Hey lovelies,
So, as much as I vowed that I'd move over to CFNBC, I've had a couple of interesting things happen to me and I need your advice/opinions on how to proceed.
1) I just found out that my 25yo cousin is willing to donate her eggs to me. I have no idea how much that costs, but now I'm wondering do I give the TTC journey another try and go for it. I'm not close to her, and she lives a few hours away. She's a bit odd, but hopefully I can say that's more environmental than genetic, right???
2) I still need to make a the WTF appointment with the RE. After a lot of retrospect, I feel the nurse messed up. Now hear me out and tell me if I'm crazy or not. The nurse that I was assigned to was very nice but very flaky. She had me taking E2 orally. Now, throughout the prepping cycle, I had 2 other nurses question why I was not taking it vaginally, as that is typically the procedure. I didn't know why. So, when I did the levels check 4dpt, and she told me that my E2 levels took a major dive, all she said was that I needed to take E2 3x per day. I had to ask if I should be taking it vaginally. She responded, "well, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Go ahead and take it vaginally in the AM". I asked if I needed another level check and she said no, just wait for my beta. 2 days prior to my beta, she calls and tells me to start taking all 3 vaginally.
Clearly, I feel cheated. I have no proof that that was the reason for it not working, but in my gut I feel it played a major part. Do you think I have have room to argue my point to the doctor? I frickin want a do-over!
Or, am I just a desperate, broke woman who is cuckoo-nuts?

. Seriously, we are all a little odd, some just don't keep it tucked in as neatly. So, by the time you pay for IVF monitoring, drugs, ER and your monitoring and transfer, you could probably do one of the embryo guarantee programs like at my clinic. People travel to mine all the time. And, mine isn't the only clinic that does that sort of thing. PM me if u want info, and good luck. I'm sorry you didn't have good outcome with this one. I hope you can find a way to make it happen. Keep us posted!
