re: *OFFICIAL* Fertility Treatment Thread (Clomid, IVF, IUI)

Quoting Wanted: #2:" Oh and if you have any questions regarding IVF, let me know. It really not all that bad!!!"

Thank you so much!!!! I appreciate that! I'm sure I'm going to have a TON of questions when it comes so that will come in handy! Thanks again!

Quoting Spookshow Baby☠:" Rosalie Laine is my favorite girl name! It's beautiful, I also really like Raynee Elizabeth! I love the boy names as well  "

We've had Raynee Elizabeth picked out for a long time- both of our great grandmothers names- Raynee is my moms grandmas name and Elizabeth is my DH's dad's moms name, it is also my other great grandmas name.
I started browsing other names and I fell in love with Rosalie Laine- as for the boys I am so upside down with those- I'm hoping its a girl maybe even two- that way it would be so much easier to name....lol.....As for us we will probably be cursed with the boy syndrome- his sister has 2 boys and we are the last chance on having a girl in his family. In his whole extended family there are only 3 girl great grandchildren and 7 boy great grandchildren (if I'm counting right). Even with DH's cousins there is only 2 girls out of those grandchildren and there are 8 boy grandchildren. As for my family- my mom has 2 boy grandchildren, and 1 girl and another boy on the way (if its my brothers?!) and for my grandmother on dads side has 4 boys and 1 girl and the grandchildren- 4 girls, and 3 boys. As for great grandchildren there are 2 boys and 4 girls. And for my moms side of the family- her mom had 4 girls and there girls had a total of 5 girl grandchildren and 2 boy grandchildren. And for her great grandchildren she has 2 girl great grandchildren and 3 boy great grandchildren.
I know thats a lot to count but it looks like on DH's side of the family we have a higher chance of having another boy, but on my side we have a equal chance

Quoting Wanted: #2:" Hello ladies, I was told about this thread by a BG friend and am hoping to join you in this journey. ... [snip!] ... of undergoing fertility treatment. Will anybody be close with my cycle days??? No matter if "only" clomid, IUI or IVF????"

Hi and welcome!  

I hope you don't mind me asking but where in IL are you? I'm looking for a new RE, I could use some recommendations.

Good luck with your IVF cycle! IVF was recommended for us in September but I'm nervous about it. I think if I see a couple other people go through IVF I'll feel more comfortable doing it.

I like names with a meaning behind them! The girl names you picked are beautiful! **Pink Dust** I hope you have two girls  

If we get pregnant this cycle, I'm sure it'll be a boy. I really want another girl.

I'm in the suburbs outside of Chicago. I was actually looking at Fertility Centers of Illinois' website yesterday. Did you go to any other fertility clinics? I'm having issues with my RE's office, in December I'm seeing my OB for a referral to a new RE. This time around I'm doing my research.. When I picked my RE before I went with him because he was only 5 minutes away.

Thats awesome that you want another girl- usually most want the opposite sex. I really do want a girl, but I had a final realization that I would be ok with another boy too. There for a long time I was totally against it, but recently I had a dream of having another boy and it has stuck with me since. Just seeing his precious face and breast feeding again, I dont think it would matter if it was a boy or a girl.

You're all probably going to laugh but over the summer I read an article about avocados increasing the success rate of IVF. It's believed to help since it's a good fat. Anyway, for the past 3 weeks I've been eating avocados three times a week. I hope it does something for me!!

Don't get me wrong, I'd love and be happy with whatever I have.. I'd just prefer another girl right now. With my daughter I bought EVERYTHING pink! I bought too much clothes for her, I have enough clothes for twin girls. Seriously, I have a ton of outfits that my daughter never got to wear. I've been hesitant about selling her clothes just in case we have another girl.

LOL it's because we've had so much time to think about it

The names we like are Elouise grace but would call her Ellie. Wills great grandma's name is Eloise. And for a boy we like Liam cause its short for William and unsure of the middle name

There are only 2 R.e's within 50 miles of where I'm at. The one in Spokane who I went to is a complete ass who I will never go to again and the new one here that I'm trying to see now. The one before wouldn't tell me anything and when I told him we wanted to take a break rolled his eyes and said well good luck with that. The whole office staff I know judged me cause of my tattoos and I was fed up with it

I have heard nothing but great things about them especially their lab in Highland Park is supposed to be fantastic (and I have a few friends in the area who did IVF) We just moved here so I don't have other local clinic information. As said so far it as been extremely organized and I feel in good hands. Where exactly are you ?
