It just depends. Most you can do back to back no problem. My issue was that every time I did IVF or a Frozen Embryo Transfer, I got pregnant, however, I could never make it past 8 weeks total. I would have to have a DNC and then wait a month after my first period. If this doesn't work for you, I am sure you can do another one pretty quick. They just don't want too much stress on your uterus, and that's why they make you wait after you miscarry (which makes sense). I did most of my IUIs back to back. I hope this works for you so you don't have to do it again. Hugs.

Also, remember the emotional aspect of this entire process can take a toll on you and your family. My husband is a great man to put up with me. We have been on this rollercoaster for a while. Your Dr. will also understand what you are going through as well. Sometimes if they think you aren't emotionally ready to go back to back procedures, they will wait a bit. I have a lot of faith in the process. I just don't have a lot of faith in my uterus!

Moondance, I did some of my IVFs "almost" back to back. I always had many eggs, like 15-20 on each side. Since several were at different sizes, there were some "leftovers" in me. So they put me on the birth control for one month (to clean things out) and then I'd go back the next month for another "round." Jen is right, your doctor will see how emotionally ready you are. Some women can't take it (the stress) as well as others. Jen and Moonie, if either of you want any info on adoption, especially certain things you'll want to start thinking about way before you commit yourself to a certain program, let me know. In the meantime, come on you little blastocyst, keep doing your thing!!!

Thanks so much Julie. If this doesn't work out, we have a Gestational Carrier waiting in the wings (she is a nurse at another hospital). She had birth for her best friend in July, and will be released to carry again after January 24th. We have already contacted the atty. that did the paperwork on the first pregnancy and it seems simple enough. I just need to work through the financing, egg donor, etc. I would rather be able to do this myself, but if this doesn't work, I needed another option. Hopefully this time the embies will stick! I took my HCG shot last night, so I should be hurting tomorrow morning around 9:30a.m. Moon, how are you today? Any news?

Funny thing. My sister-in-law worked for an organization where she did the initial interviews with sexually abused children (like an SVU interviewer, it has a professional name, but I can't remember it right now). Anyway, it took a very emotional toll on her. She quit and decided to go into nursing. This lady is one of her instructors at one of the hospitals. She is over the intern program, and they have become good friends. One day Shannon (my SIL) asked her if she was pregnant. She quickly replied yes, but it wasn't hers. She explained what she was doing, that it wasn't her egg, or her husband's sperm. She was just the carrier (so she never really felt emotionally attached). Everything was legal, and she went through an attorney in Dallas that takes care of quarterly payments, and all the Judge and legal work with her/parents/hospital. She decided to do it again because her husband will be in Iraq in 2007. She has two children, and is doing it for the money, and to help someone else who can't conceive. I hope I don't need her, but I am glad she is waiting in the wings. I figure if I can build my own house, I should be able to figure out how to get an egg donor and orchestrate this! The paperwork scares me.

Hi All ... it didn't take. I am very sad but the Doctor who wasn't so certain because of my age in the beginning is starting to think differently and has hopes for another IVF. He has some ideas so we will be doing the stimulation a little differently. It helps to know he has faith now in me. I seemed to react to the drugs well and he said I had a great uterus so I will try again after taking a month break. Thanks for all the support, it means more to me than you know.
