What's Happening Now
Yes, my poor DH has done the collections many times. A few from home and several times in the horrible little room. We had two IUIs and he had to submit his collection on site for those as well. The ones at the office are very difficult for him and there have been times that he almost gave up. They are very stressful when they are done at the office. Hopefully, he will have good results.View Thread
Rooni-Thanks for providing all the IVF information. The financial part is a big factor to why we are not pursing IVF, but there are other reasons as well. One of the few things that prevents us, is if we were so lucky to have embryos to make it to thaw; our ages would prevent us from using them all. For me personally, I just can't do that. No judging others if that is their choice, but for me I just can't. Thanks so much for offering the meds. That is such a thoughtful thing to do and you have never "met" me. I so appreciate all your support. I will let you know, what I decide to do.View Thread
Yes I am currently on metformin but im not sure of the mg of it. See my body is weird ( or my mentality is lol ). Even when I feel sick or don't feel like eating (stomach is flip floppin) I still have to eat. I don't know what else to do....
thanks for responding hun!

Its been a minute! Lol. I've just been so busy with work and everything that this was pushed to the back burner. You and Ceb are freaking geniuses. Lol. I haven't forgotten my meds all week!!!!!!! lol thank you guys sooo much!!!!!!! hope to hear from you all soon!!View Thread
I have 8 embryos frozen. There are 7 frozen at day 1 after fertilization. There was also one frozen on day 6 which they were surprised ended up doing so well.
I called my nurse today to see how we need to proceed after we get the verification blood results tomorrow to verify the negative. And, she never called me back today. Kind of annoyed about that.View Thread
I sure hope that getting rid of these polyps will definitely help us in getting our family started. Reading what you typed me back really makes me feel like at least one of our stumbling blocks is eliminated...for now anyway.
Thanks again for your input and kind words. Fingers crossed!View Thread
I know removing the polyp definitely can't hinder anything. And everything that I've read about their removal has been very positive, however, I know that I have other issues going on with ovulation as well. I'm just trying not to let myself get too stuck on this being the fix.
My brother and his wife are due to have their baby at any time now. In anticipation of my nephew's arrival, I've been going through some major ups and downs awaiting to start up on my medicine again. I just really want something to happen and us to start a family. I had kind of an emotional freak out the other night and scared my husband, I think. Just basically broke down crying and screaming telling him how I felt like such a failure because I can't make something happen that is supposed to be so natural for women. I feel so defective right now. He was amazing and just wrapped his arms around me and told me that the medicine would work and we'd have our chance. I'm glad he was so supportive when I needed him to be.
I would LOVE to get pregnant with twins. I think that would be amazing! I'm so glad you had luck!View Thread
C: Dealing with the stress of BFN is different for everyone I think. Its never easy, I'd usually have my moments of anger and sadness and then try to focus on trying again as soon as my RE would say I could. Knowing that eventually I will get pregnant and focus on just keep trying seemed to help me.
Good luck to you.View Thread
I was thinking about you and praying for you. i am really sorry that it didnt work out this time. my husband was VERY frustrated with the whole process too and wanted to stop several times. we did take a few months break. i am sure he just needs a little break and will be willing to try again. Like CEB said, i hope there was something i could say to make you feel better. you are not alone. you will be in my prayers always.

I always have to take provera in order for AF. I am currently on metformin but not to help ovulate. I have to take injectables to make me ovulate. However, the metformin did make me lose weight. I know that's why some Dr.'s prescribe it in hopes to help weight loss and to then be able to ovulate on your own. If that's why you're taking it, it definitely does help to lose weight, even if you're really not trying to. I take the metformin because its believed to help reduce the chances of miscarriages with women who have PCOS. I lost my twins this past August, and was then given metformin. Its kind of rough to get used to but then its not so bad.
Good luck to you.View Thread
"met". You have been so supportive of me. We have definitely been traveling the harder road. I'm hoping we both will be reaching our destination really soon.
My temp yesterday was 97.80 and this morning 98.10. So I hope I ovulated, and my temps are just taking their time rising. Prayers and fingers crossed.View Thread

You've got to post on Wed. and let us know what happens at your appt.View Thread
The Metformin made me pretty sick for a few months. I hope you continue to feel good while taking it. I hope it helps you and your husband get that bfp!View Thread
We're still just kind of waiting right now. I had to go on BCP for the cyst that developed during my last injectable cycle. When AF came. day 3 I had to have a bunch of blood work to prepare for IVF. They put me back on BCP to get the round of IVF started. You have to start IVF on BCP I guess so they have complete and total control of ovaries. I've been on the second round of BCP for about a week and a half now. We go next Wednesday to sign all the paper work for IVF. At that time we will meet with my RE who will explain which medications he wants me to be take and any other info he needs me to know. We will then meet with a IVF nurse who will give me a schedule of shots and u/s schedule and rough idea of when we will do ER and ET. She will make sure I understand how to do all the shots and DH will have to learn how to give me some as well. I guess the entire appointment is supposed to take about an hour and a half. It might be a little shorter for me since I already know how to give myself shots and wont have to learn that. Its a little nerve wracking but it will be all worth it if I end up getting pregnant. So I'm assuming sometime the end of next week I will start injectables.
How is your cycle going? Have you had any u/s yet?View Thread
I just wanted to tell you my story. I have PCOS, we TTC for 2 years, I started seeing a RE, he put me on 1000mg of Met 2x daily. I got my BFP after being on the Met for 6 cycles (7 months). I had my miracle son on 11/25/11. I just wanted to say that the Met worked for us, and we are so grateful! Don't give up hope, remember the darkest hour always comes before the dawn. ***HUGS***View Thread
my husband didnt even agree 'giving a sample', infact we only managed to do it once, and it worked so you're already doing a lot more than that. i will keep you in my prayers! that is wonderful news!View Thread
Good luck on Monday and please let me know how it goes.View Thread
