I am battling IF for the 3rd time. We have an adopted dd and we have had two sons bio. But I have been dealing with this for over 10+ years. I have had 9 m/c's...so I've been through it all
Just looking for some moral support, I have an apt with REACH in a month to start a whole new work up! Anyone live near us??
Hi Linda,
I live in Concord, NC& am going to REACH also. They are the best! Which RE are you seeing? I see Dr. Teaff. I have ovarian failure so that means no eggs. We have been on the waiting list for one year for a egg donor & we finally received a donor in Feb. we are hoping to do IVF the end of March, first of April. If you ever need support this is a great site. The girls here are super! When are you going for your consult? Keep me posted. Its great to have someone close by to talk to.
Hi Linda! I am from Elon College, about 5 minutes from Burlington NC and about 30 minutes from Greensboro NC. I will be going to North Carolina Reproductive Center in Cary NC with Doctor Toma.
My problem is I ovulate mostly on my right side and I lost my right tube due to a huge cyst. I do ovulate on my left side and I have a good tube on that side, but my eggs don't seem to mature on the left side. I know that the left tube can pick up the right side egg, but its been over 3 and a half years now with no luck.
So I am moving on with IVF.
I have had 3 lives births, which resulted in death shortly afterwards. I had three girls, Leslie, Sarah and Kristi. They all were born with a nerve and muscle disease called Werdnig Hoffman. I have since remarried and Eddie and I have been trying. We had 1 m/c so far.
I wish you and WendyM, the best of luck on this IVF journey.
im also seening dr toma...live in richlands nc and so far we are on our way taking shots now for two days and they arent so bad but im really worried about that oil shot that we have to take for 12 weeks i think it is.?and the fact i hate needles to start with dosent help but its going to be so worth it for all of us i wish you all the best...
Hi everyone, I live in Charlotte and am going to REACH. I started on my Lupron shots this past weekend, and so far I'm having a hard time coping. It was okay the first couple days but then last night I started to feel very anxious and like I had drank about 5 cups of coffee. I had a hard time working today because of it. I'm just trying to talk myself thru it, but so far it's pretty bad, but I'll live I actually think that when I start the stimulation shots it might be better? I can handle being grouchy, but not this anxiety - it's awful. This is my first IVF experience.
dcb35! Wow I am sorry to hear that the Lupron is giving you a hard time. I have anxiety or what you call panic attacks anyways. I hope when I start the Lupron it want have that effect on me. I hope you are feeling much better. Once you see that BFP it will be worth it all.
glodie my dh gave me my shots it was ok with me as long as i didnt have to look at them lol the day of transfer it was up to me on how many i went with only two.so how are things going with u???well hope to hear from u soon..good luck
Hi Goldie and Walsh,
Good that I have found you. I also see Dr. TOMA at NCCRM. I am on Inj. Lupron since May 8th and starting on my stimms. from May 18th. Let us share our experiences.
USP
the ataff there is so great..everytime i had to go in to get my blood taking (which was 15 days in a row)the nurse always so warm and cheerfull so that helped alot..it was a long drive for us 2 hours one way..but so worth it for us..dr. toma gave us a great deal on our package cause it was all out of pocket and because dh is in the marine corps..he really gave us a cut rate on it and also had one of the drug company give us the shots because our insurance wouldnt cover those certain meds..i just dont think we would have been able to do that if he wasnt so there for us good luck and keep me posted
To Walsh,
