Well KarmA....At least you have a supportive husband!! I know I have 5 kids already and should expect this to be this crazy idea to do this, but I still think my hubby should be way more supportive than he is being!! He stresses that this is only for me!! That if I said forget it, he would be happy!! He understands my desire but thinks I am going to snap out of this, even when we are scheduled...

Oh no Karma...I am so sorry!! When are you suppose to test????? I thought it takes time for the HCG to register. I know ladies test early but only a few get a BFP early. I think most don't get it until later but I am not sure the exact dpt they test. I hope you are still in it for the cycle!! Praying for you!!! Did you only transfer one???? Was there more than one to transfer???? I am roo...

Okay.....have been viewing IVF/PGD journeys and it seems that a lot of ladies haven't done a mock transfer or Sonohystogram!! I am so confused!! If it is only to see the position of the uterus and that changes from month to month, then what is the point. I have had 5 children....all dtd the old fashion way. I have never had any problems, although I have had 3 c-sections. Not sure if that ...

Karma...why didn't you do a Sono or mock transfer??? My dr really wants to do one because he feels he then has a better understanding of my cervix....etc. It is at least $600 or so for that and the mock transfer!! I thought it would be a good idea, but no one seems to do them on here!! So confused!!! I don't think my dr. at HRC will NOT do it! Anyway, did you do PGD also?????? I am praying ...

OMG......My next period I start "the process". My Jan. cycle I have to call on day one, so that I can schedule my sonohystogram and mock transfer for day 7-13 of my cycle!! Wow...can't believe Jan is already upon us!! I have been waiting for this day!!!! Now, if I could feel more secure and happy about it all....since I am trying to get a loan for a part of the cycle!! They want some ridiculo...

I am so so sorry!! I truely understand how you feel....not in respect to the IVF's because I have not done any yet, but how you long for that little girl. I could've written that!! I know you will come up with some other way to get to that little girl you have always wanted!!! It's not over till it's over. Maybe you should take a break from all this until you decide what you want to do. I...

Yes, this will be my first and ONLY cycle. I have only one shot at this! We too are financially scrapping these funds up. We live a great life and have everything, but even though my hubby makes good money, we only have his income. I stay at home, so in order for us not to get too into debt we decided that we are gonna scrap the funds together some how. I too feel guilty not only because I wa...

Hi there.....I am going to HRC in California. No I am not using Microsort....only PGD. Microsort is not available right now. There is a hold on it and no one seems to know if or when it will come available again. I am doing just IVF.PGD with a 2 probe only! It's a lot to think about and it took me a long time to get comfortable with what I am ultimately gonna do. There is always never ...

Wow...That's crazy!!! Are they gonna give you a break on your next cycle??? That would be nice if they did being as they have never had this happen!!! I have my hubby on fertility blend just because. W have never had any fertility problems and my youngest just turned a year, but I figure that's what they recommend for IVF and it can't hurt...it's just vitamins which help produce more sperm!!...

Not sure I would use MS even if available, now after what you just said. Dr Nelson was very strong about NOT using it. I would think there is a reason he feels so strongly against it. Maybe because the sort % and things like that. I know he told me that because I am 37 and my hubby 40 he even more so wouldn't use MS since it is so harsh on the sperm. I am scared though...not getting any fem...

Kind of just picking my GIRL ...
