We got the results of her blood test back yesterday and she was negative for pregnancy ! This was devastating to her as we had our hopes up very high. In fact I never even considered that she wouldn't get pregnant from this as everything seemed to go better than expected.

Now we have to decide if it is worth the effort to go through this for a second time, whether it increases or decreases the chances on a second go around.
This was a VERRY BIG let down.

So sorry that things did not work out for you this go 'round. Hopefully if you decide to pursue this avenue again, you'll have far better results.

Sorry, Pushrod!

A friend of mine went through YEARS of fertility treatments/specialists and nothing ever took. Once her and her husband stopped all that, she became pregnant the old fashioned way (about a year later). There is hope, just hang in there!

I do believe it is I that you're referring to that has 3 kids thanks to SG! Loved them there!!! I recommend them because I tried 2 other places that weren't nearly as up to date as they are - and, well, because it worked!!

Dr. Widra was fantastic - loved my nurse, too!

And I wasn't lucky enough to have had it work on the first try! I lost 3 babies and had one ectopic along the way - but that wasn't SG's fault.

As for being overweight - that's BS. I am a touch overweight and no one EVER slighted me for it! In fact, I have PCOS. . . Doc told me that it wasn't proven if being overweight causes PCOS or if the PCOS causes a person to be overweight. I can't comment on the smoking because I did quit before spending that kind of money to conceive!

I actually know someone else that had twins through SG and another pregnant now with twins from SG. Highly, highly recommend them.

Yes, I sure was talking about you. You were quite the moral support I needed when I was going through this long process!

Thanks everyone for the info. I went to my initial consult and things went well. Hubby and I went today for his SA and my day 3 ultrasound and blood work. I have a total of 19 antral follies. YIPPEE!!!!! I should get my blood work results back this afternoon. HSG next week followed by my consult with another DR regarding my hypertension and we should be good to go. I see the doctor again July 22 and should be ready to start our first and hopefully only IVF cycle on July 27. Things have gone quickly it is just unreal. They were upfront about the fees and we are ready for it. The doctors feel confident this will work for us. I have had two children from a previous marriage and the only reason we have “issues” is because I had my tubes tied and then reversed and it didn’t work. Hubby’s swimmers are a bit slow, so hopefully with a little push we can get pregnant.

I'm hoping for the best for you & hubby. I really hope to read some good news from you soon!

Pushrod, I'm so sorry it didn't work out the first time for you. I know how upset you & your wife must feel. Hubby was so excited to hear the results when we went through this process. I, on the other hand, was afraid to get my hopes up after going through a miscarriage before. Although I tried to remain optomistic, I was afraid to. I was scared to be letdown. It's such an emotional rollercoaster.

We were so fortunate that it worked the first time for us. For many, it takes multiple attempts. A friend of mine had to go through it 3x before it worked. They had been trying to conceive for 6 or 7 yrs before the IVF worked. Two years after their miracle baby was born, they got pregnant with no help and had another son. I know how upsetting this is for you, but you're not alone. Unfortunately, so many couple face this. It is devastating. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry to hear the first cycle wasn't a success - I do know how devastated you both must be! I would definitely say it's worth a second shot, though! Take a break if need be - this process is just as mentally exhausting as physical. But then end result, once you get there, is so worth it!

Stay with it!

My first procedure everything went beautifully. Lots of eggs, lots of embryos (I've lost the names for it all) Implantation went well. I felt great. Even the weather and the hotel room where lovely. I was sure it worked, and was extremely depressed when it didn't.....

Second procedure made me physically sick.. I was miserable for hours after...Torrential downpour on the drive up. The hotel was gross...I was crabby for days and verbally attacked poor Dr. Mottla on my follow-up. But that one took!

I have finished all my pretesting. FSH is 8.83 all other hormone tests were normal. I had my day 3 ultrasound and had 19 antral follicles. YIPPEE!!!! HSG went great. Tubes blocked which we knew about. No hydrosalpnix. Lining was great!
Hubbys swimmers will need help that’s pretty much it. We go for our follow up with Dr. K next Wednesday. We should be a go to start meds on day 21 which will be July 27!!!!

Great news! I pray for great results for you and your husband.

We are getting ready to start the process again. The medication has been ordered and will arrive this week. Second times a charm they say.

Well folks we are all geared up to start. Meds were ordered today and will be delivered tomorrow. Shady Grove gave us Follistim and Menopur for free. Someone donated it to the clinic and they gave it to me. YIPPEE! Some of my meds are covered by insurance some are not. Our total cost for meds this cycle is $147.59 and I start on Sunday. Pushrod did your wife join the website I told her about? If she did tell her to send me a private message so we can chat. Thanks and good luck.

The best of luck to all of you who are in this process. It is a real roller coaster. Especially when the meds kick in!

She said she had seen it before when you had given her the link. I'm not sure if she actually joined the forum or not. I will have to ask her. She has been working alot of 15 - 17 hour shifts at the hospital so hasn't had alot of time for miscellaneous home stuff.
