HI ladies:
Suzhan, congrats on those follies now lets get those perfect lil embies. Icsi is a great method, I am also having that done along with assisted hatching. My RE is not leaving any stone unturned with my protocol. I have been on Gonal for 4 days now. 750 units, I know it is allot but with the age factor it needs to be aggressive.
I swear I feel things going on inside me, almost as if I can feel them growing. One thing about me is when I was pregnant 18 yrs ago I had such a relaxing pregnancy no symptoms at all that I did not even know I was pregnant until I was almost 3 months since I never had a normal cycle. Then almost 3 weeks late. I went into the hospital, they gave me potocin I fell asleep 2 hrs later I woke up with his head crowing and I swear I think I pushed 2 times and gave natural birth to a 10lb 13 oz baby boy, {I had Gestational Diabetes whcih now I am completely insulin dependant} who is now 18yrs old, 6'4 and in college. he is my youngest.
I had my tubes tied after him because I learned I have a very rare genetic disorder, that my oldest son has and my daughter carries. This disorder causes heart attacks kidney failure and strokes and a short life.
4 yrs ago the FDA approved a synthetic form of his missing enzyme that is infused 2 times a month at the cost of 32K a month. Thank God for insurance with no cap.
I have since been remarried and we want to start a family together and without PGD this would never be happening since I could not take a chance of bringing another child into this world knowing he would have to have treatment for the rest of his life or suffer and die a young man or continue the family cycle if it was a girl carrier.
If you would like to read about Fabrys Disease please go to

Much baby dust
Elida
