DH and I struggled with IF for 2 1/2 years before getting pregnant with our daughter thanks to Mini IVF w/ICSI & FET. She turns 1 next week!
Because we don't know how difficult it will be to have another, and we only have one embryo left, we are gearing up for an FET next month.
I'm very nervous about starting this emotional roller coaster all over again, but also very excited about the possibility of having another LO. I'm trying to remain optimistic, but I also can't help but think of "what if" it doesn't work.
I was very active on TTGP and 3T a couple of years ago before I got KU, but am hoping to rejoin TB as we go through this process again. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. And happy to answer any questions about our experience if it could help!
** After 2 1/2 years of Unexplained IF, 2 failed medicated cycles, and 4 failed IUI's - our baby girl came to us through the miracle ofMini IVF! **
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
Welcome! I remember you from 3T years ago! I have a new screen name, but it is the same with a "2" added on to the end. My son is 9 months and we are meeting with a new RE on Wednesday to start IVF. I too am nervous to do this all over again with the meds and the appointments and what not. I am hoping it will be a little easier this time around because I am blessed with my son. We shall see....... I am glad to see you here
