Here's Our Story:
Hello Ladies,
This will be the first time I have ever posted my history/battle with infertility but I must admit that thru my first and second IVF cycles... I read so many posts which gave me so much hope. Which is one of the reasons I am willing to try again. Thanks to all of the women who had the courage to share their stories. It really helped me.
SO, HERE'S MY STORY.
In 2006 I was diagnosed with secondary infertility, at the time I was 34 yrs old with a high FSH of 16. I underwent my first failed IVF on or about 4/2006 the cycle was cancelled b/c DH sperm shattered the 3 matured eggs produced in this cycle.
The next four months….high FSH levels no IVF cycle.
Tried Acupuncture b4 my menses and to my surprise my level for the month of 9/2006 was at a cool 13 and I was given a go to start meds. This time it was a little different then the last b/c one fertilized only later to be a positive PG.
I wanted to take a break from all of this testing, needles and endless tears.
You wouldn’t believe what happened next, we got PG on our own…not trying or anything. Please we couldn’t remember the last time we had relations. Too funny but true. Only to have an ectopic PG 9 weeks later.
So here we are today, at a new fertility center CHR in NYC I feel very comfortable here I believe with the grace of god and the wonderful staff I am in good hands.
MY CURRENT IVF CYCLE 3/2009:
“All is possible thru your love and beliefs in God...He is really wonderful.”
I have started my 3rd round of IVF. I am on a Microdose Lupon Protocol. I believe God has made it possible for me to be in the capable hands of Dr. Barad and Dr. Gleicher. I will keep you guys informed.
MY TREATMENT:
I was recently tested again for my FSH level. My results revealed a level of 15 and I am 37 yrs old, my RE placed me on DHEA since 1/5/09. As of March 3/18 my FSH level is 8.4. I started Climara patches on 3/16 to 3/18; Lupon (10 units) on 3/18; Stims - Bravelle 3 vials 2x day, and Menopur 2 vials only at night. Today 3/23 was my first u/s and no follies were seen. Should I be worried? Prepare myself for a cancelled cycle. Please let me know if this happened to you and resulted in a BFP.
