Jena have o ever had lyproscopic surgery where they go in and look at your uterus. When i had t done tey ound some abnormalites and fixed them that was 4/18/07 and i got bfp on 6/10/07

Hey Jena,

I've never been pg, we've been married 18 yrs. TTC most of that time. Didn't actually start the process until this last year. My DH has some sort of sperm delivery issue and we need to collect surgically from him hence we moved straight into IVF. I really waited as long as I felt I could because I really wanted to do IUI with donor sperm, and had felt somewhat unsure of if I really wanted to go thru so much to have kids.

Anyway, since we've started it seems like my holding out has caused us additional issues. I'm now 42 and my RE seems more concerned about my age than the rest of it. Have had two cycles so far that haven't even gotten to the trigger shot. The first one, I developed a cyst from the bcp and they had to go in and aspirate it. The second one, my RE wanted to go straight to the antigon protocol due to my age and because she had had good luck with it recently. Well the antigon actually knocked my estrogen down and we had to stop basically the day I would have gotten the trigger.

This month the IVF center is retooling so it will be my next cycle when we start up again (right around xmas). My RE suggested we do Lupron with the possibility of a donor egg as well. We're not going to do donor egg. If this time doesn't work, we will move on to adoption.

Anyway, baby dust to all.

Hie jena
Me too never pregnant in 8 years of trying,
I got married in 1999 december it was nealy 2ooo

so we tryd anothere 3 to 4 years no result, then my mum insisted me to come to london for another internal chec up , the docter system in oslo is not very known but uk us and germany r known quite well, so i got my self checkked again there over a year but ths time i agreed to go for a day surgery as batanio mentiond before (lyproscopy) they did not found any thing but my day surgery turned in to a overnight surgery because it got a bit out of hand i was not feeling well then 3 days after i started bleeding did not know where the blood came from either the stiches or the belly button, I travell nealy everyday in amergency wards, but then i found out while stiching me they left a old blood clot under the stiches whitch brussed me and started to bleed through my belly butten the hospital did not understand what is happening but then one day i rang my speacalist and she told me its good that the clot should bleed out its not normal because it deos not happen with every one but it was bad luck, then they desided to try iui 3 faild and know am in oslo trying ivf after a year,

Wow.. thank you all for responding. Just reading I am noticing something all of us are "unexplained" I guess when they know what the problem is then they know what treatment to give. we are all like a guessing game.. are u all doing iui? clomid? trigger shot? or have u guys already moved to ivf?

Never been pregnant!
Me and my husband have been together for 7 years... We have been trying to get pregnant for ages. A few months back i went to the hospital to see a fertility specialist who recomended a laproscopy procedure to check for blockage in my fallopian tubes and remove a fibroid tumor. I had the procedure done and he told me i could never get pregnant naturally due to severe blockage and scaring. He told me to have my fallopian tubes removed in order to start IVF. He said that my left fallopian tube was the worst and he would remove that one and try to fix the right one which will give me a 5% chance at getting pregnant. Im extremely doubtfull and scared. I don't know what to do... I wonder about doing an HSG but i don't know if that will be any good. A little advice will be well appreciated.

Never been pregnant
I have been trying to get pregnant for about four years now, i am 35 years old. With 7 fail IVF each time good responds to the medicin and quality eggs but always negtive result i think i have problem with implantation. I have had to laproscopy procedure with result in removing one of my fallopian tube. docters can not understand why i,m not pregnant yet and so do i. if anyone have some advice it will be very much appreciated.

Thanks and good luck to you all


mo - Apr 22nd, 2008 3:43 PM

Greeneyes, you get HSG to check for blockage in tubes...if your tubes are being removed, no need to get HSG...they already know you have problem w. tubes.

Nareen, have you looked into assisted hatching? you shoudl ask your MD about that. Infact, they shoudl KNOW and recommend to you. If they don't move/switch practices


nareen - Apr 24th, 2008 12:51 PM

Hi Mo
thanks for your advise, I have not tryed assiated hatching but i have tryed one 5 day blastocyst. But i will look very much into it A.H.
thanks again and peace be with you

hello,,yes 36yr old never pregnant,never birth control pills.my first partner and i were together for 3yrs age 16 to 19.we tried the entire time and i got nothing.now me and my husband have beein trying for almost 5 yrs to no avail.he is now 50yrs.old but has two children from previous marriage ages 18 and 14.


bmm - Apr 26th, 2008 10:22 AM

Never been pregnant either. 34yo. 6 fresh IVfs, 1 fresh donor egg cycle. 2 DE FET. The docs think my egg quality is the issue (compacted morulas/early blast on day 5 transfer) and maybe the donor just had a bad cycle. All tests come back normal including lap & hsg. I guess am also diagnosed as "unexplained". I was planning on trying another IVF cycle but havent figured out the financing so I opted to do an IUI this month. My new RE put me on metformin because my b/w looked like a PCOS pateint a couple of times in the past; even though he doesnt think I have PCOS (normal period, no cycts, thin, etc) . Has anyone with "unexplained" had sucess with metformin? I was inseminated on Wednesday and now on the 2ww.
I wish you all lots & lots of babydust. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening. bmm


nareen - Apr 27th, 2008 2:39 PM

Hi bmm good luck i hope you get the baby you having been trying so hard for .keep you in my prayers and god bless

