Yes he does, but finally today I got some answers today, so a big weight off my shoulders is gone.
I am 29, my DH is 47. I ovulate on my own, his counts are good... so hopefully it is just stress and we will be able to get pregnant soon. Is there anything tat you can do to improve egg quality?

Essemekay you better stay :)

Today I'm 5 days past 3 day transfer. First ivf. Amazon HPTs get here tomorrow so I can torture myself...

ikash167, did you do a fresh or frozen transfer?

So... I saw my RE today and we talked about next steps.
She said there isn't any further testing for us to do at this point for my unexplained infertility. She then told me she went to a recent annual meeting for American Society for Reproductive Medicine and found out that Clomid has a higher success rate for women with unexplained infertility then Femera (letrozole). I'm taking November and December off and starting Clomid with IUI and Ovidrel trigger in January. We're going to do 3 rounds and then decide if we'll move on to IVF from there. Insurance won't cover IVF... so that's the big decision for us if we want to go that route..

So AF was here CD#1-5. Today is CD#9 and I am spotting a little bit (blood mixed with CM - not a lot). Any idea why would that happen?

Basia, I think that is hormonal balance more that anything. Are you geting blood tests to check for LH? I took red clover and vitex to balance my cycle and get rid of spotting. But too much redclover can stop conception.

opalfoxy - how do you know how much to take?

Red clover? Not red raspberry?

I did a fresh transfer of 2 embryos. One was 8 cells, one was 7 cells.
My retrieval produced 16 eggs, 8 mature, 8 fertilized, 2 grew at the right rate..the ones we transferred... We are unexplained, I'm 26 dh 25 .
Took a test this afternoon. Put it in images...appears to be a faint bfp (first one ever!) but now I'm scared it's the trigger leftover (I triggered 11 days ago) does anybody here know how long a trigger would normally last? I did 7500
Such a mess today. We are such strong women... This is a very difficult battle...
