August Check In
It has been a while since I did a check in. It was slow on here so I stopped. Maybe Monthly check ins where you can add any information you want during that month will work out better.
Let us know what is new. Are you cycling? What are your next steps? If you had success share that too and let us know what worked. Also ask any questions. If you are new feel free to write an introduction. If you loved your RE recommend him or her. Basically anything infertility can be put here.
I can't believe it is August already! Where did the summer go???

August Check In
I'm on a forced break while figuring out PGD. Will do IVF again in September or October. Likely will need several retrievals to make enough blasts to send to pgd/pgs testing. Nervous to start all over again. Nervous about all the costs. Nervous that I can get through all this again.

Re: August Check In
I'm still here! I am 9w5d. I got pregnant on my first IVF cycle after 3 failed IUIs with Clomid. I am doing MaterniT21 on Monday and leaving for Disney Tuesday for 8 days...hopefully come home to good results! We will probably do a gender reveal Labor Day weekend, as long as results are back & all looks good.
Good luck to everyone!!

August Check In
Currently on my 6th round of clomid since starting in January. IUI will be sometime next week. I actually did get preggers in June but we m/c around 4th of july. likely due to my 40year old, old ass eggs. anyhoo.....this is the last round of Clomid. onto IVF in Sept if need be. we were putting it off due to the insane cost, but both me and hubby agreed I can't keep on this Clomid/IUI train much longer. best to go into the poor house for a better chance at success. baby dust to everyone and congrats babyvibes!!

I used to go there, felt the same way! I saw Dr. Scholl for a long time
Unfortunately for me I had other health issues so had to stop (lost a kidney due to endometriosis and was told my body isn’t strong enough to continue)
Best of luck!!!!!!!!!

Dr Cohen actually refused to take me on as a patient.
Cohen was my dr when we had my son. We went back to try for a second - spent another 6 plus months trying IUI again had a consult for IVF had everything set up and went for the first test and he wouldn't do it. He said he consulted with everyone in the practice and decided I was too risky for many reasons one being weight. Nothing was ever said about this before had at any appointment and I weighed roughly the same as when I had my son.
I was devestated and really felt he and the whole staff dropped the ball on everything. We had our first consult with him when my son was 6 months old and never was a word said about my weight.
Why did he turn you away?

That is a chicken shit way to turn you away and he never had a conversation with me either. My medical history is "why" he turned me away, he like one other Dr from NYC didn't have the decency to pick up the phone and tell me, or have a conversation with me. Cohen didnt return a single call for several months. This all happened at the very start. I ended up having a conversation with the office manager. I started with him then found out I had cancer, they offered for me to see a different Dr there instead of him but I walked away.
He let you go through 6 months of IUI with him as your Dr then walked away from IVF when you were ready? that's really crappy. I hope you said something to the medical director. I would have
Sorry to hear he did that to you guys

Wow. I can't believe that you did IUI there and also were successful there and turned away. Did they want you to lose weight before IVF or just said they wouldn't work with you?

I'm so sorry to hear about both of these occurances. How utterly crappy! I hope you did find doctors that wanted to take on whatever perceived risk there was - and doctors that you felt supported by
