Morning everyone,
My time has finally come to ask for your good wishes. Since I don't post that often and don't have my medical history in my siggy, here's a quick recap: it's our third IVF, and most likely, the last one with my own eggs (very low ovarian reserve). "Fun math": how many eggs do I get in every natural, non-medicated cycle? - one. What about after stimming with $4,600 worth of meds? - you guessed it - one. Actually, I had 4 nice big follicles, but only two eggs were retrieved, and one of them fertilized. ET was yesterday, 1st beta is on the 20th.
DH has been wonderful - very involved and super supportive - he even made up a cute nickname for the embie, which we've never done before... I am staying very positive, and hoping to nail it this time...
Please wish us luck, and lots of luck to you all!
Re: Entered 2ww with one precious embie...
my irl friend just did her third ivf cycle and has a similar history to yours. she had 2 eggs retrieved and one made it to transfer. she went in for her beta on wednesday and it was positive. her numbers are doubling and everything looks good so far. it can happen!!
i hope this story offers you some hope. i'm sending good vibes your way and hope to read about your bfp soon!
Totally, that's what I'm hoping for - even though I won't be able to go snorkeling