bmm - Apr 27th, 2008 9:50 PM

nareen,
thank you so much for your kind words and support; it meant a great deal. youve been through a lot. ill be keeping you in my thoughts & prayers also.
are you planning on doing another cycle?
i wish you much babydust.
thank you again,
bmm


nareen - Apr 28th, 2008 1:35 PM

hi BMM.
Thanke you and yes i,m planing to try again but don,t know when, thinking about doing immune testing for antibodies and also try a few month of massage and hope and pray i get pg when i try again.
lots of well luck and well wishes
Nareen


bmm - May 2nd, 2008 4:49 PM

Hi nareen,
The testing and massage sound like a great idea. I recently did the immune panel....I tested + for heterzygous 4g5g allele (a marker for blood clots) The docs say its not the reason for my 'egg quality'; But once pregnant would see a hematologist to see if I need to be put on blood thinners. In the meantime, I am trying to stay present & enjoy each day.
I wish you the very best. Enjoy the massages:)
Much Babydust, bmm


nareen - May 19th, 2008 8:25 AM

Hi Bmm
How you doing, hope everything is going great with you. Talk to my Doc. about immune testing and he say sometimes the test does show anything as if it,s not my decision but will talk to him again and if he refused think i will find another clinic, because it should be about what i want i,m the one going thruogh all the failed cycle. Anyway hope i god will bless us with one of his angel soon.
oh the massage is great
Lots of Luck and well wishes Nareen

Hi all,
I have been pregnant 1 known time (15 yrs ago, when I was 18), and a possible 2 other times. Been TTC with my husband for almost 8 yrs. He has 5 kids of his own (which makes it a little harder for me...all these kids and none are mine)

All ultrasounds, blood tests, and my HSG came back normal, except for low hormone levels. His sperm analysis came back great. Doctor recommended taking Femara and Ovidrel to get me ovulating, then it is on to normal sex for insemination :) He said in his opinion, we have about an 80% chance of it working the first time around. So, fingers crossed...but keeping hopes down so we dont end up crushed by that 20%.

After being prescribed all the drugs, and taking all my tests, insurance decided..ooops we dont wanna pay for that stuf after all (kinda BS since I called them for confirmation before I even had my first appt. and they said it was all covered) so we are doing the pills and shot on our own, with the aid of a fertility nurse (friend of a friend) to keep an eye on me.....within a month I should know if it worked (right?)


bmm - May 21st, 2008 4:14 PM

Hi Nareen -
Its nice to hear from you. My last clinic didnt want to do the immune testing either so I went to another RE. And after so many cycles we needed a change of scenery anyway. The new RE did find a genetic marker for blood clots. Youve been through so much; the immune testing is just more bloodwork & especially if insurance pays; why not.
Im doing well. I am in the 2ww of another iui. I try to not think about it too much. We just bought a home and I am in the process of switching jobs so I dont have time to obsess.
I glad youre enjoying the massages. I wish you lots of babydust.
Peace & Joy,
bmm


nareen - May 25th, 2008 7:47 AM

Hi bmm:
Nice to hear from you to, and congrats on your new home.Have not try again but planing to soon,have an apointment with my doc. on tuesday hoping to have a long talk with him and find out if he can give me a letter to do the test at the hospital, because where i live i have been trying to find a privat clinic to do it but without luck. If he cant, i will just have to tell my RE that i cant go through another cycle without konwing so he should,nt just say it does,nt work sometimes just let me do the test. Anyway good luck hope you get your angel this time and good luck with your new job.
Lots and lots of babydust.
God bless
Nareen


bmm - Jun 10th, 2008 8:58 PM

Hi Nareen,
How are you? Did you talk with the RE? I dont think I would do another IVF either without knowing. Does your insurance pay for it? If I remeber correctly, your fertility is unexplained too?
Well the last iui did not work so I decided to do another. I was inseminated on Sunday. I start my new job tomorrow and we are closing on the house this month. Things are going well. I now have a room for the baby or babies. I'm ready already!
Thank you for your support. Much babydust!
I wish you peace, health & joy, bmm


nareen - Jun 15th, 2008 6:37 AM

Hi bmm.
I am find thank you and how are you hope everything is still going great with you. I have not talk with RE yet and insurance does´nt pay and i am also unexplained so thats why it`s so hard.
Anyway i have an apointment on thursday so i am waiting to hear what they have to say this time are maybe you will hear about a crazy woman on the news who beats her doctor out of fustration hahahaaaaaaaaa. Anyway good luck with everything baby, house and job.
Thanks for your support also it`s nice to have someone to write to who understand.
Lots and lots of babydust
Nareen


bmm - Jul 1st, 2008 6:52 PM

Hi Nareen -
How are you? I'm doing good. I am doing yet another IUI. I was just inseminated today. After so many cycles, I'm not so crazy about every little thing; it's just become a chore. Although I did order a hypnofertility cd. I figure it was cheap and doesn't require much effort. I'll let you know how it goes. For now, I am focusing on the new job & house and enjoying the summer. I hope all is well with you. Sending you much babydust.
Peace, Joy & Health!

I would like to tell everyone about a really really helpful website I came across. I have been ttc for over 2.5 years and this website is the best one I have found. The information is detailed, and teaches you how to read your bodies fertility signs.

www.essentialconceptionguide.com

Hi Nareen,
Great to hear from you! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I know the 2ww is psychological torture but try to keep yourself busy. When did you have the transfer and how many embies transferred?
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Much Babydust.
