This Better Work

in Infertility

  ET was this morning.  We transferred 2 embryos; 1 8B and 1 6A.  Unfortunately, out of our 9 that had fertilized, only the 2 had progressed.  We don't have any to freeze.  I was so disappointed and my RE gave me a long, odd explanation before giving me my numbers.

  I just really hope this works out.  I didn't think I'd have to start over from scratch next time, but I will.

  My goal is twins, a boy and a girl, so if we don't get both this time, we'll do it again.  I just want my baby no matter what it is of course.

    That sounds great! Don't worry too much! It's hard I know! GL!
    Five IUI 's and two 3 day IVF transfers and two chemical pregnancies. Unknown to me at the time was that I was hypothyroid and had endometriosis. All that heartache and money and I would have never gotten pregnant. Time for new RE. New RE found the thyroid and endo. I had another 5 day transfer in April when all 7 embryos arrested on day four. Transferred three morali and didn't conceive. Thyroid function is excellent now. DH SCSA came back perfect. Now for IVF number four in June 2013. I had two perfectly expanded blasts put back and five frosties! I have never gotten this far! Now to wait for blood test on 6/26. My heart is In my throat! Please let this work, BFP with HPT 7 days and 8 days after transfer.

    2/13 - DH's SA was normal and OBGYN did BW on me to check ovulation - all was normal.  Went to RE in March 2013 at BIVF.  All BW was normal, estrogen a little high.  4/13 - HSG #1 - very painful and had spasms so suggested repeat of procedure.  5/13 - HSG #2 done by RE and both tubes are blocked :(  Per RE's recommendation - IVF cycle #1 in June 2013 w/ Follistim, Ganirelix, Ovidrel and Crinone.  BFP on 7/9/13 Beta #1 at 330.  Beta #2 at 895.  7/25/13 1st U/S at 6wk2d- it's TWINS!  Baby A 115bpm and Baby B 101bpm.

    Try to relax, as difficult as it may be. I hope everything does work out for you and that you will have your take home baby/ies.

    Congrats on being PUPO!  It's disappointing not to have any as back up in the freezer but focus on the here and now and right now you are PUPO!!  Snuggle in little embies!  You have a great attitude that if at first you don't succeed, try try again.
