Summer Board 2011

This will be a quick post because I'm on my iPhone and back at work...more personals tonight.

Fruit and Anton- I'm so sorry this cycle didn't work. Big hugs to you both. This process is awful.

AFM- Spoke to my RE last night. He said that a progesterone of 10.6 is lower than they like, but may not be an accurate measurement of what's at the uterus. I'm now on suppositories and shots. I was trying to avoid suppositories because last time I had a major cervical bleed. So now I get to put them in my rectum (TMI) oh well. Anything to keep this pregnancy. Thank you for all of your advice and support! I don't know what I would do without you ladies!

Anton-thinking of you today! Good luck my friend!

[Lauren]

Fruit-I missed you! Was wondering if all was ok. I am so sorry this wasn't your cycle:( my heart breaks for you and DH it really does! You are strong and you will survive this heartbreak. Remember we are here for you anytime. Take some time. Do something nice for urself and DH and keep me posted! I wish you nothing but the best:) xoxo

Anton - I am so sorry for the BFN. You are right as you are only human and have every right to feel angry, sad, and discouraged. But seeing how strong you are you will pull through this and forge forward. Take some time for yourself and recoup.
Hope you will feel better soon!!
Tina

Anton, I'm so sorry. I couldn't believe it when I read your post, my God what an amazingly strong woman you are to have been through so many IVFs and to have the tenacity and love to keep on this road. I know that anything I may say may sound patronising which is the very last thing I want to sound so I'll just say that I am holding both yourself and your DH in my thoughts and prayers and once again, I'm so so very sorry.

hi everyone,

sorry i've been MIA but the week end was so busy.

wishingandhoping - CONGRATS ON UR BFP !!! Twins is great!!

Longtimerivf - CONGRATS on ur Twins!! that's awesome.

Anton - wishing u a strong BFP today!!

sorry for no personal right now.

AFM: i POASed on sunday and monday and had BFN so i called RE office and moved my beta to today and i got an official BFN.....
Thank u all ladies for all ur support, for the listening, for the advices and for everything.... i can never go through this rollercoaster without You all. u give me strength to go on.
i wish u all luck and BFP and i'll be checking on u and maybe i'll be joining later on a fall board ...

Hi fruit - i am so sorry. i noticed you've only tried fresh ivf cycles - have you ever thought about freezing all your embies and transfering them later during the frozen transfer. there is more and more research that says that endometrium receptivity is compomised by stimulation medications http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21737072 and some people can only get pregnant on frozen transfers. ask your RE about it. good luck!

Hi Anton - i am so sorry! you've been through so much!

have you thought about maybe trying a clinic in US? CCRM in Colorado is supposed to be one of the best. Or the one that Margie went to in Hollywood. there is a couple of world known clinics in US with excellent success rates for "difficult cases" that would be good to give a try if you have time to fly here. they work with out of town patients all the time. Its just surprising to me that your embies make it to day 5 and look good and then dont stick. Not even a chemical in all 7 cycles... I think a change of doctors might be good. Maybe the new clinic will see something that your current doctor - as nice as he is - is not able to see. if you are going to do one more attempt i would recommend changing things up.

I am so sorry! you so deserve a different outcome!!!

Anton-honey, I am so sorry. I know there is nothing that anyone can say that will make any if this make any sense. We all love you and admire your strength. Don't loose hope. I agree with Lyd, maybe a change of RE is what is needed. I am keeping you and your DH in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Anton. My heart is breaking for you. This is just not fair. You have so much to offer a child and I hope and pray your day comes soon. You are so strong, but know that I am here for you. Sending you tons of love and hugs!!! I am so, so sorry.

[margi26]

Oh Anton. Dear Anton. I am in tears with you as well. You are one of the most loving and giving women I know....and I do feel that I know you through all your wonderful and colorful posts. You are such a delightful woman, are always there for others and you and DH do not deserve this additional disappointment. You have so much love to offer a child (or two!) and I pray that your time comes soon. I am sending you the biggest cyper (((HUG))) that I can muster. Please take care of yourself, hold that wonderful man of yours....and when you are ready, plan the next step in this journey. Please know that I will always be here for you. PM me anytime.

This being my 6th cycle, I'm scared! Why is this so hard? I wish we had the answers. It hurts so much! Please know that I'm here for you! Thinking of you & praying that you get your miracles soon because you both deserve it so much! Much love to you both!

Fruit -- I'm so sorry for your BFN. I know how much that sucks. I hope you will try again and find success. It really does only take one and each cycle is different.

Anton -- Oh my dear, I am so sorry! I was really pulling for you that this time would be your BFP. I'm happy to see that you will be cycling again in the fall. It just HAS to happen for you. And I'll be here cheering when it does. Much love my dear friend.

Dear friends,
My 2nd Beta today was 1,513. Next Beta is scheduled for this Friday, August 5th and the 1st Ultrasound is scheduled for the following Friday, August 12th. I honestly feel terrible even posting this after what has happened with our dear friends Fruit and Anton. Sending you both much love and peace in your hearts today and always.
