We are almost into May...so some of us will start tmt!!! After my appointment tomorrow - I will discuss with DH the best month to start round 2. He travels alot so we need to make sure the timing is ok...but we also have frozen backup if need be. I am really curious what the doc will say tomorrow and how he is going to change my meds....early ovulation with 1st try - with only 6 follies to begin with...lost 3 eggs to the ovulation and 2 were mature...only 1 good egg which fertilized but wasn't the best quality (DH was very concerned!). I was happy just to make it to the 2WW
Traci,
Look at you go!!! You are the "Comeback Queen" for sure!
I'm going to remember the example you are setting when my next set-back hits.
It will be interesting to see what the doc does different this time for you. They do learn quite a bit with each try - and from all I've read and heard - do seem to improve the odds significantly along the way.
Tell us how everything goes tomorrow!

Hi LittleP and Randa - good sign to be a Blooming Mayflower and then become a JuJu Jelly Bean!
I am so anxious to talk to doc today - I have all my questions prepared..unfortunately it is all in german so it is 100 times harder to understand all the medical lingo - but he will speak english if I get totally confused
Hi
I just wanted to say hello to all the other JuJu Jelly Beans hope you are all well, not long now until some of you start your treatments!!!!!!!
I am still waiting for my test result to come back from Chicago to see if the humira is doing anything, so not much going on at the moment.
Ellie,
Best of luck on your test results! Let us know when they come and what the results indicate for you.

Went to consultation today...Synarela is doubled from last time to get my LH under control (early Ovulation last time). Purogen (150IE) remains the same but my first ultrasound will be earlier to see how the follies are developing and to determine if we need to up the dosage. Also will be on 100mg aspirin (doctor was surprised I had asked!)...but must be stopped 2 days prior to EC due to thinning of the blood. Doc said the aspirin can not hurt egg development/uterus blood flow - can only help. In regards to acupuncture - he was pretty neutral...but I am going to do a couple sessions anyway.
But the best news....DHs motility went up to 56%!!!! (was at 10-21%)
Now just the waiting game....and of course I always have the hope deep down inside that maybe just maybe we can conceive naturally.....
Ellie - I hope you get good results..please let us know!
Traci,
Sounds like your docs are fine-tuning your treatment, which can only be a good thing for your June? cycle.
Aspirin, huh? Now you've really got me thinking. I'm going to bring that up to my doc, too.
Congrats on the increase in motility for DH!!! Wow! That is a big difference!
I can feel your determination. It is contagious, so keep it up!

Hi Randa - I just want to make sure we do what we can and can't say 'oh we should have ..or could have...'. DH's motility is a super nice surprise...pretty amazing!! I think stress had a lot to do with it...he is in a new job and loves it!...and it shows
Tracii glad to hear you have had some good news about DH and that they are changing things for your next cycle.
It is always a waiting game don't you think? But hopefully not long now until you start another cycle.
I have just had some good news, the clinic phoned to say they had my results back and my NK cells had dropped significantly and we could start treatment as soon as AF starts! Unfortunately they initially told me I would need at least two months tmt so we are going away just at the critical time! Never mind at least I will be relaxed when we do start!
