*TTC and still waiitng for a miracle
About to have another set of CD21 and then Cd3 FSH, LH and E2 done.

I saw an Re back in April last year who said with my history I did not need IVF or IUI and to just keep trying. My OB is 100% positive he will see me have another baby but I don't know anymore. Seems like the end of the rainbow is getting further and further away.


A positive note for Lissie. I have a friend in Melbourne aged 38. her DH has to have sperm aspirated due to blocked vas so she has IVF. Her 1st attempt was 3 BFNs (3 transfers)and her 2nd attempt gave one egg so it was ICSI (right term?) to make sure and so one eg was put back. Her 7 wks scan last week showed twins with good heartbeats.

I am hoping to meet some new friends and share this tumultuous journey to an elusive BFP.

hugs
Judy
