Hi ladies
Mary Lee - I'm so glad you wrote in to give us an update. I was feeling so terrible after reading what had happened, and I wanted to make sure you're OK. You've been through a lot, but you seem to be rallying again, and are ready for a new cycle. Good for you! Depending on timing, I may see you on the October board too.
megz - I'm so happy for your success and that everything is progressing perfectly!
KelB - I can't believe you've had to go through all this! I am thinking about you and hoping that you're past the worst, that you'll heal quickly, and that everything going forward will be perfect!
Courtney - I'd love to hear exactly what your protocol was this time. I know everyone reacts differently, but I'm curious to know how it differed from mine.
Indie - good luck with the surgery and the possibility of a natural conception. I know you'll pull through this sad time.
anj - we've also decided to do PGD. Find out if your RE does CGH. This is the latest in PGD, and allows them to check all 23 pairs of chromosomes for abnormalities, and is apparently much more accurate than FISH, which is the traditional method. Good luck and stay in touch!
Good luck everyone!
& kisses!
Leora
