Results of the chromosomal tests on E reveal ... he's normal. (Only chromosomally, I reminded him.) My chromosomal and immunological tests are .... normal. We are collectively ... normal. Tomorrow I go back to the RE to discuss my new protocol, which I'm sure will be ... normal. Kidding. I won't feel like I'm getting any bang for my buck if they don't mix it up somewhat. So it looks like I'll be breaking out the box of meds again come June. And I've so been enjoying my alcohol and caffeine and puncture-free tail...
And in other news, I must share the most wonderful of wonderful news. Rebeccah from http://chasingachild.typepad.com/ is pregnant. Rebeccah, for those of you who don't know her, just had her second failed IVF (an IVF during which she studied for and passed the bar exam) and was moving on to donor eggs. Surprise, she's pregnant on her own (ok, I'm sure her husband helped) between cycles. I didn't know people could get pregnant without needles and 3 other people in the room. Please go give her well wishes!

About Me
- Melanie
- I'm a 39 year old lawyer, married since June 2006, who never thought it would take 365 days, much less 365 steps, to get knocked up. 880 days later, the final IVF (the hail Mary pass) turned into numerous positive pee sticks and a sticky embryo. My sweet baby boy was born August 18, 2009.
A brief history in time...
November 2007 - IVF #1 Nada, negative, zilch
January 2008 - FET #1 cancelled
February 2008 - FET #1 take #2 BFP but fleeting, m/c
August 2008 - IVF #2 .... Nothing positive about it, negative
December 2008 - IVF #3 BFP
Twins, but lost Little B at 7w5d
Little A measures 6.8 cm on 2-18-09
March 31, 2009 - Little A is a boy! (who weighs 7 ounces, less than a full beer)
August 18, 2009 - My Little Adam enters the world, 11 days early, at 6lbs 12 ounces.
December 25, 2009 - Adam's first Christmas, weighing in at an impressive 17 pounds.

Well, I don't know what's better: normal but not working out as you'd hoped, or abnormal. I guess normal. Sigh.
I am so thrilled that the results are normal! I know its sometimes even hard to get that result though, cause you wonder what the frick is keeping us from getting pregnant. We are still awaiting our results...
Thanks for passing on that link--thats awesome for her!
I am of the belief normal is good.
And shitty luck was the culprit. At least, it's how where I lay blame for all crappy-related pregnancy-like things!
I'm so glad the results came back normal. I know it would be nice to have an answer, but I think maybe it's better to know there aren't issues genetically. Just shitty luck as Jen said.
Really hoping this next cycle will do the trick for you!
Yep. Normal is good! I hope your cycle in June does the trick!
And... ya mean she got pregnant by having S. E. X.? People can do that????
Sounds like SOOOO much more fun than my current method!
