Hello Guys
I just loved being able to come here to read uplifting stories about IVF. It really gave me hope for what is going on with me at this point in the game. I just am so thankful for the support that I have gotten-thank you all so much it really means a lot to me.

I got my call today and it went up to 87 so the doc said that it is going up well and that is some of the best news ever! I will be even more happy when they get super high! But for now I am doing well.

Just thought I would share this with you all because it is inspiring as this is my first go at IVF!!!

There is hope...
Tanya

Hello All
I just wanted to drop a note and say that I got to see my beanie on the u/s yesterday and it was so amazing to see the little bean and its heartbeat. I just loved it and I am so thankful that I got pregnant the first time as well as you other wonderful women!!! I was so inspired by all of your stories and I was so thankful for your responses! It was so encouraging to read! Now I have an encouraging story to tell!

Thanks
Tanya

kristiA - What was ur problem was it High FSH or Male factor?

I am going thru my first IVF cycle in Aug 2006 and my case is high FSH.
I am looking for some inspiring success cases with High FSh.

You know, I read a lot about FSH levels now, but I was never aware of FSH being brought up during any of my infertility years. So I guess mine was not a problem. My issue was minor endometreosis. I never had it severe. But I did have laparoscopy surgery twice to laser it out (which of course can leave scar tissue). Everything else checked out fine...tubes, various levels, etc. So I guess it was just my endometreosis all those years. Or maybe it just wasn't "my time". :)

Good luck to both of you, Champa & Wannababy! I really wish the best for everyone going through what we do. It's so difficult! Keep smiling, be hopeful, but also don't let the journey consume you and get you down when things aren't perfect (hard to do, I know!).
