY TMT @ SHADY GROVE IN D.C. DH & I INITIALLY HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE W/A LOCAL CLINIC SO DECIDED TO DO A LOT OF HOMEWORK B4 CONTINUING TMT. WE CHECKED OUT CLINICS ALL OVER THE U.S. & A FEW BEYOND. (SAN FRANCISCO, ST. LOUIS, LOUISVILLE, CHICAGO, INDPLS, & MORE) WE FINALLY WENT ...

Hello PoohGirl - Good luck on your treatment. Your chances are very good because DE are so strong & healthy because of the donor's youth. Remember, mother nature has not even come close to catching up to today's world in which women don't necessarily reproduce before they reach their 20's. Oh well ...

I just wanted to drop in & say Hello to you ladies. I have so little time to post anymore because ED was successful for me. :lol: I am sooo sooo glad I did ED, even if it means I have been sleep deprived for the last 11 months+. My little angels are almost a year old & it still hasn't quite sunk in ...

I WONDER WHY DH COULDN'T JUST TEST PRIOR TO DONATION TO CONFIRM HE IS NEG. OBVIOUSLY, IF DH IS NEG NOW, HE WAS NEG THEN. LIKE I SAID, THE EMBRYOS WERE CREATED W/DH'S SPERM & DE, & THE DONOR WAS TESTED W/IN 30 DAYS PRIOR. MY CLINIC HAS NO INFO TO GIVE; THEY JUST TOLD ME TO CONTACT AN EMBRYO ADOPTION ...

I HAVE RUN INTO A PROBLEM IN DONATING MY EMBRYOS. IT SEEMS EMBRYOS ARE CONSIDERED HUMAN TISSUE; NOT HUMAN BEINGS! APPARENTLY, AFTER MAY, 2007, ONLY PEOPLE THAT UNDERGO INFECTIOUS DISEASE TESTING W/IN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO CREATION OF EMBRYOS CAN DONATE THEM TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS. THERE MAY BE A WAY TO ...

I WISH I COULD GIVE EVERY DESERVING WOMAN/COUPLE A BABY BECAUSE I KNOW HOW SAD WE FELT STRUGGLING W/THAT DESIRE, NEVER KNOWING IF WE WOULD EVER HAVE A BABY. I DO NOT LIKE FEELING AS IF I AM CONDUCTING A CONTEST. IT'S JUST THAT SINCE WE CAN NOT KEEP THEM, WE WANT THEM TO GET A CHANCE AT LIFE. WE WISH ...

YOUR PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE A PRETTY STRONG MATCH & YOU & YOUR HUBBY SOUND LIKE AMBITIOUS HARDWORKING PEOPLE. IT SOUNDS AS IF YOU WOULD HAVE LOTS OF TIME WITH THE LITTLE ONES IN THE SUMMER W/YOUR CAREERS BEING WHAT THEY ARE. WE ARE IN INDIANA BUT THE EMBRYOS ARE CRYOPRESERVED IN WASHINGTON, D ...

DH & I have 3 frozen embryos to donate to the right person/couple. We were blessed w/healthy twins but can not afford more children. We desperately want these embryos to have a chance at life. We ask the recipient person/couple to pay for continuing to freeze the embryos (about $400) & any other ...

YASMINA - FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK ABOUT US OTHER "OVER 40'S" B'CUZ TODAY IS THE 1ST DAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COME BACK TO THIS SITE. I AM SO EXCITED TO HEAR YOU DECIDED TO GO FOR IT & SUCCEEDED TOO. THE ONLY THINGS I COULD TOLERATE FOR MY M/S WERE THINGS W/LOTS OF CARBS &/OR SODIUM. REALLY HEALTHY FOR ...

I hope I can inspire you ladies to keep picking yourself up & trying again because I had a very very long road to get to where I am now. There were a lot of times I didn't think I ever would. I have never gone into my entire TTC history but it dates back several years, includes a lot of challenges ...

I declined amnio due to the risks. I also underwent the nuchial fold translucency test which showed measurements within normal range. The test was ordered by my OB but done by an MFS. However, since I am having twins, my OB recommended I decline B/W which he said was unlikely to be accurate w/twins ...
