New Here - My Story
Hi All,
First, I would like to say how nice it is to find a forum like this with members from the same community. I've lurked on other major infertility boards for quite awhile. Its great that here you can get feedback about specific doctors and medical groups. And it sort of brings the whole experience closer to home...if you know what i mean.
Anyway, I will try to make a very long story as short as possible. We've been trying for our first for alittle over 2 years now. Basically, dh had a low sperm count and had varicocele repair surgery (which turned out to be very successful in increasing his count). I also had a lapro and a cyst was removed from my tube and some minor endo was zapped. Our protocol has basically had been iui with chlomid or injectibles. All in all, both before and after our surgeries, we did a total of 9 iui's. We had enough and this past fall we decided to jump to IVF.
Well, I had a bout with OHSS...not fun. We started out with what looked like a good batch of embies that did not all make it to a day 4 transfer. We transferred 3 based on the poor quality. But, we did get pregnant. What a feeling...i would never trade that joy for anything else in the world. Unfortunately, our world crashed around us when i started having pain and bleeding. It was ectopic. On december 9, i had my left tube removed due to a rupture. It wasn't such a merry christmas.
I finally got AF last friday...i never thought i would be so happy... i can finally close this horrible chapter. We made an appointment for a consult with a new RE…east coast fertility. We figured...new year...new doctor. Lets try a change of scenery. We had been with rsofny and unfortunately, if anything could have gone wrong, it did. I'm not placing blame...its just time to try something different. There are actually a few doctors there that I love…its an unfortunate situation.
So thats my saga in a nutshell. Hope i didn't bore you. I'll be around...And i may need some info from the east coast fertility patients...

Hello, Welcome and I hope your stay here is short.
I started with RSNY and was not happy with them either. I am using LIIVF now. I know Diane got PG with twins through ECF, so you may want to send her an FM.
Good luck to you!!!!

I am so sorry that you had a horrible time with your last RE! There are a lot of ladies here who have been to many different places on the island for IVF. Remember to go with your gut and chose a place that you feel comfortable with!
All the best!!!

Just wanted to say welcome and best of luck to you! This is a great board and I have received great info here from many ladies who have been through IVF before - and are willing to openly share their knowledge.
