Hi Girls,
Sara69 - how frustrating to get a good embryo only to have it affected. Will you be doing another cycle? fingers crossed for you if you do.
Baby Dreamtime - how have you found your experience at Sharkey's? I've heard so much about it - but never gone there. What's their process & costs? I go to a naturopath and I wonder if it's not similar.
Rae - Hope you are well.
Dusty - Thanks for your post. It's always reassuring to read something and think, "hey, that's how I felt too" - it normalises this crazy experience. I too, never thought I'd be doing IVF.
DH & I had happily resolved to a child-free life (after 18 years of no contraception and not one BFP - ever!). Then a surprise BFP, which ended in M/C shook our resolve and world up and here I am a year down the track contemplating donor. I am learning to never say never
Since my last post...My sister offered me her eggs. She's 37 this year - we're going to explore this option - I thought her age would prevent her being a donor but clinic didn't rule her out??? She already has children, youngest is 8 months - maybe that influences their decision. Anyway. I'm not sure yet how I feel about donor - but am processing the idea at the moment. Truth be known, I still have my fingers crossed for low FSH in Feb so that I can at least give it one go on my own.
AF is due Mid Feb.
This week, I point blank asked my FN if I'm wasting my time and should I just move on with donor option her response was along the lines of
"We only measure the FSH of women who have infertility, but who knows how many pregnant women had elevated FSH levels on Day 2/3". Fair point. I can pin some hope on that for a little while longer.
Regards to all.
