I have found a doctor in So Cal that specializes in autoimmune problems and frequent miscarraiges. I sent off for the paperwork and will make appt soon. He also uses a lab that will test for autoimmune problems. I hope that he can help us attain our dream. Take care all and baby dust to everyone.

Thank you ladies. I think we are all very brave and courageous for even trying this journey. My husband really helps me be strong and forward looking. He has had alot of loss in his life also and keeps on trucking. He has 3 babies and 1- 2yr old in heaven.
Silli-kitti. I hope you get your period soon so this will be over for you and you can get on to the next IUI. Take care girl.
Sylvia - How are you and what is going on with you. Forgive me if I have forgotten and you have already told us.

hi fortyfour keep up the courage as well its been a hard road for u and i was sad to read your post u been through so much good luck with the new doctor and keep smiling good things happen to good people baby dust soon for u
44, I tend to post all over the place so no apologies needed. My husband and I have to wait until January to do our first cycle of ICSI. I have been medically cleared and so had he, but he was taking supplements to help him put on size when he lifted weights. Our RE said he could not put us in the October cycle b/c creatine and the other supplement Winn took could effect sperm production. He told us that it may not have an adverse affect but that he would rather err on the side of caution, make Winn stop taking the supplements and wait then have to cancel a cycle b/c no viable sperm. He said since we were spending so much time and money that it was only fair to give us the best possible chance instead of just taking our money. Walter Reed only does 4 cycles a year, and yes I know they are closing, but it will take a few years. So that is why it was either October or January. Now I am in a holding pattern. Hope all continues to go well for you and you find the answers you need.

Sylvia - Thanks for the update for me. It looks like we are both with the military insurance. My hubby is retired though.
I am planning to do a FET in January or maybe a new donor cycle if the RE thinks fresh is better. We have 4 grade A and 8 varying grades of others. Hopefully we can be pg together.
I hope that time will fly and our dreams come true soon.

44 - you truly are an inspiration as mentioned before. I hope your new doc can figure out what is going on and help you make your dreams come true. So many people are pulling for you! Karen
39 years old. Divorced at 26, 2 teenage daughters from that marriage. 3 devastating miscarriages. B/G twins born 1/23/06 after IVF at 29 weeks, 4 days.
44 Good news on the new doctor. How are you doing physically as well as emotionally today? I hope, since it might be a clotting issue with you, that your embryos are ok and you can use them. That would certainly cut back on time, wouldn't it? Cost too, I'm guessing. How is the kitty after his journey in the great outdoors?
36 years old. Married for 17 years. 1 son, 7 years old, conceived w/ ICSI. 2nd IVF w/ ICSI in June=No Fertilization. August cycle cancelled for poor response. Considering options.
Meredith - We have at least 12 embies left and 4 went in to freezing Grade A. I really like my donor so if we need more I hope she would do it again.
The cat was very quiet for a day and slept, slept, slept. He was really a pest for 2 nights, snuggling and loving us and now he is back to his old self. The stories he could tell about wild coyotes, owls and huge black crows. I wonder how many lives he used up.
I was physically feeling fine until midmorning - I was on my usual morning walk and got cramps like a period and they hurt down my legs and my back hurt. I took 2 tylenol and have felt really tired and achy the rest of the day. No bleeding though. I suppose this is where that 44 year old uterus lets me know that I was pushing it too soon. I walked twice a day until the day of the d/c so my body was used to it I thought.
I really missed the babies this afternoon and I had a nice talk with them about the dreams we had for them and how great it would have been to have them around. If anyone had been window peeping I would be at the funny farm right now.
Take care all and baby dust to all and no m/c for anyone.

44 - I am so sorry to hear your news.. but your story and strength gives me such hope.
I feel badly whining about my first failed IUI.. it hurts so much.. I am not sure if I have the strength to go through what you have gone through.. but luckily like you I have my two dogs (and cat.. who also disappears occasionally!). And I love going on my daily walks with my two dogs to help clear my head.. if it weren't for them!
37 yrs. old, DH is 39 -- TTC for a year and a half.. One blocked tube. Completed two IUI's (both on 1050 iu's of Gonal-F). BFP Sept. 28. Annabel born on June 7th - 1 day after my official due date!!
44 - I've been off the boards for about a week, and am in such saddness, shock, and anger over your news. This just doesn't make any sense, and you have been through so much. I know that you will be reunited with your babies, and I know that they can hear and understand you when you talk to them.
You are an inspiration to so many women on these boards. We love you and our hearts are heavy. Please let us know what we can do for you. I am so thankful you have a great husband to cling to during this mess.
Thank you ladies. Today was my first day back to work. I only saw one patient, worked 3 hours but you would have thought it was 12 hours. I am going to try and get the energy to get an manicure and pedicure today. My nails look terrible!!!!!!
I feel really physically strong today, only a dull headache that has been creeping with me for 2 days. Im sure it the hormones adjusting. I work the weekend so that will be good because hubby flies all weekend and I would be wacko by Tuesday without his company.
I am calling my old doc to get a copy of my records to take to the new guy.
I was reading that they take 21 tubes of blood out of you to do the immune tests? Has anyone done that? Wow. I will have to eat my spinach beforehand.
Take care all and baby dust to everyone. No m/c's for anyone.
