Hi everyone! :D

Sorry I’ve been MIA for so long…I just needed a break from IVF…. Also, I wanted to post a couple of days ago but for my bad luck my computer battery crashed and I couldn’t even switch it on! So I have borrowed my SIL’s computer today (she doesn’t use it much) and here I am now sending smoke signals to by cyber buddies…I will try and catch up on everyone soon!...

So, last Saturday I had my WTF appt with my RE and it looks like we are running out of options here. :( He told us that we have tried all protocols so far and I had a Labaroscopy and Hysteroscopy with no findings, we have had made every blood test there is out there and its very strange that we haven’t had a pregnancy so far. My RE was very skeptical for our situation and told us that the only thing that we haven’t done yet is the PGD/CGH and endo biopsy. If we do this next time and still no baby, considering that the PGD will show normal embryos, we then need to consider Egg Donor or sperm donor. Of course I jump in there and said yes for Egg Donor. As I told you girls before I want my DH to have the more “input” in the baby making since this is very important for him. He doesn’t seem to agree much with the idea b/c he feels guilty for going through Ivf b/c of him but I told him that is the end result that matters for me and that is bringing home our baby/ies. So next step is I rest until October and in October I give my RE a call to arrange for my endo biopsy (minor D&C..other girls from the PAT board done it before and it just last 5min in the doctors office..) my RE has this other big shot Doctor friend from Israel and he is going to arrange for him to come and perform that just for me. :mrgreen: I really appreciated that! He seems to really care and want to help us in anyway he can. That means that special Israeli doctor is coming either in October (hopefully) or November and the following month we are starting our 8th IVF cycle. This minor D&C needs to be done a month prior to the beginning of the fresh cycle. That means our next cycle is going to start either Novenber or December...I cant wait! :D

I have spent the past 10 days weeks at the pool doing sunbathing, visiting friends and having BBQ’s over our place. We are trying with DH to make the best of our time and try to have a bit of fun after all those negatives we had in the past 2ys. We promised to talk again about IVF first week of October when I make my appt with RE to arrange the next steps. We agreed that this our time now and we need to take advantage of being alone and enjoy our selves….before babies come into our lives…today I have an appt for waxing, and to the hair salon to cut and dye my hair. time for changes! :mrgreen: We have plans for the weekend to go at our friends beach house and next week we have plans going back and forth at the beach, hanging around in our pool and do some clubbing…its been ages to do that!!..also for the next weekend we have rented a place by the beach where we are going from Friday morning and coming back Sunday night. We made a promise to our selves that we are going to have fun, fun, & nothing but fun! Yay!

I am looking forward to start this 8th cycle! Is going to be either the winning one or the last one with my own eggs. Either way we are getting our BFP SOON!!! I am pretty confident about that!...otherwise I better start packing for the nut house! :wink:

I will try and catch up with all of you before I move on to the Fall board...my eye caught the title of one of the posts....cool! :D

Baby dust to us all chicas!!! I am sure that we are all getting our BFP's before the end of this year and we are bringing our babies home in 2012!!! :D :wink:

Good Morning Everyone!
SO Glad the weekend is here and one week of crazytown is down! Trying not to think to much into all of this, I mean there is no way to possibly have 7 follicles to make it, but like I said before I will do ANYTHING to be pregnant even if it's at risk for multiples. Must stop thinking about that for now...Today dh and I are off and spending some time on the water. His boat is finally in working order, and I'm glad he has something to play with to get his mind off of TTC too:D

Anton, I have missed you so much! You and dh have some wonderful plans lined up and I hope you enjoy every second.
I'm thinking the same way that if this cycle doesn't work, we will learn so much and consider donors too.

Lyd10, thank you but no poas this time, I personally think they are the devil.

MooreBaby, yes thank you dh is much better this morning, he was out mowing grass when I came home yesterday and when I walked in the house was all cleaned up. I was like you are supposed to be sick, but he didn't want to spend Friday doing these "chores" with me and I couldn't blame him b/c it takes him one hour and me all day to clean. :)

BFN! That's all she wrote. Our journey has come to an end.
Its time for DH and I to finally come to terms that is will be just us and our dog. Its a real shame; my DH would have been such a proud and awesome dad and it just makes me sad that I will never see him hold his own child. So I think I will drink myself into a deep stuper tonight and push forward.

I want to thank all you kind and caring women for all your support. I hope all your dreams and hopes finally come true! Stay positive and strong. You all deserve the best!!

Good Luck to everyone!! Baby Dust to all!! God Bless!!!

