And we're off! The witch arrived today 2/17 instead of her due date of 2/22. Our meds are ordered for our ICSI/IVF cycle and will arrive Wednesday of next week. First bloods scheduled for 3/8 and Lupron to begin the next day. Ahhhh breathe. I'm really not looking forward to my butt hurting from the injections, in fact I'm dreading it, but it is what it is

Welcome. I'm truly sorry about your angel you hold in your heart rather than your hands. It does hurt, no matter how long ago. Many of us hold angels that way too. It does sound like you've run the gamut on testing... at least its out of the way now its finding the right combination of treatment to get you to where you want to be. Doesn't sound like much, but its a small silver lining. The initial testing can be half of the emotional battle with IF. Honestly your emotions sound on par with any family in this battle... so your perfectly normal in that and your reactions to any of this. My advice having struggled 15yrs ttc naturally, IUI, and 2 ICSI IVF's and another in the works is lean heavily on your DH. He is your buffer, sounding board, friend, lover and partner in this. And be his too. Don't fault eachother for reactions (good/bad/ugly) since its you vs IF. Not IF vs you guys
Good luck and I lurk/post so please feel free to ask me anything.

We got our most recent reports from RE
Thank goodness the RE talked us into SA freeze& thaw&bank 5 vials for our upcoming ICSI IVF cycle! He was very nervous given DH's # were so poor last time and he was concerned there would not be enough on this ER day. So we agreed and did it. Thank goodness because DH's # were worse now. SA 3.6mill, 1%morph, 48%motility. Jeepers those #'s stink, lol. But on the veeeery bright side our insurance automatically authorized us for 2 ICSI IVF cycles.
My E2 (day 3 bloods) are exactly what the were 7yrs ago. They will go with the same med/map as last IVF w/dd&angel twin. I hope its a really educated guess
and we don't need to tweak to much during the cycle. This is also exciting for me because I kept a really great diary of all our previous cycles and can gauge everything from last time! I would recommend it to anyone ever going through med cycles. I kept daily weight, blood levels, any/all med reactions, med changes, time&dose, next step after RN/RE call, u/s results, bw results, and wks since last period. It's been a long time since we last did this so I'm living by this "bad larry" right now.
So we are waiting for AF (eta 2/22) and we have a 21 day Lupron start. I'm sooooooooo excited!! Oh, and we have told NO ONE! So different from 7yrs ago. Everyone thinks we were 1 & done
baby dust and best wishes!View Thread

We used Village Pharmacy the first iui, and both previous ICSI IVF's. We will be using them this time as well. The mail/ship meds to you and have payment plans. Also, for self payee's they adjust rates to accommodate. Our insurance covers 100% of all procedures and meds- but this pharmacy has been fantastic!!

Hey ladies,
I posted a week or so ago regarding being a retiree of this board 7yrs ago and now being back to try again. We had our 1st RE appt last Thursday and as luck would have it I was on day 3 of AF! So we got those bloods out of the way. They are using those levels to bounce off of my last day 3 E2's from dd cycle 7yrs ago and come up with a med/map plan. This Thurs., we have to return for my hysteroscopy to ensure my uterine resection held all this time and esp after an emergency c-section. At the same time DH is going to be banking a SA since his #'s are so atrocious. His count for dd ICSI IVF cycle was 16million, 14% motility, 1% morphology. They stated they were worried he would not have enough viable for this cycle so they wanted 5 frozen vials and 1 frozen/test thawed before ER.
From there our insurance will be submitted and AF will be due again Feb 22nd... like clock work the evil witch. 21 days after that we will begin Lupron baseline 3/24, stims, ER 4/4 & ET 4/7. IF... and its a big if, if it all went as planned and took our due date will be Christmas day
I realize having battled infertility for 15+yrs that's a big if.
