what a great idea!!!!!
I don’t know if I am schooled on anything yet, it is so early in my “treatment” not my journey. But I’d be happy to help if I can.

You can add me if anybody is looking into using Donor eggs — or has a diagnosis of “poor ovarian reserve” (that’s me)
currently PG w/donor eggs

I’d like to volunteer if anyone wants help battling against the “unexplained” diagnosis, or who is infertile because of PID.

I just finished watching Freaks and Geeks for the 80th time and I was thinking how cool the guidance counselor on that show was and how he streered those kids in the right direction without being condescending or judgemental(why oh why did they cancel that show). I’m so into the peer counseling idea. Sign me up for Pregnancy Loss, D&C, Ashermans, HSG’s and all that other fun stuff. Also, I might be able to help tackle pregnancy loss and infertilty from a (non-religious) Jewish perspective (how to mourn meaningfully, process, accept treatment, etc.) You have my e-mail and blog info, right?
Also, the person who posted about Cornell after 5 failed IVFs (Lisa?), how do I get in touch with her? I am considering going to Cornell now.

Ahhh, I get to bring with me, uterine anomolies. Those who have a birth defect that change the shape of our reproductive organs. I’d be happy to help in any way I can.

This is a fantastic idea! I could help in the following areas:

Pregnancy Loss (D&C/D&E, emotions, tissue testing, recurrent loss testing, rememberance, dealing with loss with child(ren) at home, affects on marriage, chosing counseling, etc.)

Diagnosis (ovulatory problems, ovulation induction, IUI, IF testing)

General (break from TTC, being a self-advocate, creative problem solving when you live far from an RE/doc, work-related issues and support)

My e-mail address is on my blog.

I was a “teen counselor”–my dazed and confused high school colleagues and I visited junior high schools to dish the dirt on what high school was REALLY like. And to talk about everything kids didn’t want to mention in front of their teachers.

I offer my dry shoulder and empty ear to talk about CHOOSING TO LIVE WITHOUT CHILDREN.

Sounds cool- makes me feel like I can help… I’m in.

I can talk about:

-Male Factor
-IVF w/ICSI and FET ad nauseum
-Coping tools (i.e. yoga, meditation, acupuncture)

You’ve got my email addy, so feel free to pass it along.

Hey…it’s me…in addition to PGD, I could also talk to people about hypothalamic ammenorhea and changing clinics after 5 failed IVFs (specifically going to Cornell). Feel free to give them my regular e-mail address (and if anyone reading this comment wants to talk about these subjects, e-mail the blogger directly and she can give you my contact info!)

I’d be willing to help people with male infertility! When we found out that’s what we’re dealing with, it really helped me to talk with others about it. I’d love to return the favor.
