IVF and ICSI: August 2006
http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 18, 2006. FET #4 on Hold. We've decided not to do a FET cycle this month for 2 reasons. 1) I'm a teacher and this year I am teaching a new grade and I am moving to a new classroom. The transfer would fall at the end of August or beginning of September when I need to be at school getting my classroom ready. My RE is one who is for 3 days of bed rest after a transfer so I really can't afford to do that at this time. 2) Paul and I need a break as well as my body needs a break! Cancelled cycle...

IVF and ICSI: December 2005
http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 21, 2005. Ever since we made the decision to go IVF/ICISI we've essentially given up trying to get a BFP on our own. We've handed our future over to a doc and his team. We go on vacation next week. We've always slept so well while we are away. And it is not the bed or the room. I think just being away from it all makes all the difference in the world. I'm looking forward to the week. Mainly because I hope to sleep deeply through the night. I wish I could get my thinking right. I told ...

IVF and ICSI: March 2006
http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 12, 2006. Bad News and Good News. Bad news: No beans in my belly. Good news: We have at a minimum, 14 embryo's frozen (14 embyros made it to the blastocyst stage and 6 could potential make it there tomorrow - if so, they will be frozen too). Our doctor said with that amount of embryo's frozen it's not a case of "if" we get pregnant, it's a case of "when". We are disappointed but we know it's the right decision. Besides, we've waited 2 years to get to this point, what's another month! The pr...

IVF and ICSI: July 2006
http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 28, 2006. On Wednesday we transferred 3 embryos. All 3 embryos survived the thaw really well according to Dr. C. I've been taking it easy for the last 3 days as per doctor’s orders. Beta is set for Aug. 9. I think we've mentioned our doctor likes to joke around in the procedure room. His comment this time just after he released the embryos into me, "If you get pregnant with triplets, I'll shoot you! How ironic would that be! Posted by Lisa @ 6:43 AM. Tuesday, July 25, 2006. On the drive back...

http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2006. Back on Birth Control. Who would have thought that after being birth control free for 2 years that I'd be back on the pill! Posted by Lisa @ 1:15 PM. Thursday, January 26, 2006. I stumbled across this site http:/ whennatureisnotenoughivf4me.blogspot.com/. She is going through cycle #3. She just had the retrival yesterday. Here's a copy of her 'about me.'. And check out the blogs she links to on the right hand side. Posted by Paul and Lisa @ 5:42 AM. Wednesday, January 25, 2006.

Tuesday, May 30, 2006. FET cycle number 2 officially started today. Start the Estrace tablets tonight and we have the ultrasound and bloodwork booked for June 8. Let's hope we get lucky the second time 'round! Posted by Lisa @ 1:34 PM. Friday, May 26, 2006. Results of beta #2. Well, after our very slight positive on Wednesday, the results today show a definite negative. We can try another FET again next month. Here's hoping we will get better results next time. Posted by Lisa @ 2:01 PM. We had the transf...

IVF and ICSI: February 2006
http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2006. The other numbers (morphology and motility) were all in normal range as well. Today I look like a vodoo doll with all my bruises and poke holes. What can I do to make it easier I drink a glass of orange juice and drink water all the way down to the clinic (about 50 minutes). Needless to say, I need to find the bathroom as soon as I get there! Posted by Lisa @ 2:53 PM. Sunday, February 26, 2006. 2 Injections a Day. A good movie for someone who is on hormone drugs to see! March ...

IVF and ICSI: April 2006
http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 23, 2006. This show is back on the road! AF arrived last night what a relief! I am a born worrier (thanks, mom) so I was very worried that I would have a marathon cycle and have to delay this IVF process even more. Well, all my worrying was for nothing! It's back yahoo (I never thought I'd be so excited to see my period)! Posted by Lisa @ 7:10 AM. Friday, April 21, 2006. Still Waiting . Not so patiently though! I don't know how much more patient I can be! Posted by Lisa @ 1:54 PM. It's been...

IVF and ICSI: June 2006
http://ivfandicsi.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Today we had our transfer. Our appointment was at 1:30pm and we were told to be there at 12:45pm. At that time I was to start drinking water as they needed me to have a full bladder for the transfer. Well 1:30 came and went and we still had not had the transfer. There were 5 of us in the room waiting for the doctor. He was running way behind schedule. I can't tell you how much fun it was sitting there, waiting for the doctor, with a VERY full bladder!
