Hi Vicky,

I unfortunately have had 2 ectopic pg's. One in 1993 in which my tube was saved and another in 1996 in which I lost my left tube.

The first one I simply missed my AF, went to doct, and found out it was ectopic. I had no signs when I went into the doct.

When I had the ectopic in 1996 it ...

Becky/Welshgirl38,

That Irish teddy bear is absolutely adorable!! I love it. You gals are so creative like that. I only know how to type...ha.

How can Carolyn's test not be BFP after that!

OMG Keisha-----I'm teary eyed reading this!!! I'm so sorry. I've read some other clinic horror stories on the board but this one takes the cake.

How unprofessional of the nurses and receptionist...totally totally unprofessional and uncaring. This is unacceptable behavior by anyone in the medical ...

Thanks Michelle for the meds offer. I will keep you posted if I need them based on the stims they put me on for my 2nd round. I have like 5 vials of progesterone left over since I never made it that far...ha...and boo hoo at the same time.

Pls keep me updated. That is very good you will be able to ...

Michelle,

Yes, we are almost neighboors!

You poor thing, so you take 55 to work into Chicago everyday?

I used to work all the way up by western and addison (north of wriggley)-----that was a terrible commute. I had road rage everyday---had to find a job closer to home.

Sorry about your DH ...

Hey Michelle,

I'm in New Lenox. I went to Center for Reproductive Health in Crest Hill. They were great. IVF failure totally due to me....:(

I too was on BCP for about 3 weeks then stright to 300 follistim and Menopur (2 amps w/ half cc h2o) for 10 days. I did 2 shots of ganirelix on 9/9 and 9/10 ...

Hey Michelle, great news for you!!

This is encouraging for me as my first IVF I did not have good repsonse either, however we did not cancel it.

What protocol did they have you on this time if you don't mind me asking??

Julie

For sure Wishfull / Carolyn......best of luck!!!!

Full moon starts 9/26....so, 9/27 will be a great day, right???

BabyB-

I'm considering Czech or Spain for IVF partly because we are self pay and our insurance does not cover anything, including meds. There is a clinic in Czech that has been doing IVF since 1982 and well recommended. I have already spoken to 3 gals that went there (2 for ED/IVF and 1 IVF). Many ...

Thanks Rotobaby and Kabillion!!

Good to hear your success stories! Nothing is for sure right regardless of what docts tell us our chances are...... docotrs tell you your chances are X or Y....then, nature does her own thing. Sometimes in our favor--- sometimes not.

What is ironic about my deal is ...

Hi Princess B,

Good luck to all you gals

Hi Kbat-

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you----high FSH.

Yes, I need to hear a success story too. My re told me not to try again---heck.....I only did IVF one time. Many ladies try more than once. He told me I needed donor egg. I have goten over the shock of that news (given to me 9/13 ...

Hi Cath Sheen,

Well......I'm wondeirng if your FSH is high...that may be their concern.

My FSH was high priro to IVF, on the 3rd day B/W and all thruought my stims. I only ended up with 3 follicles and 3 eggs :(

Not saying that is what they will tell you. But, the way my RE explained to me ...

Hi Want2bmom,

I'm very sorry to hear of your struggles!!

So, when you did the IVF's prior, did they collect a good amount of eggs? And, it sounds like they fertilized right? Just not implanting huh?

Does your RE think endometrious (sp)?

I have never had a d&c, so can not answer. But, wanted to ...
