Hi Rae- Thank you for your response :). I think (after doing research on the net last night til 4:00am-- it's crazy isn't it?) I am going to go with acupuncture the next 10 weeks and do our IVF in September. The dr. wants August and the Acupuncturist wants October-- so I'm compromising :). Actually ...

Hi Rae76-

I should have read my old blogs before I had written up above :/. You had actually chatted with me once about your DH's sperm, 2.7%. And I remember now that you got pregnant twice naturally.

Did you end up doing Acup. or did you get pregnant b4 you started it all? What about herbs ...

Hi Rae76. I posted on here a few months ago and I believe you responded to me a few times. I had IVF/ICSI in January and got a BFP. I unfortunately lost the baby at 3.5 months in April.

We are about ready to do our second IVF and I was doing some research tonight and came upon your posts. I was ...

Hi you guys- thank you again :). We went in for another check up yesterday and peewee was still hanging in there. What has happened is he has developed what is called Cystic Hygroma. The result is 100% fatal, with this usually happening before birth. Only 5 cases of them alive in the world. We ...

Jo- thank you. Do you know what the measurement was for your friend?? I know that if it's slightly elevated there can still be the risk, but the low chance as well of Down's.

They said I could have it done, but most likely just putting myself through the waiting game with the same result in the ...

6mm Nuchal Translucency- Recommending termination of baby

Hi everyone= I am in need of some serious advice. Today we went for our Nuchal test and I am 12wk 6days pregnant. The fold on the back of the neck was measured at 6mm. Which is twice the "normal" size.

The Dr. basically said the baby has Down Syndrome or possibly Turner Syndrome and a severe heart ...

Wow- thanks you guys for that information. I had done some reading of some clinics here in the US that don't always jump to ICSI with morphology either. My clinic was very adamant about it so this is what we went that route. On one hand I'm glad that we just went for the 'bang' and didn't have to go ...

Hi Rae- I just saw your post. I'm new to this forum too and posted on a different thread, but received great feedback from the gals on here. Do you mind me asking you a very personal question?? Our only infertility issue is my DH's morphology level. I was curious what your husbands rate was since ...

Lis- that's wonderful. I had my U/S today too and we were able to see one little peewee with a heartbeat. WOW WHAT AN AMAZING THING THAT IS :). We are very very very happy. So NOW I KNOW, if I lose symptoms, I will not worry. They will all come back around again.

I was even worried because I got ...

Mandapan- I scan the day before you. My Re said I will basically be on progesterone for 12 weeks. At my scan though, they might switch me to a weekly shot. Not sure if I'm going to opt for that, I want to find out more details. The daily shots are causing quite a bit of depression for me, but I can ...

You gals are literally AWESOME, thank you so much! I can't tell you the depression I've been feeling. My DR. also said that is due to the progesterone as well, which I do really BAD on Birth Control. I always wondered if it was the estrogen or progesterone. I think I've found my answer. I'm learning ...

Hi everyone- I just found this site and thought it would be helpful to post my question. This is my first IVF/ICSI cycle. We got a + on 1/29/07. I am on progesterone shots right now. Before I got my + I was having TONS of symptoms. First off, I felt pregnant; I was constantly hungry, VERY tired ...
