[quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Thanks everyone for the good wishes.  09:12, thank you for sharing your story; it sounds like our cycles were similar in a few ways.  That's wonderful that you had a baby from your first IVF - I take encouragement from that! - but I get your disappointment about the rest of your embryos.  If you are still trying for #2, I wish you all the best.

09:25, thank you for the TSH advice.  I've been working on getting my TSH down to 1.0 for almost a year.  Actually, I was supposed to do this IVF cycle a month earlier when it was canceled at the last minute - I had already bought the meds - due to a surprisingly high TSH test (over 5).  (SG wants TSH to be 2.5 or less.)  If they hadn't canceled the cycle, I would have canceled it myself, because I know how much TSH can affect the odds of conception.  My TSH was 2.0 just before I started my IVF injections.  My only concern there is that my GP will only let me test my TSH every 4-6 weeks.  I've read that IVF meds can raise TSH, so I wanted to test again after my retrieval, but Kaiser is making me wait.  I'm going to test again as soon as they'll let me.  My GP did slightly raise my meds after my last test, so my hope is that my TSH has remained stable or even improved...
