There was a clinic in CO (same one?) that was able to test the fertilized eggs for the defect prior to implanting. The only place in the country that would do it. She was implanted earlier this year and delivered a healthy baby boy on 10/30. I wish you the best of luck!Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986847024637960197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-16877035512617667602009-11-06T11:53:44.765-05:002009-11-06T11:53:44.765-05:00Hi Mo!!

At first it was a bit like being hooked up to a car battery, but it really did get the blood flowing. I always felt energized after those sessions and my skin was flushed.<br /><br />For the most part, CCRM does run like a well-oiled machine. I have a lot of faith in them and particularly in Dr. S. Like you said, he doesn't sugar coat things, so if he thinks there's hope, there's good reason to believe him.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238040997371351013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-2920680467217842192009-11-05T23:07:56.567-05:002009-11-05T23:07:56.567-05:00Hey Mo,

Although my IF history is different than yours, I went to CO after 4 failed IVFs at 2 other good clinics - traveling across the country just like you. Dr. S. got me PG twice, I have him to thank for my kids. I hope this trip is the beginning of great things for you. <br />They also diagnosed me with somewhat restricted uterine bloodflow and I did the electro acu with one of the clinic-recommended acus. I can tell you who I used if you want to let me know where I can email you.<br />B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-23503866485849410912009-11-05T15:34:56.907-05:002009-11-05T15:34:56.907-05:00Sounds amazing and thorough and yes I feel hopeful...Sounds amazing and thorough and yes I feel hopeful for you!<br />and<br />yeah, wouldn't that be something!

Btw, I had the same poor blood flow issues, so before my second and successful cycle, I did two electroacupuncture sessions/week for a month (so eight sessions...). Apparently the protocol is more effective if you do the all eight sessions in one month period. It's not nearly as unpleasant as it sounds and the doppler u/s after my treatments showed normal blood flow. :) <br /><br />I can't wait to hear more details about your visit!MissMVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454986676679634784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-52761647964358047712009-11-04T23:55:48.688-05:002009-11-04T23:55:48.688-05:00Welcome home.
