Hi Lifequest. Good luck! Getting your protocol is so exciting, makes it real, huh? I didn't do AH, but I did do ICSI. In fact I'm in my 2 ww right now. We had the tx on Tues., it was a blast & we tx 2 embies. Of my 19 mature eggs retrived,15 of them ICSIed which I was pretty happy with. My DH has very low morphology, 1% our last SA. Good luck! What a busy, exciting time for you. Are you doing ICSI b/c of male issues, out of curiousity or does your clinic just find that gives you an edge?

Mega, I'm so excited for you...please let me know your end results! Good Luck!!!
Well, my dh doesn't have any issues, so I'm assuming I do. The Dr. just thinks we should be aggressive on this, since I have done 2 IUI and had BFNs. I'm in that horrible catagory of "unknown infertility". I actually have a daughter who is 4, but she came the natural way...without problems. Now 5 years later, I can't figure it out. So, I'm going to try this...I'm nervous and excited. Wow, you had a good number of eggs.. What medications were you on? I look forward to hearing from you....all the best and LOTS of baby dust~

Thank you! I'll definitely keep you posted. I have heard ICSI does give you an edge & I think in this crazy process of TTC the more agressive the better. So since you're DH has good swimmers ICSI should work really well for you! I had 24 eggs total, with 19 mature. And really only of those mature eggs came from my right ovary, the rest were my overachiever left ovary which is also more polycystic than the right which explains the high response I think. I was just on Follistim, which I definitely think was the drug for me. I'd done IUIs with Repronex & had to have a very high dosage to get just a few eggs. Unexplained is rough, but IVF tends to work wonders for that category. Is your DD eager for a sibling? So when does this cycle officially get kicked off for you? I'm on an IVF for first timers thread on this board too. We'd love to have you join us. We have 3 people who just cycled & got their BFPs, I'm in the 2 ww now, 1 lady who will have her ER next week & others waiting to start. Good mix going on. If you want. I'd like to chat with you here too...

Lifequest - just saw your thread Mega has been a wealth of knowledge. I am one of those girls thats gonna start IVF soon. We just got accepted in a Shared Risk Program so we eagerly awaiting our contract then to start. But please come to our thread I recently in the past 2 weeks have joined them. They are a wonderful group of women who have helped me trying to learn all the new procedures we are about to do. Good luck to you hope to hear from you on the thread.

Hi Mega, Hi Robyn, thanks for the invite to the new thread, I will definitely come over…Mega, my DD is very eager to have a sibling. She is constantly asking for Mommy and Daddy to make her a “chubby wubby baby”…so it’s hard. I hope one day I can make her wish come true. My cycle starts after this month…I guess I have to wait for my AF to show up before they put me on the pill for a week. Well I look forward to talking to you both on the other thread. If I find it. Thanks again. Best of luck….talk to you ladies soon…~baby dust~

Excellent! I'm glad you'll be joining us on the other thread too. Robyn is right, she & the other ladies there are so supportive, it's a busy thread! "Chubby wubby baby," that's so cute. I hope she gets her wish very soon! That would be tough though b/c at that age they have no clue how hard TTC can be. I'm an only child & like me my parents weren't fertile mertiles & I wanted a sibling soooo bad and only now that I'm older & in their shoes do I get it! But then they didn't have the science advantages in the dark ages of the mid 70s that we do. So hang in there you're doing all you can (& it's alot) to make her dream come true.
