sunbeam: sorry to hear you got bfn hopefully that changes in the next few days
saffy: good to hear your fs is supportive & you are happy with him
joeve: i asked my fs that exact question, she was of the opinion ivf wouldn't make any difference to our chances of a take home baby because getting pregnant wasn't our problem, it is holding onto them that is & she didn't think ivf would change that, even after i mentioned putting the "best" embies in. there are a few girls on here that have had multiple losses & some have done ivf but finally got that sticky pregnancy (naturally). i wish i knew what the secret was but my thoughts are for some reason some eggs are better than others and you just need to get that right one
I agree Minnie, I don't think IVF neccessarily helps with preventing losses cos they grow embies to 5days, the ones that 'drop off' before that would never have implanted in a natural pregnancy anyway, so I would say IVF would have the same chance as natural pregnancy of a m/c.
I guess the question is , is how long it takes you to get pregnant, cos ivf can obviously speed up that process ( supposedly, anyway, once you get all the police checks etc). It seems that 3 pregnancies in 14 months is not bad at all, time wise, have you tried clomid before? Don't be scared of ivf, its not that hard or bad, just expensive.
p.s. joeve clear your inbox!

Joeve - I'm with the other girls if you are getting pg then IVF is not really likely to help. Have they even been monitoring you after you get pg, do you get progesterone support? IUI might be useful as it times everything perfectly and is lots less expensive. Personally I hated IVF and will never do it again but i'd do IUI in a heartbeat. So my advise would be think about IUI and use the money you save not doing IVF to put towards stuff to help bub stick like acupuncture, herbs or a nice relaxing holiday.
Hi ladies saffy glad your feeling more positive its nice to see that and glad your new fs is a good one
sunbeam sorry for the BFN hope it changes tomorrow to a BFP !
everyone else thinking of you and praying you get your wish soon
afm well the results are in for my hormone tests last week my progesterone was 29 on day 14 so indicated I have ovulated this month all my other hormone and LH tests were good so basically they are saying I am still fertile wow that was a suprise! DH did his sperm test and it was 26 million so again very good motility and morphology good too and we were told as it was nearly 4 hrs old by the time it was tested it really was an impressive result should of been higher really if it was tested withing the hour .
So my new GP is a fantastic lady and went to a fertility semminar last week with me in mind so she could get some more info on helping us as she knew our plans to go to Thailand. Anyhow she has asked if I would wait 6 to 8 months before going to Thailand as she is hopeful we can acheive a BFP by ourselves its just going to be a bit more technnical I have to have blood tests every 3rd day from when AF arrives and she will tell me when to DTD and also help with counciling, What can I say but Yes of course I can try for another 6 months or so just to see if we can do it by ourselves.
so plans for Thailand are on hold until July next year but now I know they will see me as I will be 47 by then and well in the age bracket. So that is my news atm
hopefully that changes in the next few days
