If AF Shows we are doing IVF

July 23, 2008

Well just had my appointment with the RE and we are going to move on for IVF+ ICSI

We have decided if AF shows Saturday, then we will start.

On CD 21 I will start the Lupron

I am not doing B/C so then I will do the Lupron for 2 weeks.. go back and get monitored.. then the next phase I think is the shote to get my old eggies nice and ripe.. again will go back and looking at retrieval and transfer around labor day.

I also decided that becuase we are doing ICIS- we will freeze any embryos that we do not use this round for the future.

At the most we will put 2 back in. This is so exciting!!

I wish you the very best of luck with this Caryn :) Very good news and yes, exciting times for sure!

YAY! Congrats and good luck! You will be called mommy again soon I am sure!

Thanks Sar, I hope I this means I will be preggo soon.

We decided to freeze the embryos because right now we only have one frozen sample from DH and it it is unlikely he will produce a fresh one ,he has taken a turn and now seems to be getting sicker. The plan is for him to do another one Friday.. that will depend on his health so the RE wants to maximize out chances if this IVF cycle does not work, we may not have sperm for the future if DH continues to be sick

Good Luck Sweetie!!!! Hope all goes well!!!!!!!

Hi Caryn,

I just got AF and had two failed IUIs so it looks like we are moving to IVF too. I'm both excited and nervous at the same time. I will go in probably tomorrow for day2 U/S and start BC, I think you said you weren't doing the bc. Sounds like we will be around the same time with this so lets try to keep in touch. Lots of luck!!! Hopefully this will work for us both :O) ***BABY DUST***

ps. I hope DH is feeling better!!!

July 25, 2008

Hey Jenstar- If I do get AF it would be here Sunday... and then I start my IVF cycle

* No birth control

CD 21 Start my Lupron (probably 2 weeks)

Then she said about a week for my Follitism and hopefully my retrieval and transfer will be around labor day.

We are doing ICSI becuase my DH is sick and also has low counts... so it will maximize my chances.. we will to that will all the mature eggies, she is hoping for around 20.. and we will put 2 back in and freeze the other embryos for future use if need be...so thats the plan..

Sounds like you will be a few days earlier than me :)

Sunny yup- I just was like Ok I am sick of waiting and since I have 100% coverage, why not! Marc gave his first frozen sample Tuesday, the best one yet.. somewhere near 40 million sperm.. after ther wash they were able to freeze almost 10 million! and since we are opting for ICSI, we have plenty to choose from! He is doing another frozen sample today... How are you doing??

July 25, 2008

Hi Caryn!

I'm praying you get your BFP this Saturday! If not I think you have a very good plan! I hope and pray your DH starts feeling better soon hun. He seems like such a great guy and a trooper! And since you have 100% coverage I would definitly go for it! Please keep us posted and I'll keep you and your hubby in my prayers! Sending you loads and loads of BFP dust :) xoxo
