Everything with my IVF starts with this... AAARRGGGHH. Is it an actual word?! After being told that I will do the IVF in August, then being told that they will do the shutdown in August, then being told that it will be fine because the transfer w...

Another delay

2008-07-08T18:26:48Z

So now we are told it will cost us $6,490 plus meds to do another round of IVF. Last time we paid $5,000 plus meds. The IVF cost is $4,990 - so it's pretty much the same but the doctor has decided to do the assisted hatching this time. That's addi...

Here we go again…

2008-05-28T20:57:58Z

I was supposed to have a laparoscopy to treat my stage IV endometriosis. The doctor said it was my judgment call to have it done. I had one last March (2007) and he doesn't like multiple surgeries if not neccesary. The symptom was pretty severe d...

No period after IVF?

2008-04-20T16:51:13Z

I had a failed IVF, and had a period the day before the blood test. I guess it wasn't really necessary to do the test.. I'm waiting for my period. I'm a week late. It'd be nice if that's a sign that I'm pregnant but I know I'm not. I read that yo...

Everything is grey...

There were a few things I wanted to clarify at today's appointment. 1. Will I be eligible for the grant program? 2. Will I need another surgery for endometriosis? 3. What would be our success ratio considering the IVF we just had? Basically, non...

Unsuccessful IVF

2008-03-20T16:46:03Z

The doctor's office just called. The nurse sounded quite depressed. They must hate making this kind of phone calls. I'd dread it. Yes, the result was negative. But I knew it. Not because I had this "hunch". Because my period started yesterday. It ...

Tomorrow

2008-03-19T16:12:00Z

Tomorrow is long awaited 14 DPT (14 days post transfer/Day 33). I feel like singing "Tomorow" - tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow... Will I love tomorrow? Will it give me a great birthday present I wanted so long? I took the last HPT this...

No nothing?

2008-03-19T01:11:35Z

Is this a bad thing that there are no more sharp pains, buttache, breast tenderness, no suspicious discharge, and frequent urination. I never used to get up at night to pee. How many times I've done that the past month? I had a slight pain in the...

Another day of waiting...

2008-03-18T15:05:59Z

My husband is still away. He is supposed to return late tonight (He is visiting his father who has terminal cancer). Today was the last day getting the progesterone injection at the clinic. It's only a 5-minute subway ride from home, so it wasn't ...
