Second injectable cycle...anyone else on injectables this month?

[Heather5]

Well, the cyst from my first injectable cycle is gone! Yay! I'm CD2 today and will start femara and menopur tomorrow. I will be taking femara days 3-7 and one menopur shot on days 3, 5 and 7. I produced three mature follicles on my first round, but ended up with a BFN and a huge cyst. Hopefully I'll have some better luck this month!

Anyone else on injectables this month?

WHAT AN *A*S*S* ~ You cannot seriously be thinking of listening to him?  I have been through the same thing with my first TWO RE's that were the over-publicized donor-egg pushers.  Please don't let him get you down - look into the "America's Top Physicians" and find another REPUTABLE RE near you.  Don't listen to the *A*S*S.  He is such an insensitive B*A*S*T*A*R*D ~ shame on him.  Do a lkittle crying ~ BUT ~ onkly for allowing someone say something so nasty to you.  Where do you live..??..Who was the RE?...???....  My DH said as soon as we get prego he's gonna strut me into the past two RE's who turned us down and started pushing the donor eggs.  All they do is look at their bottom line and the numbers.

I'm sorry that my OLD RE MUST have a BROTHER that is as insensitive as he(they) was/were.

OMG, butterflybabies! I am so sorry to hear that! I feel bad now for being upset about my cancelled IUI... That really s u c k s about your eggs not fertilizing!

I can't believe they told you that it would be a miracle if you got pregnant on your own. That's not just a very insensitive thing to say, but EXTRA hurtful when you've just been told your IVF cycle is cancelled. Is there no chance that this was just a random, bad month?

I think you're right...go get a second opinion. Otherwise, you'll always be wondering.

I REALLY hope your current RE is wrong!

RE just called..2 of my eggs never fertilized and the 1 that did had an extra chromosone! RE said that looks like my egg quality is bad and that it wouldnt be worth going thru another IVF cycle..he said especially since I was on a high dosage of meds and only had 3 mature eggs...and that it would be a mircle if I ever got pregnant on my own.!! I am sitting here crying and absolutely beside myself..I know that there are other options such as egg donation and adoption but as a woman to hear that you will never produce your own children that hurts! My DH is at work and doesnt know yet and he so desperatly wants a baby...Insurance doesnt cover anything and I know egg donation is expensive...I dont know what we will do!!! Should I get a second opinion? OMG I am so hurt!!

Heather i'm guessing they do a semen analysis before frezzing.. Yer they should do... Not sure about the numbers side of things has we have never heard anything of numbers... Just how many straws we have... usually one straw per cycle...
Hope that helps.........

[Heather5]

Holy moly...22 eggs!!! That is great news, Ingy! I hope the majority of them fertilize, and that you'll have some perfect little embryos to transfer in a few days!

That's funny that you should mention freezing, because I was actually thinking about that all Saturday after the cancelled IUI. I haven't talked to my RE about it yet (or even my DH), but I think I will next time I see him. That way, my DH could provide a sample to freeze while I'm on my period or something...and we'll even be able to BD the night before the IUI to maximize our chances. Do you know if they do the semen analysis and sperm wash before the freeze, so you know what the numbers are beforehand?

Sending you and your little eggies lots of SSBD!
