I am just curious as we are considering IVF to grow our family again in the future. We will likely have to use ICSI and are considering transferring 2 since we are 100% OOP.
1- How many embies did you transfer?
2- Were they day 3 or day 5?
3- Did you have to do AH, ICSI, both or neither?
4- Did you end up with frats or identicals (or unsure)?
5- Was your first IVF your success?
Tia!

Hey Hoping!
How is the fostering to adopt working out? I have been dying for over a year to see those precious babies. I know you don't want to show their faces until you know they are your babies through the adoption process.
Are you thinking about doing IVF prior to knowing if you are going to be able to adopt your sweet babies?
You may have a houseful before you know it!!!! Please give me an update....

This for us too.
1 - 2
2 - Our 2 are from a FET. They were frozen on d3, thawed, then transferred on what would have been d5.
3 - My clinic routinely uses AH and ICSI. (We have no MF issues for ICSI wasn't "necessary" but we were interested in AH due to previous experiences with our 1st clinic.)
4 - fraternal
5 - No. We did 3 fresh cycles and 2 FETs. We had 3 m/cs, 1 BFN, and 1 successful pg out of that mix.

day 5
3- Did you have to do AH, ICSI, both or neither?
neither
4- Did you end up with frats or identicals (or unsure)?
fraternal
5- Was your first IVF your success?
yes.
2- Were they day 3 or day 5? 5
3- Did you have to do AH, ICSI, both or neither? We did icsi for half (5 of 10) and I have NO idea if it was a ICSI or natural fertilized embies that they put in. I guess I should have asked haha.
4- Did you end up with frats or identicals (or unsure)? they are fraternal 5- Was your first IVF your success? My 1st was 3.5 years ago and it ended up with a m/c. We then adopted and got pregnant (with only fertility drugs, shocker) and we had to do IVF a 2nd time to get more children. The second one got us our twins. So it was the first time, this time.

GL!
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
1. We transfered 2 embies
2. 5 day transfer
3. I did one cycle of of injectable w/ Inseminations, but we never made it to the insem. because i overstimulated
4. We have Fraternal Twins
5. Our 1st IVF try was a succuss
IT was definitely a draining and stressful process, but extremely worth it in the end, especially because we tried naturally for almost 2 years and to be able to get a successful IVF cycle after only 1 try was all we could hope for and more!

1. 2
2. 3 day
3. ICSI
4. Fraternal
5. Yes successful on first round.
IVF#1= transferred 1 perfect 5AA blast for a 5dt. ICSId them all b/c of borderline morph and the RE suggested it since we were that far in. BFN for that one.
FET#1 from the cycle above, transferred a 5AA and a 4AA. Frat twins.
2- Were they day 3 or day 5? 5
3- Did you have to do AH, ICSI, both or neither? ICSI but only b/c it was standard at my RE we didn't need it
4- Did you end up with frats or identicals (or unsure)? IDs5- Was your first IVF your success? My first IVF never went to transfer but this was my second IVF and first DE attempt.
Diagnosed with PCOS
1- How many embies did you transfer? 3 (RE normally would only do 2, but I only had 3 that matured and were of good/excellent quality and it would be pointless to freeze just one embryo...so he put all 3 in)
2- Were they day 3 or day 5? day 3
3- Did you have to do AH, ICSI, both or neither? neither
4- Did you end up with frats or identicals (or unsure)? Fraternal twins
5- Was your first IVF your success? No. 1st cycle was cancelled half way in because my follicles weren't developing as the RE would have liked. 2nd cycle resulted in BFP with singleton, but m/c at 7 weeks. 3rd cycle success with 2 of the three embies. Going good so far!
