Pregnant after IF

Question for those of you who were successful with IVF

Hi all!  I'm new to this board, and have been posting over on IF and TTC after 35.

I'm curious what your diagnosis was, and how many rounds of IVF it took to get pregnant.

I suffer from a blocked fallopian tube, and as best my ER can tell, everything else is working just fine. DH's SA is above average as well.  We are doing IVF #1 right now (BCPs until 8/29 and then start stimming on 8/31), and I was curious to see how people with a similar Dx did with IVF.  TIA!

10/10: Married; 5/11: Dx: Blocked Fallopian Tube; 7/11: D&C/Hysteroscopy to remove polyp
IVF #1: 9/11: ER: 12R, 11M, 10F, No Frosties; 5dt: 2 blasts, 1 morula; DD born 6/3/12
IVF #2: 11/12-12/12: ER: 20R, 20M, 16F, 4 Frosties; 5dt: 3 blasts, DS born 8/9/13

Re: Question for those of you who were successful with IVF

  • We're "unexplained" according my latest RE, but my hormones are slightly wonky, DH has had borderline SA's, and I had a uterine septum (removed).  We got pg w/one on our 1st fresh cycle, but had an unexplained m/c.  The twins are from our 1st FET.  Best of luck!
    TTK 9/06 / TTC 10/08 / Twins 12/11 / Life Blog
    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

  • my H was diagnosed with azoospermia, and as we were doing diagnostic testing for IVF for that we discovered i have a blocked fallopian tube.

    IVF #1 ended in a c/p

    IVF #2 got us here :)

    good luck to you!

  • We had severe MFI that changed to mild MFI. First IVF was unsuccessful. Second IVF brought us 1 little baby!

  • We are sort of unexplained. I've had a couple abdominal surgeries so the initial thought was scar tissue. During my last round of IVF with a new RE (after two fresh and a frozen), they started to wonder if my issue is egg quality. Luckily during IVF#4 they found two stellar embies who turned into our little girls on the way.

    Best of luck to you!!

  • I have PCOS and Stage III endo.  DH has some issues (low count and motility). 

    We got pregnant with IVF #1 but had an early m/c.

    We did another fresh cycle and got pregnant with twins.  I'm 22 weeks 2 days today.  Hoping they stay in there for the long haul.

  • We were also "unexplained." From what we could tell my Fallopian tubes may have been the issue. Although my HSG showed they were open, there was scar tissue surrounding them as a result of previous surgeries I'd had for Crohn's Disease. Best of luck in your journey!

  • We were oficially unexplained, although my lining was always pretty cr*p. Also, this cycle, we did a 5dt, which showed the embryos that looked 'amazing' at day 3, infact did not make it to day 5, so I think there may have been some back luck in picking the right embryos.

    IVF#1 - BFN - transferred 1 'perfect' 3 day embryo
    FET#1 - BFN - transferred 2 'perfect' 3 day embryos
    FET#2 with a new RE - BFP - transferred 1 hatching blast and 1 morula.

    TTC #1 since 03/09 Dx Unexplained
    Jan to April 2010 - Clomid - All BFN
    June 2010 - IVF - BFN
    Oct 2010 - FET #1 - BFN
    Dec 2010 - endometrial biopsy
    Jan 2011 - Surprise BFP! - m/c at 6w5d
    March 2011 - FET #2. Thawed 11 Day 1 embryos; 5 'exploded' / possible lab error?
    ET 4/2/11 transferred 1 blast & 1 morula
    Beta#1 10dp5dt =81; Beta#2 12dp5dt =222 Beta#3 16dp5dt =1337

  • IVF#1 (in Korea) - transferred one high quality embie because I hyperstimulated and had some fluid. BFN.

    IVF#2 (in USA) - I hyperstimulated again but less severe than before so transferred three high quality embies. BFN.

    FET#1 (in USA) - transferred 2 thawed embies. BFP! Now pregnant with singleton.

    I only have one tube (similar to having one blocked tube) and husband has low motility. My RE said he was pretty surprised that I didn't get it the second round but I really think that hyperstimulation played a villian role in the fresh transfers. I'm just glad I have plenty of left over embies for future FETs.

    Good luck to you and I hope you get a sticky on your first round! God knows how expensive this all is...

  • Diagnosis of MFI until we started stimming, then MFI & DOR.

    We had to do three cycles to get here.

    Good luck!

    I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see. BabyFetus Ticker

  • Our official diagnosis was PCOS,  but in the end, they suspected egg quality issues (perhaps due to the fact that I'm over 35).

     Good luck!

     

    TTC since April 2009 dx = PCOS; TTC History for DS - A FET miracle after 7 IUIs; 2 fresh transfers, and 1 other FET resulted in BFNs. Hoping and Praying for baby #2: Cycle 1 - FET; November 2012 BFN Next Steps - who knows? Lilypie Second Birthday tickers
  • Stage II Endo and slight PCOS for me, but my RE believes my main problem was immune issues. I had 30 eggs retrieved, transferred 2 embies, and have 11 frosties, so we don't think it was egg quality issues.

    I am KU w/ twins from 1st IVF.

    Best of luck!! 

    TTC since 8/09
    DX: PCO, ENDO, High NK, MTHFR
    8/10 = Lap to remove Endo

    2 Femara TI, 3 Follistim IUI = BFN & 1 c/p
    IVF #1 - BFP - boy/girl Twins!

  • I was unexplained the IVF worked on the first try! We just found out it is a girl. I wish you all the luck in the world!
  • We're MFI - low count and low morph.  Everything else, besides my really long cycles, was normal.  I got a BFP with IVF-ICSI #1, but it was a blighted ovum.  IVF-ICSI #2, we put back 2 blasts and got a second BFP.  This is our current pregnancy and we will be having a little boy in December!  GL with everything!
    TTC since July 2009.
