Hi ladies - your board comes recommended :)
I'd like to introduce myself as I'm not sure which thread to jump in on.
Long story short, at the end of my third IVF with my own eggs - I had a beta of 71 last Friday and today's beta is only 176 so even though re is making me continue PIO shots and return Monday for blood work I know it's another chemical.
It's been a long road for all of us, my journey included the loss of our daughter conceived naturally two years ago at 39 weeks due to an umbilical cord knot, clomid, one IUI and three IVFs. Each time I had 5-6 good eggs ( or so they seemed) and 4-5 day five blastocysts but only a BFN, chemical with a starting beta of 37 and my current state.
I can't take another chemical - it is so frustrating and devastating.
Hubby wants to jump to donor egg as soon as possible - we discussed with RE prior to doing a final round with my own eggs and we have already found an acceptable match on USA donor bank. Re says by using frozen we can cycle as early as end of January
So - if I'm honest with you ---- I'm sad I can't have a baby with my own eggs. To have one naturally two years ago that was taken away and then have such crappy eggs now is a special kind of torture.
Could you please help me by sharing your experiences and how you made the switch to DE? Hubby doesn't understand - to him a DE is no big deal, we have rescue dogs and cats and I think he sees it the same way. For me --- I'm still scared I won't get over the fact it isn't my eggs.
Help please
