I finally got a negative hcg Friday. Hoping AF will come this week. It will be six weeks since D&C this Friday 

i am open about doing ivf but really only tell my close friends. I have a great group of women and we are very open with each

megs3084

Our followup with Dr. Kwak-Kim has now turned into delaying our cycle till July.  She found some issues she needs more time to fix.  It turns out I have a tendency towards blood clots (not a clotting disorder though-high PAI-1 level) as well

katka512

Beta was today! But I'm waiting until after work to listen to the results. I can hardly focus!

Only my and Dh's parents know about our IF and not many details. I wish I could do more to make others more aware, but I'm just not at that point y

MJ14323

I'm completly devastated.  Our 2 embryos aren't dividing as they should so our IVF Coordinator said it's about 99.9% chance they won't make it to day 5 or 6 for freezing.  I'm at a loss. I had a mini breakdown at work this morning by myself but

Crystal120410

I'm in the 2ww, I'm not sure what day I am post ovulation. Maybe you ladies can help me, I triggered Thursday evening of last week. Beta may 2.
QOTD: Its not a secret with me but DH is pretty tight lipped about it. Our families and close friends kno

{{{hugs}}}} to you MJ...So sorry for your bad news.  

I had my ER yesterday and just working on resting and recovering.  Lots of nausea and vomiting, and gained about 3 lbs. in my abdomen.  I got two bags of fluid yesterday, so I

No update!

QOTD- I have told my mom and a few close friends (and a very few people at work since I leave often for appointments). DH has told no one! I don't plan on posting anything on FB. I am not ashamed of it but I don't post much on there

cupcake201

I had my second monitoring appt today and have 2 16s, a 14, 12 and 11. Hoping a few more pop up by my next appt. E2 was 665. Still waiting on a call from the nurse with instructions but I'm assuming I will stay on the same amount of stims and go back in a

Update:  I have taken 2 HPTs (one yesterday and one today) and both have given a faint line so I am cautiously

Hi All,

We had our ER yesterday and got a pretty disappointing Fert report this morning. Of the 9 eggs retrieved, 8 were mature but only 2 fertilized.  We are doing a 3 day transfer on Wednesday.

I am devastated.  I know it only t

My ER was on Friday and they got 26 eggs and 24 fertilized. RE just called a minute ago and said that there are 10 embryos between 7-9 cells.

Update:  I started stimming Friday night, so I'm on Day 4!  First monitoring appointment tomorrow morning.

QOTW:  We're out to a lot of people in our lives, but not everyone.  I wanna put something on FB for NIAW, but because of

Hi Ladies!

Looks like I will trigger tomorrow for retrieval on Thursday. I'm anxious to get the eggs out! Not looking forward to progesterone supps. Blahhhh.

QOTW: I'm very open with my IF and will be posting all week.  

metalena00

Update: Day 11 of stims, we are slowly moving in the right direction.  I have 5 follies in the 12.5 - 14.5 range, hoping some others will catch up.  My lining looks great - triple layer and 10.5, and RE is happy with the latest E2 of 800+.&nb

KariAnnM 23

Had a monitoring appointment this morning and we have 24 follicles measuring between 10-14. RE is lowering my dose of Gonal-F to 112 from 150 and I go back on Wednesday. It looks like I may have a Saturday ER but won't know 100% until Wednesday afterno

I decided to cave and POAS today. Today is 6dp5dt. I got a BFP on a Digital HPT. I hope this is a good thing! Fingers crossed and lots of prayers!

Its been a rough few days for me- hormones are turning me into a wacko! had a breakdown at work today because of all the emotions.   My lining is still an 8 and I go in for one more appointment wednesday and hopefully will be ready for transf

Not much to report here.  I have a monitoring appointment tomorrow morning and I'm hoping everything will check out OK and I'll get a firm transfer date.

Started stimming on Sat. Next appt is tomorrow.

 

Update:  Had my appt after 3 days of stims and the Dr. said I have the follicles of a 30 year old.  Not bad for an old lady at 42.  BOO-YAH!

Argh!  Another month's delay in my world of IF...

I've developed mild OHSS and had been on the bubble whether to push forward with fresh transfer tomorrow or wait it out and get the fluid out of my body.  

 Well

Allirojo

Hi Ladies! I was out for a 4 day weekend with internet issues at home, so now that I'm on lunch I can post again! I'm still on Esterace and Lupron but after my check up and B/W today they will call me and let me know when I do my trigger and transfer t

I'm a little late with my check in, been doing lots of driving for work which keeps me away from the computer.  ER was this morning.  24 retrieved, 20 were mature. The RE only expected to get 16 so we were all pleased.  They will do
