Forum: In-Between Treatment

Hello ladies, I am trying to remain positive after the loss of my very wanted baby girl Dia.. Since I have to wait at least 2 months for cycling again.. I am trying to do things I cannot do if I do get pregnant.. Also during my last pregnancy.. I had a massive SCH at 11 weeks and so was on...

Can you please tell me a little about your self? How long have you been ttc? Are you just in between cycles or are you putting tx on hold for a while? How long have you been a member of Fertilethoughts? Is there anything I can do to make this board better? A little about me. My dh and I have...

Hi Ladies Completed my fourth failed DE cycle end October and am struggling to lose the 4 kilos I put on during treatment. Am back to my usual routine of training 4 times a week and have even cut my calorie intake to no more than 1600 calories per day -- much less than I normally eat -- but the...

Hi everyone! We are waiting for our first ivf cycle in January and I can't believe that it is so close!!! Anyhow, I had some bloodwork done and my fsh was elevated at 10.6 D3 and 7.3 D10 and prolactin was elevated at 34. Does anyone know what that may mean for the cycle? I wasn't fasting before...

I will be having surgery either at the end of the year or in the spring for fertility issues; a lap and a hysteroscopy. Right now, I am focusing on work....travel writer. (Disney specialization) I have three Disney trips scheduled and am spending time with hubby. :smileyh: We just celebrated 5...

Hi all...I hope I am posting this in the right place, but if not not maybe someone can help me out with where it should go.... My DH and I just recently found out that our insurance has approved us for IVF cycle #2! The last time we met with my RE she told us we would be on the Patch Protocol...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on fresh vs frozen IVF cycle. A little background: After 1 1/2 yrs of infertility, we did a round of IVF which worked and we were blessed with our son 6 months ago. We have 3 frozen embryos ( 1 grade AA, 1 grade BA, and 1 grade BB). It was all...

I just began follistim injectables and had an ultrasound after a series of shots. I had a 35mm follicle/cyst! My doc told me to do the hcg trigger shot early, in hopes of releasing that follicle. It's been 48 hours since my hcg trigger shot and I still don't have any ovulation pains (I ALWAYS get...

Has anyone's RE told you to try naturally while you're waiting for a new IVF cycle because you're more fertile during that time? Just had a failed IVF #1, and DH and I trying to decide if we should try naturally this month (also just to take a break from the hormones), or stick w/ the process and...

Hi all, Just looking for a little advice/support... or something. I guess I'm not quite sure at this point. We're still trying to get our heads on straight. We just finished our latest IVF cycle which was negative. Up to this point we've had 3 failed IVF cycles, 2 IUI cycles, and probably 4-5...

Hi guys. My first post in this folder! A little history..have been TTC for a couple of years now, been a year since we actively started our treatment with a fertility doctor, did 4 rounds of Clomid, two with timed intercourse and two with IUIs, and then 4 rounds of Puregon with IUIs, none...

I just finished up my first IUI w/injectables cycle. AF before end of 2ww. Was excited to go right into another round, armed with a new game plan after analysis of first cycle, but when I went in for my initial u/s and b/w I had a large cyst on my rt. ovary. Apparently this is common, but I can...

My last RE made a comment about starting back the next month, but I've seen comments on here about waiting 3 months. Has anyone else been told by the doctor that its okay to begin TTC before 3 months are up?? I had the methotrexate shot July 2nd. I plan to go to a different doctor for the next...

My DH and I are waiting on IF treatment right now because we decided that it would be best while we are building our first home together. We tried 4 IUI cycles last year with no luck and decided that we would use what little is left of my IF insurance on IVF after we close. Here is my thing...

I am 42 and just had a failed IVF cycle. I have learned that my protocol was conservative for my age. I am looking for other protocols that address issues for poor responders and advanced maternal age issues: Please provide answers to the following questions (and include multiple cycles if you...

Hi Everyone, My husband and I are taking a break from treatments until February 2011, when my new insurance kicks in. I was just wondering if anyone else out there has PCOS and is trying without any help right now. I know my chances are really low, but I am trying to ride this out without being...

I'd like to start off by saying that I know that the ultimate decision is mine and my dh's, but the whole point I join these boards is for the support - and that's what I'm looking for. Let me give a very brief history - won't make it too boring. I'm 39 and I possibly have PCOS (don't have...

Well I am now 16 days past my D&C after learning my baby died and stopped growing around 7 weeks. I'm waiting to start my FET cycle but it seems like it's too far away. I have to go in for bloodwork Friday to make sure HCG is going down as it should. My 1 week check was down to 890 so I'm hoping...

Speaking of insensitive. Just so you know a little about the situation that has me pretty pissed right now. My brother called me a little more than a year into my struggle with infertility (he didn't know anything about it at that point) to try to recieve consolation. He told me that he'd gotten...

Hello, I recently had 2 failed IUI cycles with injections. Due to our financial situation we need to wait until March '11 to try again. My husband has a benefit through work that we can pay for IF. We used it up for the year and it will be renewed in March. I am so heartbroken that this past cycle...

I need some advice. When I saw OB last he asked me how things were going with RE. I told him the whole sob story about DH hating RE and not wanting to do treatments. OB responded by saying maybe I should go on BCP for a while. He said my chances of concieving naturally are poor and BCP will allow...

Hello. My name is Krysta, and I just found this site :). My DH and I have been TTC for 2 years now, with way too many bumps in the road. I'm currently on hold because of abnormal cells on my cervix. I go in for freeze therapy (to freeze the abnormal cells off), on this Monday. I know the wait...
