Wow! Lot's of new changes on forum. We're going to use donor eggs.

Hi All

Lots of changes to website!!

Well I guess I'm back.  I have no drama right now and I'm not pregnant.  Had to take shot of methotrexate in October and they monitored my HCG level down to zero.   So when I found out that I didn't have a viable pregnancy in late september I took a whole break from all of this.   No thinking about TTC, nice to have that pressure lifted off.  

DH doesn't want to do IVF in December.  I'm pretty bummed about that.  We both went to follow up appt to see RE and we didn't really like the stats for someone who's 41.  THe RE thought that we should do IVF again despite that because I responded well to the injectibles, but DH says no.  I guess he's a wuss about having to deal with another miscarriage of mine.  Heck I dealt with 5 why shouldn't he?  But I guess I'm tired of all the disappointment, so I reluctantly agree with him.  

We've found a donor unk to us before, but now known and we're going forward with that.  I am waiting to get my AF so they can waste more of time and do a "mock" cycle of some sort on me.  

We've found the donor on our own through a surrogacy website.  She's independent and out of state.  I looked at a few agencies and it's ridiculous what they want to charge for a "broker fee".  I don't think it's really fair.  Seems like they take advantage of our desperation.  

So that's what's going on with me.  I hope you all are muddling through as well as can be!

I'm new to this forum. Just signed up a week or so ago, so I haven't been following your story, but I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with the IVF when you and DH are ready to try!!!

We're glad to have you back but not under the circumstances.  I'm sorry about another MC for you.  But I'm glad to hear you aren't giving up.  And congrats on finding your own egg donor.  Tell DH to just hang in there  it's a rough and tough battle but it just makes us all stronger.

HOw are you doing?  Are you pregnant?  Says you're on your way for your beta.    You look so pretty in your wedding dress?  Did you just finish cycle of IVF??

by Brown Eyed Gurl, Nov 13, 2007 01:23PM
Well I  didn't get a BFP I'm only 10-11 DPO but I was so hoping for an early BFP for DH's birthday it's today......but I have had every preg. sign in the book but my beta was 0.2 can't get any more BFN than that....this was actually a natural cycle.  My second O on my own since my MC in Aug. so I was really hoping to get a BFP this time....maybe my mind had my body convinced I was preg. thus the symptoms....who knows.....but I'm trying not to give up hope...I know when I did get my BFP in Aug.  I had all the symptoms and got a BFP of 0.2 also and then a week later BFP......but I'm pretty sure I'm out.....I have an appt. with my RE in Dec. to talk of our next step if I'm not preg by then.......wow look at me I wrote a book sorry.....LOL  Thanks for the compliment.....Christmas Eve will be our 1 year aniversary.

Hi!(oi)

My results were negatives and I am thinking to go for donor eggs.
And I don't know how that works. Would help me explaining the process
Thanks
