    Confused Mom of 3 Boys Going for IVF/PGD for Our Princess

    After our last sway at a girl ended with a beautiful and healthy boy we are now beginning our journey at IVF/PGD to attempt a chance at having a little princess. We have done all the pre-tests, and should be starting our cycle towards the end of July with a retrieval sometime in mid August. My only concern is I had a very low (undetectable) AMH and am 38. I was breastfeeding at the time and have now stopped, taken COQ10, DHEA, and had a retest yesterday and do no know my results. At this point, our RE is planning on using an Estrogen Priming Protocol, which is typically used for low responders, so I am not sure how all of this will turn out. I am excited, yet very nervous at how I will feel using the money for this purpose and it might not work at all.

    Last sway for ended with a beautiful baby .

    Surprise BFP Sept 2013...Ended in (D&C 11/19/13 - No HB at 11 weeks)
    Tried each month with no success at pregnancy on our own from 12/13-9/14. Moved on with RE.

    IUI #1 with Injectables 10/17/14 = BFN at 14 DPIUI
    IUI #2 with Injectables 11/14/14 = BFN at 11 DPIUI

    FET "Baby Stella" 3/17/15 = BFP betas 22,44,51,52...CP :

    Donor Embryo Attempt 2 - FET 7/10/15 - BFP!!

    Betas...10 p5dt = 177
    12 dp5dt = 534 (30.1 hours doubling time!)
    14 dp5dt = 1339 (36.2 hours doubling time!)
    17 dp5dt = 3993 (45.7 hours doubling time!)
    21 dp5dt = 5839 (175 hours doubling time)...trying to be positive...HRC suggested that both implanted and one didn't make it...had pink spotting on 19dp5dt please don't leave us yet little one.
    23 dp5dt = 12,292!
    28 dp5dt = 29,504
    1 Beautiful seen at 6w3d (measuring 6w1d) 123 bpm! Heartbeat seen again at 8w3d 180 bpm!
    Anatomy Scan at 17 weeks shows a happy and healthy little girl!

    Good luck! Where are you cycling?

    and my IVF/PGD

    It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

    Fertility Institute of San Antonio. RE is Dr. Susan Hudson. Our time line is probably to start Estrogen around July 26, then begin stimming August 3, with ER set for mid August. We will know more at our IVF class/planning meeting on July 18.

    I'm in San Antonio too. I'm new to all of this, but I wasn't even aware anyone in SA even did PGD IVF!! I had been thinking of going to SIRM in Dallas, so this is so exciting to learn. I'm al little ways out though...just had my second little boy 9 weeks ago. I'd like to start trying when he's about 16-18 months, so aroundNov 2014, and I'll be 31. I would love to follow your journey!
