javajess - Are you holding up okay?

I just read your post.  I'm glad it's not causing m/c.   When you go the genetic counselor make sure they tell you in plain english....tell them that up front too...for some reason they think we're physician's too.   Good luck!!  

I assume everything is still the same?   I see no AF yet for you.  Are you late now??    Where is she when you want her??  The bit**!

I'm doing okay, keep reading about fragile X.  Just something else to make me crazy!!!  On April 9th we will speak with the genetic counsler, she will explain everything to us.
AF....unbelievable!!! Last period was February 26th!!!!! So I'm late!  I can't start this until she comes.  My nurse said that if she doesn't come by April 11th, they will give me something to make her come.  Nothing is ever easy! You don't want her....she comes....you want her...she doesn't come!
I am very excited to start this process, we learned a lot in class the other day about medications and the whole IVF process.  I was happy to learn that when they "retrieve my eggs" I will be asleep!  I was also really glad that DH was in class with me...too much info for me to grasp, good to have another set of ears.
I was a little upset about the Fragile X news..but now I'm back to feeling confident and looking forward to starting this next journey.  
How are U?  I read that your levels weren't doubling yet.  Did you tell DH?

Oh I'm so sorry, I just read your post :(
It's seems like we might be having the same problems (u and i)  They haven't told me yet, but I'm thinking that my m/c's are due to chromosonal problems too.  It just seems like from everything that I've read, it sounds like my situations.  
I'm looking forward to PGD because I think/hope they will only transfer good embries, the embries will have all their proper chromesones.  Hopefully they will be able to get a good one!!!!
As soon as AF comes they will take my baseline bloodwork and I will have my FSH.  They will also do a saline sonogram that day.
Again I am so sorry for your loss!!  
What state do you live in? I'm in NJ.  Do they offer PGD where you live? Do you think that you would look into trying that?
I will definalty keep you informed on everything that is going on with me.  It seems like we are in the same boat, and at times that boat feels like it's sinking right???  We just have to keep bailing out that water, and set sail again...okay girlfriend!!!
