Everyone above is correct, all of our journeys are different and no one is guaranteed a happy ending - whether we take the gamble to spend the big bucks or not. It was not my intention to imply that it was my business to approve or disapprove of anyone's decisions on this journey. <br /><br />I was also certainly not trying to speak for anyone else who has had to make the choice to gamble with IVF (regardless of the outcome). In full disclosure, I've gone through 2 IVF cycles so far, with IVF#1 no eggs fertilized; IVF#2 the fresh transfer failed, the FET with the one remaining embryo succeeded but the betas didn't double and fell after a week. That was two weeks ago today. I'm guessing some of my reaction was fueled by lingering emotions related to that roller coaster. <br /><br />My comment was an attempt to express that I knew my reaction was not reasonable and would come off poorly without creating an issue over it. I failed spectacularly.Mrs. Higrenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716402229360715867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864154272358329303.post-79858753122750161462009-10-25T03:15:14.935-07:002009-10-25T03:15:14.935-07:00Thanks for your comment on my blog.

We've lost 9 babies together (4 for me and 5 for you)...that is a lot! Why would we do IVF when we can get pregnant? I would love to do IVF if it meant I would have a baby born in 9 months but I know my body and yours, our bodies don't let our babies grow for some reason.

Seriously it is hard enough to go through what we are going through but then to lose that kind of money, well, that just makes it suck more! IVF isn't an option until they know why you are miscarrying.<br /><br />babyparmaore.blogspot.comJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326718619587232436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864154272358329303.post-31910795505894857242009-10-23T17:56:47.192-07:002009-10-23T17:56:47.192-07:00To Mrs.Higrens.....from someone that has expirence...To Mrs.Higrens.....from someone that has expirenced both IVF and just the basic needs of getting pregnant. Even HAVING to take the IVF route doesnt mean that "everything will be so much better". I personally have gone through 5 years of infertility and still have ended up without a pregnancy or a child. So there is just as much heartbreak as getting to the enduring stage of making the embryos (which is very emotionally and physically exhausting) as there is to the point of actually watching the dr. place them in your uterus! then one week later, knowing that you are pregnant with those embryos, praying each day that they have taken and will continue to grow, just to go in and find out that your beta never did rise, because they didnt take. And then try doing this process over AGAIN! Its worse the second time around and even with 10x the anxiety. I cried the entire time I was in there as my 8 fertilized embryos went from 2 placed the first round. not taking. To 6 frozen and then thawed. only 3 made the process, and 2 were ready to implant. As im on the table ready to get my embryos implanted the dr turns to tell me that only 1 made it out of the whole process. That really increases the anxiety level to where I cried for the entire time. With in a week of that implantation, the beta was negative. <br />So next time before you put your words in your mouth.....each of us are different and have to take a gamble to make our journeys. Mine for trying to have children is over. Im 31 and was told by my GYN that im in need of a hysterectomy due endometriosis. So try having the whole thought of never being able to try to have a baby again, at the ripe age of 31yrs just when im getting ready to be remarried again. Thats food for thought.Erikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864154272358329303.post-70895347162034301532009-10-22T11:10:16.057-07:002009-10-22T11:10:16.057-07:00Wow.

...Wow. Not the type of shots I thought you meant!<br /><br />Maybe I'm sensitive about this, but you transfer embryos in IVF and hope they implant. (Apparently your words really pushed my buttons because there is a lot more I want to say about IVF and how some of us HAVE to take that gamble, but I will resist.)Mrs. Higrenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716402229360715867noreply@blogger.com
