All the best and congrats on your +ve HPT.

Me 41 (groan), DH 50
TTC since Jan '08
Male factor (ASA), high FSH (15-30), poor responder; right ovary lazy (quadruple whammy!)
IVF#1, March/April '09 - 5 follicles, 3 eggs retrieved, 2 fert (ICSI), 2 good embies. BFN
IVF#2, Aug '09 (after two cancellations for high FSH) - 8 follicles, 4 eggs, 3 fert, 3 good embies. BFN, but 1 frostie in the bank.
IVF#3, Dec '09 (after more cancellations for high E2 & high FSH) cancelled CD7: 2 tiny follies, low E2, FSH through the roof, thin lining & a cyst - you name it, it went wrong
IVF#4, Feb/March '10 - FSH down to 15; 8 follies; 6 eggs, ALL fertilised; 2 embies 8+ cell transferred; 4 frozen - BFN (the perfect cycle, but for that small detail)
FET #1 April/May '10 (natural/unmedicated) cancelled due to no LH surge;
FET #1, take 2 - May (medicated) cancelled due to premature ovulation (so much for not taking any chances this time)
FET #1, take 3 (this is getting ridiculous) - May/June - medicated with supression, only one embie out of five survived the thaw. BFN.
IVF#5?, Aug '10 FSH 22 (starting FSH of 22) - only 1 follicle; cancelled after 10 days.
On an 18-month waiting list for DE and looking into second opinions.

The fact that your hpts are still coming up positive is promising and worth focusing on at least until you have more info.
Fingers crossed you're able to get some reassurance!

Celebrating 26 years together!


1 ectopic
1 late miscarriage
Multiple chemical pregnancies
Many child 'free' years
Success on 2nd IVF (Halleujah!)

Our Journey to Parenthood
TTC Since September 2007 - Diagnosis "Unexplained Infertility"
Me 28 - DH 30
Sept 2007-2008 - Trying au natural - When it was fun ;)
Sept 2008 Refered to 1st clinic, what a waste of time
Dec 2008 - Told by old clinic both my tubes were blocked, going for a lap...
Feb 2009 - Lap. done, both tubes clear and open, were never blocked
March 2009 - Clinic gave us the wrong patients results - switched clinics
April 2009 - Started at ISIS
May 2009 - 1st B2B IUI - DH counts amazing, 72 and 42 million 90% mobility - BFN!!! devastated beyond words
June 2009 - IUI #2 - 3 Good follicles - June 16th (113 million sperm, 99% motility WOOHOO) and 17th!! Beta Day July 1st - 14DPIUI...AF arrived...wondering how much more we can take :(
July 2009 - IUI #3 - Changed to timed BD...CD10 (July 10th) Only one good follicle, 2.2 I think, chose timed BD instead of IUI#3, due to only one follicle - we are going to try "au natural " this cycle - BFN again...
August 2009 - Taking time off and enjoying each other, 1st adoption meeting Sept 16th, and I also have a free round of Gonal-F waiting for us at the clinic when we decide to go back - Became a Moderator here at IVF.CA!! Thrilled to be about to give back to a wonderful site and great group
September 2009 - Explored the adoption process with Halton CAS Sept. 16 then decided to take time off from TTC and save for more fertility treatments in the future...
October 2009 - Decided to submit our application for adoption (Oct 27th) and started acupuncture, will not give up we will have a family one day
November 2009 - Finally met Karolyn, she stayed with DH and I for 3 days, she is like a sister to me, and had a few wonderful meet up's with other amazing women from the site...words can not describe what an amazing weekend that was
December 2009 - Re-doing a bunch of tests - hopefully a few IUI's in the new year with a different protocol - Maybe PRIDE training in March
January 2010 - Results from SONO and HSG, all looks great, Right tube questionable, not a huge concern as per Dr. Saving for IVF as that is our next option...might be a few years, hopefully not. Hopefully our miracle will come before -Wondering why is this so hard??
Jan 2010 Cont'd - Accepted to PRIDE training starting in March, SAFE home study to follow...We can finally dream again...
March 2010 - Started PRIDE March 22nd - 9 classes, 3 hrs every Monday night - Enjoying the class, looking forward to the future, getting all our documents ready for our SAFE homestudy package
May 1st 2010 - BFP on a HPT!!! Holy crap how did that happen...May 2nd Beta 182...May 4th Beta 300...1st U/S May 14th - 1st U/S shows healthy miracle bean - H/B and all - 127 beats per minute, what a wonderful moment between DH and I

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will...

Me (Nona): 34 DH (Greg):33 DH has a 10 year old daughter who lives with us, and a 12 year old son who lives with his grandma. I love my stepkids so much!
TTC first baby since 2001 (with ex-dh)and he never wanted to do anything more than Clomid); regardless I had two lap surgeries, 4 hsg's and a buttload of the standard IF testing over the years. Diagnosis was damaged tubes resulting from PID when I was 17.
TTC with current dh since September 2008. We started seeing my same infertility specialist and did 3 cycles of Clomid (all BFN), started talking to our doctor about IVF and unexpectedly got pregnant in May/09 "naturally"! Found out at 7 weeks pregnant that it was ectopic. :(
Right tube healed shut, left tube scarred. Trying "naturally" ever since.
Very first IVF coming in October 2010. Hoping, wishing, praying for my little miracle.

