Post Stats-
In strange "off" cycle with my temps all messed up! Am on cycle day 19.
Highest FSH: 39. Lowest: 10 Usually: high 20's
Clinic-
Currently not with anyone, planning on calling Monday to see Check (we were waiting as my DH just stared a new job that has him traveling a bunch and did not want to make an appointment we could not keep!)
Old Clinic-
Reproductive Specialists of Long Island
RE- (Old Re)
Maria Saketos, M.D. She is wonderful and very willing to work with high FSH ladies. I did feel, however, during my IVF, that I got passed from Dr to Dr to Dr and then back again with everyone changing the last person's orders. I did not know enough to put my foot down, at the time.
They have a great staff and wonderful nurses but are a bit pricey. They are willing to remote monitor. Cheryl Luckey is the billing lady to get in touch with, she is an angel!
Age- 36, start ttc at 34
Protocol-
One unmediated IUI with trigger shot when my FSH was at it's lowest. BFN. I can't remember my IVF protocol, though I could look it up, but it did not work anyway. (Only one follicle produced, it did fertilize into a 6 cell grade b and was put back on day 3, BFN.) Two months ago I believe that I had a chemical due to symptoms but I did not test and got AF at day 30. I have stopped taking PG tests as I can't handle the monthly negative. Currently I am: Eating/drinking one grapefruit daily, taking 3 mg melioration, pre-natal vit, 400 extra folic acid, 600 "q-sorb" co-q-10, 2,000 vit d3 and a strong cup of raspberry leaf tea every morning. Did 8 appointments of TCM, it was not for me.
Any Relevant Info-
I am: fit, the proper weight, healthy, all test clear and negative. DH has some motility/morphology issues but very high volume so we have been told it's not an issue. I have never had a BFP that I know of. My DH and I have made some clear choices so after seeing Dr.Check for a while if he will have us will be moving onto adoption of some sort. We are very open to embryo adoption, not because I have any need to be pregnant but because I am very doubtful a birth mom with pick us for finical reasons. (We don't fit the usual profile. We are artists and freelancers) We will try domestic adoption but probably go international.
With all that I am stupidly optimistic and think that every month could be "the month" and let myself get very disappointed when it is not. You'd think after 30 disappointing months I'd be less optimistic! I guess all this tells you who you really are!
I am also very very grateful to all the Ladies on this board, I would be insane and lost without you!
