Ghost, you need to know just how much you are doing for all of the ladies on this board! You helped me so much when I was going through my IVF cycles (DD born 12/09)!!! Now that I am thinking about #2, I am back on the boards. I love reading your responses...you are always honest and compassionate. It's unfortunate but a lot of times it seems that the REs don't have time to answer all of the questions that come along with the IVF process...you're doing their job for them!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to respond. And thank you for doing the job that you do!!!!
Me: 35 no known issues, DH 35 low morphology (2%) and low motility, bilateral vericocelectomy
IUI with clomid #1-#3: all BFN
IVF#1: BFN
IVF #2: M/C at 8 weeks
FET #1: BFP! DD 2 yrs old!
Trying for #2 soon and anxious again...didn't think I would be.
I hope my posts help some to feel better or make informed choices. I don't post for personal gain, and I've never steered anyone to my clinic. So it really means a lot to read posts like those above.
Please keep in mind that I am no expert.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
Yes, I must agree. We are all so very grateful for all the time and compassion you put into answering our questions...and patiently answering the same one over and over at time!!!

I agree... Ghost has been a real lifesaver... even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear - no rose colored glasses, just actual factual information that is always needed in the most dire of circumstances.
Ummm is Ghost a she or a he? Always wondered!!
And... THANK YOU!