Posted 09 February 2010 - 10:10 PM

Me: 34 DH:33
Dx: Unexplained
Started ttc September 2006
November 2007 - Initial consult at LifeQuest
January 2008 - Diagnostic testing.
February 2008 - Test results - No problems with DH. Dr. suspected I had a PCOS variant and that I probably wasn't ovulating. Suggested superovulation (injectibles) with or without IUI
Decided to forgo treatment for the time being and focus on improving my health.
March 2008 - October 2009 - LOTS of alternative therapy. You name it, I tried it!
February 2009 - confirmed via cycle monitoring I was now ovulating and my ovaries both look fine. Officially unexplained IF. Hmmm, now what?
Next Steps: Had initial consult with Dr. Virro at Markham Fertility Centre on October 1, 2009. Hysteroscopy/laproscopy performed on February 5, 2010. Post op appointment on March 8, 2010. Found out one small spot of endo removed from uterus and a very tiny septum resected.
Started BCP on March 31, 2010.
First IVF (first anything!) cycle after.
Last BCP April 20th.
Started stims: April 25 (Puregon - varied from 100iu to 42.5iu, Menopur - 75iu, and orgalutron)
ER date - May 5th.
14 retrieved, 11 mature, 7 fertilized - 4 via IVF, 3 via ICSI
3 days past retrieval - 5 8-cell embryos (3 via IVF, 2 via ICSI), 2 lagging 6-cell embryos (1 via IVF, 1 via ICSI)
ET on May 10, 5day past retrieval - tranferred 1 "superb, could sell it on e-bay" embaby - grade 5AB0! 4 more "lovely" totsicles (2 5day, 2 6day). The ivf embies did better than the icsi embies.
Beta - May 21s: BFP! Beta was 507! Still early days, but we're happy to be pg!
Viability scan - June 11. Baby right on track, heartrate of 140bpm, measuring 7weeks 1day at just over 1cm long. HOWEVER, big cyst in my right ovary. Going back for another u/s in two weeks to monitor the cyst.
U/S to monitor cyst - June 24 - cyst shrank slightly. Baby still measuring on track, 9weeks 1day and just over 2cm long, heartrate of 167bpm
12week u/s - July 12 - cyst had shrank to 2cm. Baby looked like a baby! Moving around and flailing arms and legs. Just over 5.5cm long, heartrate of 160bpm. Nuchal scan and nasal bone both looked good. Doctor's appointment went well.
20 week ultrasound and doctors appointment - September 13

October 2009 - Decided to submit our application for adoption (Oct 27th) and started acupuncture, will not give up we will have a family one day
November 2009 - Finally met Karolyn, she stayed with DH and I for 3 days, she is like a sister to me, and had a few wonderful meet up's with other amazing women from the site...words can not describe what an amazing weekend that was
December 2009 - Re-doing a bunch of tests - hopefully a few IUI's in the new year with a different protocol - Maybe PRIDE training in March
January 2010 - Results from SONO and HSG, all looks great, Right tube questionable, not a huge concern as per Dr. Saving for IVF as that is our next option...might be a few years, hopefully not. Hopefully our miracle will come before -Wondering why is this so hard??
Jan 2010 Cont'd - Accepted to PRIDE training starting in March, SAFE home study to follow...We can finally dream again...
March 2010 - Started PRIDE March 22nd - 9 classes, 3 hrs every Monday night - Enjoying the class, looking forward to the future, getting all our documents ready for our SAFE homestudy package
May 1st 2010 - BFP on a HPT!!! Holy crap how did that happen...May 2nd Beta 182...May 4th Beta 300...1st U/S May 14th - 1st U/S shows healthy miracle bean - H/B and all - 127 beats per minute, what a wonderful moment between DH and I

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will...

Me (Nona): 34 DH (Greg):33 DH has a 10 year old daughter who lives with us, and a 12 year old son who lives with his grandma. I love my stepkids so much!
TTC first baby since 2001 (with ex-dh)and he never wanted to do anything more than Clomid); regardless I had two lap surgeries, 4 hsg's and a buttload of the standard IF testing over the years. Diagnosis was damaged tubes resulting from PID when I was 17.
TTC with current dh since September 2008. We started seeing my same infertility specialist and did 3 cycles of Clomid (all BFN), started talking to our doctor about IVF and unexpectedly got pregnant in May/09 "naturally"! Found out at 7 weeks pregnant that it was ectopic. :(
Right tube healed shut, left tube scarred. Trying "naturally" ever since.
Very first IVF coming in October 2010. Hoping, wishing, praying for my little miracle.
