I just got the call this morning and all 3 of my embies are at the morula stage!!!
I can't believe it and I'm simply feeling so thankful right now. 3 out of 5 is more than I could have ever imagined!
I hope I follow JDC and Stefanie's tracks and make the low responder a huge powerhouse!!
I can't wait to have my little M&Ms back in their future home!
To all our low responders sisters...keep that PMA. Actually, we all have to keep that PMA!!
I'll post some more tonight after AP!
Love and hugs!

baby_crazy - I'm so sorry. DH and I may be joining you at the end of the journey next year if we don't have any luck. We still have insurance coverage for up to 6 tries but it has been to emotionally taxing. Do something nice for yourselves!

baby_crazy (((((HUGGGSS)))), I am so sorry that this cycle didn't work out for you. It is just so frustrating to get the BFN and we have no control over weather we get it or not. Kind like just the luck of the draw. I hate to see that your journey is over but I completely understand. After going thru infertility for so many years it gets really hard to keep dredging forward. Eventually you have to some to a point that you just say that is it and move on with your life. I hope the best for you in whatever you decide to do.

So I found out some really good news today that takes the stress off of this cycle. Of course I am praying that this cycle works. I looked on what my insurance has paid for my ER and ET and it was only $1500. I have a lifetime family planning max of $5000. For some reason the only thing that gets charged to the family planning max is ER and ET. All my b/w and u/s get charged to a different category. So with this said I could do 1 or 2 more cycles and still not pay out of pocket. I am so ecstatic about that because I was worried that this cycle would take up all my life time max and any remaining cycles would be all out of pocket. I so feel for all you ladies that have to pay for your cycles out of pocket. It is just unfair that infertility treatments are not covered in all insurance plans and in all states.
My cousin is experiencing infertility. She only live 15 min away from me but lives on the other side of the River (St. louis). Missouri doesn't have any mandate on IVF coverage and Illinois does, so I get some coverage and she get absolutely zero. I feel so bad for her because her and her husband have been wanted a child for so long. The only thing her insurance will cover is testing. IUI's aren't even covered and they just can't afford to go into debt to cover any IUI's or IVF. It is just so sad.
So OK I will get off of my soap box. Just wanted to say to you ladies that are all out of pocket that you all are remarkable people.

baby_crazy So very sorry about your results . It must be heartbreaking for you two. It's easy to get sucked in into years and years of trying one more time and one more thing and just living your life in constant stress and crushed hopes continuously. It's a hard decision to make not to try anymore, but you may redefine yourselves in the process.
DH and I talked about this (as I'm sure everybody had) and about what point would be our breaking point. We don't want to dedicate 10 years of our lives to trying to have a child. We've tried naturally and IUI's and now it's our first IVF. We've decided that we won't do more than 2, maybe 3. We know that we love each other very much and are each other's best friends. And we know that if it's not meant to be for us, we will still have a very full and rich life together. There will be plenty of excitement and adventures for us to share. Family does not mean having a child necessarily, imho. What it does mean is having a loved one(s) by your side to share your life journey. Hold on to that! Love and support for each other will get you through. There are still and always will be people in this world that truly love you and care for you as well as the ones that need you and your loving care. And that's nothing to spit at!
Hang in there!

Baby _ Crazy
The last post was right. We have all had this discussion. If this doesn't work out for me we are on to donor egg. We pay out of pocket and simply don't have the funds for any more treatments. That kills me.
My best fertility buddy here in NYC has just realized she is going to have to move on to donor egg and is not sure she can do it. It's a hard thing. And my heart is with you and she.
like I said earlier. None of this is a reflection of you or your value here on earth or the fabulous life you and DH are going to continue to manifest.
Hello Ladies... Sounds like a lot has been going on since the last time i got a chance to post. I would liekt o say congratulations to those who have had wonderful fertilization results. Those who are continuing to stim, I wish you lots of wonderful eggs. Ladies in the 2WW stay STRONG and continue to keep that PMA.
As for me, I had an ultrasound today to check to see if any fluid has returned from OHSS. The fluid has returned, but not enough to be drained so the RE seems to have little concern. Got another sneak peak at the babies today. No heartbeats yet, but the sac and yolk for both were there. I have my official ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday, September 3rd. I will be 6wk4d, hopefully we will be bleesed with heartbeats then. Well, enough about me... I send baby dust to all.....

baby crazy, I am so sorry that your journey is ending. May you be held in gods hands for whatever you decide is next for you. You will remain in my prayers.
Val, I am so excited for you. When is the ET? Are you outting back all 3?
I cannot wait until my day 3 report tomorrow to see how my 2 lil embies are doing and if they will make it to PGD.
Well much baby dust to all, need to go start dinner now and put my feet up for the rest of the evening.
Oh, BTW, I keep reading about the PIO shots how bad they are. I have had 2 so far, in the Butt of course and to be honest other then them takiing forever to get out of the syringe, there is no pain, stinging or anythihg, I hope my vial is potent. Maybe I just got lucky and I am not having any reaction to it.
Much much sticky baby dust

)and our house in Mobile is on a hill that is in an area 100 feet above sea level 
Still, our plane leaves Biloxi on Thursday for our trip and I hope it still will 
So let's pray that it will not be a bad hurricane!!
