I am sorry af showed. It is hard to keep going sometimes. In fact, I did give up in my 30's. It just broke my heart every cycle and I couldn't do it any more. Then, when I met my new dh, we decided to try any way. And magically, I got pg on the 1st try. Sadly, I lost him to a torn placenta. But, now I know it CAN happen. That is all that keeps me going now. I don't know if it will, just that it is possible. Don't give up!

Hi Lisa thanks so much for your note. I was thinking it might be a good idea to take a month break from IVF especially because I am moving a house in four weeks. I bought a new flat in January this year and I have been renovating it for the last three months. It has been very difficult to handle IVF and renovations at the same time. On top of that having no support system is getting to me. As for miscarriages - both happened many years ago. We had previously tried three month clomid and many artificial inseminations but all failed. Unfortunatelly my husband did not agree to do IVF so only since we separated I could give IVF a try - but it might be now too late.

Hi Lisa, no unfortunatelly bad luck - as it is to be on Friday the13th. After waking up I was told that my follicle did not contain an egg. RE said that it is not that uncommon and especially after stimulation it happens more often. I was very upset. I decided to take a month break and try and get more positive attitude. I am still going for my acupuncture every two weeks. How are you? Your Irish wedding is getting closer.

I really feel like ****. Went for retreival and woke up to find that follicule that they drained did not contain an egg - it was empty follicule! Can you believe it... RE said that it might be side effects from previous stimulation. I was so angry and sad at the same time. I think I am going to need to take a month break to recover emotionaly. This is just too much. As for acupuncture - I do regular sessions every two weeks and it is now about 7 months.I will see him on Wed - he also does moxibastion, laser and colour therapy in the same session. How is your acupuncture going?

Hey Lady ~ how are you ~ thinking of you since you'll be starting right before me ~ have been going to Acupuncture and enjoying it ~ she's been really working on my back and legs too which helps tremendously ~ it's weird how they can tell what's going on with you by holding onto your wrists before each session ~ she said I have liver/bladder problems that could be preventing me from getting pregnant so she's concentrating on that too ~ has been trying to get me to do cupping, but I'm not quite comfortable to be walking around with big circles on my back for a few++ days.....you..??..

Hi Lisa, I am glad to hear that you are looking foward to starting IVF. It sounds like you are a bit hormonal... but I imagine "the english thing" is also sometimes in the way. And I keep forgeting to tell that your daughter looks so cute and the photo of you two is lovely.
I am still very up -down. It is probably still side-effects of all hormons from previous cycle. I am scared if RE will get that one precious egg tomorrow. And even more scared of the days after retreival and if I will again have failed transfer. But I need to take one step at the time...

i went through ivf in 05 and unfortunately it didnt take,, but i know lots that succeed at it... just really prepare yourself.. its tough and very emotional.. i have had 4 m/c in the past two years since my tubal reversal in 06... for me the ivf failure was so much more devastating than the m/c////// i wish you the best of luck..
p.s. arent the suppositories just a blast.. i was on 2x per day post ovulation then 4x per day post +hpt... its all so troublesome to have it not work out.. but we will all do what we can to make additions to our family.........
good luck in june........

Hi Lisa, miracles happen so I will hope for one on Monday for you. Let me know what happens.
It seems from response that I am getting most ladies do not support idea of natural cycle and several suggested that I should do donor eggs and not waste my money and time. But I really don't feel ready for that option. The embryologist on the web that I sent a question did not seem at all positive about natural cycle IVF and using my own eggs. All that makes me even more appreciate my RE encouraging attitude and not repeating statistics.

Hi Lisa, how are you. You might be away already for the wedding in Ireland. If so I hope you are having a good time.
I am better. RE was very nice and encouraging. He wants to start immediatelly natural cycle IVF and see if we get one and good quality egg. I feel hopefull again.

Hey Lisa...
How are you doing? I was checking out congrats to Meli and saw a note from you about using progestrone. If I recall, I thought you said something about trying naturally b-4 IVF. At any rate, I saw where you said that you were using progestrone suppositories. Are you using while trying to conceive naturally? I'd appreciate any info you have about this. I am scheduled for my FET on June 24th, but have heard about using progestrone prior to ttc. I hope all is well with you.
Cheers~

Hi Lisa, my transfer was canceled today. The embryo that was developing slowly did not reach to blastocyst stage. I am seeing RE on Friday to see where from here. I am feeling very sad and negative today. I just posted a letter and I am hoping to hear if anyone else had this situation but managed to get transfer of blasto stage in the next cycle. That would help me to pick myslef up and continue. How is your progress? Are you starting with stimulation at the end of June?
May 27
Hi Lisa thanks for your note. I am crazy with worry. This morning they told me that in fact out of two eggs that fertilised one made it to blastocyst but is abnormal and not ok for transfer but the other one that is slow is now 8 cells on day 5 - so they decided to leave it in incubator for another 24 hours and see what happens. Again tomorrow morning I must phone at 9 am to see if that embryo reached blastocyst and if it will be ok for transfer. The saga continues...I am exausted from waiting. How are you doing?

When are you starting..??..I'm gonna be making the call to Cooper today ~ thanks for all the support ~
