Thanks...we are pretty optimistic but also know that it usually takes a couple times to get it to take for the average person, so the failure is still in the back of our minds.Good luck, man.Hope it works out for you.Incidentally, when we tried this 9 years ago they only had outdated mags in the "man room" but now they have a hotel style DVD system in addition to the outdated mags. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
317Good luck GWB.
Ultrasound in two weeks.
I found shedding any sense of modesty or embarrassment to be very envigorating. The folks I eat lunch with every day probably wish that wasn't the case.
So early! Are they trying to time that #### right or something?
I freakin' HATE needles!
I'm pretty sure i posted my guidance on picking a clinic...it's somehwere in this thread. $1000 isn't a big difference, so I would pay attention to the success rates with people in your demographics, how many eggs they like to transfer, comfort with the doctor, etc.
I agree with TF, and he did a thorough job. When you think about the amount committed, and the profound effect on your life if it does or doesn't work, a grand isn't a big deal.To your question, I think the first one cost about $11,500 and the second was $13,000 or a little more. The drug costs are a huge variable.
I'm pretty sure we still have some of our IUI drugs (Gonal?) that, IIRC, are also used for IVF.
for sale or whatnot on the cheap if insurance doesn't cover the drugs either.eta: lol- jeebus, I started that post to say good luck, and quickly tried to make a buck. Good Luck!We donated our unused drugs back to the doctor's office that performed the IVF. We asked for unused drugs at the time to save cost, but there were none available.Wooderson - add that question to your doctors as you perform the search.I'm pretty sure we still have some of our IUI drugs (Gonal?) that, IIRC, are also used for IVF.

will most likely do this, if it hasn't been done already.

That's great news. Congratulations. I'm no doctor and we never reached that stage, so I can't help you out with your question, but I'llSo the blood test was positive. Not only is it positive, the "number" they use (sorry for complete brain fart on the actual name) is over 500. For twins that number is around 300. We had two embryos implanted...what are the chances they BOTH split into twins?

That's pretty big for the first test. The next test in a day or so will tell you a lot I think.Awesome news!So the blood test was positive.

Very exciting time...hope you got all the COD out of your system
So we saw the heartbeat this morning. Very cool and very exciting.We also go back next week for another ultrasound because there may be another one
Babies with two hearts give extra love.

Isn't it suppose to double or something? We'd have to be well over 1000 if it doubled between friday and today

and totally agree with Worm. even with Floppo Jr #2, I couldn't believe how much I was moved by hearing that rapid-fire heart beat fluttering away in there.btw- we're deep into the third trimester with all systems go. La Floppita is a serious bongo/soccer-player and the wife is in the midst of 
. I am proud to say I haven't bit once on her preggo-crazy fishing, and have bitten my tongue into a bloody, miniscule stump. But she's as happy as she could possibly be... which is the bottom line for me until that kid pops out.
Woah. Sounds like triplets
I'm betting two. Usually they look for the number to double in ~2 days, but since it was over the weekend it ended up being three days, which would allow more time for the number to go up. Still, there's VERY likely more than one.Woah. Sounds like triplets
Yeah, I know. Just trying to freak him out a bit.I'm a little nervous that we may have two. There were definitely two sacs but we couldn't get the right angle to see if it was also viable. That said, there appeared to be definite and continuous movement that didn't match my wife's heartbeat. We'll know for sure next week.I'm betting two.