XOXOXO
Tina

I just got off the phone w/ a nurse & was told to come back for another SnS Sunday morning. I forgot to ask her for the results of my b/w from this morning, but I do have my #s from the u/s. My lining is at a 7.0. On my left, I have 1 that's 12.5 (16 x 9), 1 that's 10.5 (11 x 10), & 6 that are less than 10. On my right, I have 1 that's 13.5 (14 x 13), 1 that's 12.5 (13 x 12), 1 that's 11.5 (12 x 11), 1 that's 10.5 (11 x 10), & 4 that are less than 10.

I'm moving right along. Hopefully, I will see more growth on Sunday's SnS. Like I said in my previous post, I should be triggering around Wednesday. I hope I'm not jinxing myself, lol! :|

Tina- Oh honey, I'm so sorry! Are you saying that you're done b/c of financial reasons? If yes, there are many different options available...the Attain program, risk-share programs, clinical trials. It breaks my heart! Please know that I'm thinking of you. (((HUGS)))

Lyd10-I am so sorry. I know there is nothing anyone can say to make this any better. I haven't given up hope yet and you should not give just yet. Others on this board have seen Betas fluctuate ad have had healthy pregnancies. So don't throw in the towel just yet. I am glad thought to hear that if in fact this is a chemical you are not ready to give up and you be moving on to the next cycle in November. These situations are always difficult and heartbreaking because we don't understand why one cycle works and anotherone doesn't. And we will never know. But don't loose faith, you wl get that BFP if it isn't now it will happen soon. Know that we all love you and are here for you. I will keep you in my thoughts an prayers. Sending you a BIG hug.

Lyd10, I am praying that Monday will show a turnaround, I know you are bummed but I really feel it's going to happen!

MaTina, I was also pulling for you today. :( I'm so sad reading the results but as we firmly believe and deeply know if we hold on long enough it's going to happen. There are options out there and I'm praying that tomorrow will bring you into a different light. :D

Moorebaby, looks like you are moving right along and very soon you will be PUPO. ( I almost typed son, instead of soon for those of you who believe in signs! :D )

AFM: Today we took the boat out and I fell asleep on the way home, guessing progesterone will make you feel that way.

Ladies, I did post earlier but for some reason it didn't publish on line and I didn't realise that until I checked back in now. So I'll try again.

MaTina: I'm so sorry to hear your news. I don't know your story but it seems from some of the things you have said that this has been a long journey for you. I hope you can take some time and start to heal from this cycle. I know there is nothing I can say that will help in any way but I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Wishingand hoping: How are you doing? Are you resting?

Lyd10: Damn, Im sorry to hear that about your beta. I know I havn't a clue about these things but from what others are saying it doesn't have to mean a chemical or a negative. I really hope Monday's numbers are better. Can you do anything that will even distract you for a little while this weekend?

Moorebaby: Wow, you have beautifully active ovaries! And definatly no jinxing going on :)

Sunshine: Sleep is definately good!

AFM: had my third scan today. Numbers good (but not as good as Moorebaby!). Lining good and thick and seems like 5 on the right, two of those at 13.5 and the rest around 11 - 12. 3 on the left, one of those is 18.5 (which Im presuming might be a little large at this stage?) and the others around 10 if I remember correctly. So I'm back in for a scan on Sunday morning and I think it might be collection on Tue/Wed. What surprised me was that the nurse said that if collection/retrieval happened on Wed then it would be transfer on Fri - that sounds like a 2 day transfer to me and she said it was day 2 but doctor always called it day 3. Might try and get clarity on that on Sunday. Other than that, today is the first day I've really battled weepiness and possibly misunderstanding people due to feeling very sensitive. I really hope that passes!

Hi ladies, and TGIF!! :). I was back at work 3 days this week for professional devel meetings before students come back in another week-- ugh I'm not ready to be back yet! The summer off is so nice! Well, had more b/w this am-- the nurse called and left msg this afternoon and just said "everything looks great and we will see you on 23rd.". So, I'm assuming numbers are all good- I can't wait till the u/s on 23rd to see what's going on in there. I definately feel a little something going on!! Anton- it is so good to hear that you and your dh are having fun while you are gearing up for your next cycle. You are in good company in the Fall Board and I continue to wish you the best. Tina-- thoughts and prayers with you and I hope you can find an option out there- this Infertility stuff costs a fortune. Lyd- I hope and pray you get better news on Mon. I'm can't imagine how nerve-wracking this must be for you. Hope you have a great weekend to stay pre-occupied and do something fun! Moorebaby- great numbers! Yay! Ninde- numbers sounds good to me- and I just noticed your in Ireland- wow- I've never been there but I imagine its gorgeous! Sunshine-- One more week! Woohoo :). Hope you all have a great weekend and have lots of fun!!
