Wow Li 7 months that great! Not looking foward to starting work again. I am not stepping foot in my building until Sept 2nd.
Julie- I have no reason to consider a donor for me at this time. I just turned 34, have a very low fsh and stim just fine. Dh does have some sperm issues but that is why we do ICSI. I have a lot of autoimmune problems and was having problems with m/c's prior to this sudden infertility. I don't think a donnor is the answer. My embies just don't want to stick. Possibly a gestational carrier but dh is not comfortable with that right now.
We have 4 frozen embies, so I am going to wait and see what my RE has to say on the 2nd of Sept.

Lisa,
Yeah, my due date is still set for the 16th of November (however I measured a week ahead at my last appt, so who knows how I will measure on Weds....big I'm sure) I go to do the glucose test on Weds. I am feeling crappy today, I took a hit from one of the horse yesterday and fell down. I braced with my arms, so I didn't belly flop on my tummy. However my arms are sore, elbows and knees are scraped up. I also have alot of pressure down low and feel sick to my stomach! I think Cara is sitting on something down there and it's uncomfortable.
lyly,
glad to hear you do have some frozen embies. I hope the doc has some answers for you on the 2nd.
Tanya,
good luck on friday, I will keep my fingers crossed for you! ;D

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your support Julie - hope everything turns out dandy for me as it has for you! Fingers crossed. The waiting is awful. I am pretty sure I have morning sickness but a bit hard to tell as I have had a nasty diarrhea bug so not sure if it is part of that or morning sickness - sure feels like morning sickness (I get it bad!).
Lyly - It is great you have some FE I know a lot of people who have had success with FET even after a fresh cycle failed.
Good Luck Tanya.

Jas JulesMom - where do I go on this website to edit my ticker?
Ronda - Your time is coming close.
Things good here. Kaitlyn has her pediatrician appointment at 11:30. My swelling seems to be going down.

Julie- When you log into the site, there are links at the top. If you go to parenting, a link comes up at the bottom for birthday tickers. Hope that helps!!

Thanks for all of your support girls! I am not really feeling any different at all. I am trying not to get too excited as then maybe it won't hurt so much if it's another BFN.
Lyly- I can't wait to hear what your RE says about a FET. Keep us posted. I hope that will be the answer for you. It is so much less stressful.
Marina-You are in my thoughts. When will you hear back from the testing?
JamieP- Good luck with your beta. Hopefully we both get great news soon.
Arabsrcool-I hope you get feeling better soon. I am terribly afraid of horses(long story)...be careful!
Jules- Where do I go to see the baby pics?

JasJulesMom - I must be clueless because I can't find it.
Tanya - if you give me your e-mail I can send them to you unless you have myspace you can see them that way.

Tanya-glad you got your transfer!So,which donor did you chose?Do they tell you anything about them?Do you know how they look?Parents,I mean.
Jules,how do you feel after all?Probably relieved that it's all over.Who does she looks like?Do you brestfeed her?How is Sam with her new sister?
We still didn't do that test,but finally have scheduled it for Wed.,so the lab comes to our house to pick up container with sperm and they ship it on dry ice in Chicago genetic lab.Wierd.It will take about 2- 3 weeks for the result.In a mean time we have an appt with my RE on Friday and a new RE on Sep.4th.We also talked to the other clinic-they will not enrol me in this Shared risk program bc I'm 38.My old clinic will -if my FSH and estradiol level on day 3 will be normal(they don't take last year results) and the new clinic will also.So,will see.I really don't want to go back to my old RE,he just don't care,it's all about money for him,he doesn't even try to hide it.So,if I can get in this program,we'll take a loan and at least if it doesn't work after 3 times,we'll get 75% of our money back.We just can't afford keep losing money like this and have nothing .
Lyly,if you go for FET,is it going to be natural again?

Marina- I think the shared risk program would be a great help for you. Why doesn't the other clinic offer it if you are 38? Do they consider your FSH and estradiol levels or not? I know that Dr. Jacobs highly recommends a donor egg to women 38 and up even with good numbers, so maybe that is why. They say FSH and estradiol don't tell you about quality which is a factor in age unfortunately. Although I am a few years younger I worry about that. With the way things are going (taking so long) I am worried that my age with start to play a role and add to the problems we are having now.
I am not sure what my next step is to be honest. I go see the RE on Sept 2nd. I honestly think I prefer to do a medicated FET if I do the FET again. Maybe I will have better luck.

Marina-
I hear ya on the not throwing money away part. We have a baby payment, 20k gone, broken hearts and no baby. I think this shared risk program sounds great! We were not eligible as my FSH was high. At least you know you will get a baby in the end...if not at least you will not have wasted a ton of money.
We found the donor through a miracles in waiting website. It was a couple in another state who had six remaining embryos following their first IVF cycle that produced twins. We did get to see pictures of the whole family. We will keep in contact with them as the child/children grow up and provide contact information so that they may all meet their siblings in the future if they so desire. Now, we just need this to work. My clinic says that there FET success rates over the last year are 40%.
