Today we had our transfer.  Out of the 12 eggs fertilized 11 of them made it to day 5.  Six were early blastocysts and the other 5 were morula.  We decided to transfer all 6 blasts and 1 of the morula.  The remaining 4 they will wait 2 more days and then freeze.  Beta is scheduled for Sept. 7th.  Excited!!!

    Congrats on all those great embryos, sounds really exciting! 

    Pardon the following question if the answer is obvious to everyone but me, but did you say you transferred 7 embryos?  I guess I'm confused by how that happens, since I didn't think most doctors were comfortable transferring more than 3 or 4.

    I'm still new to all this though, so I'm just trying to understand the options out there.

    Congratulations and all the best during your 2ww!

    At my age the normal to transfer is 4 maybe 5 depending on quality.  I didn't think they would transfer 7 either but when I asked they had no problem with it.  They said they would bend the rules.  Me and DH gave it alot of thought and it's a decision we both came up with.  We just want to conceive a child and the chances of having twins or triplets is something we have also discussed.

    Sounds like great numbers.  I'm still so confused.  They let you transfer  7 embryos?  Wow!

    I'm really curious to hear how this turns out for you.  DH and I have been debating whether to transfer 2 or 3, should we have that option (slated to start stims for IVF #1 this week), as we'd be thrilled to have twins (we would like 2 kids and currently have none), but aren't sure how we feel about triplets.

    If you don't mind my asking, what is your age (I'm 38) and what has your experience been with previous IVF attempts? 

    Even though everyone has different experiences with IVF, not to mention different IF issues, I'm always interested in learning as much as possible as I get ready to start the process myself.

    This will be our 4th IVF.  Our first IVF was in 2007 and we transferred (2) on day 3 1-4 cell and 1-6 cell.  We have a 4 year old son from that cycle.   Our 2nd IVF we transferred 2-8 cell, 1-4 cell, and 1-6 cell (also day 3).  No luck with that one.  Our 3rd was this past March we traveled to the Czech Republic.  We had a 2 day transfer of 1-4 cell and 1-6 cell.  No luck either.  I never produced many follicles, but with this cycle we somehow did unbelievably good.  I'm 42 years old and we know age is not on our side.

    Thanks for sharing.  That gives us something to think about.  Here's hoping you get at least one sticky from this bunch.  All the best to you!

    1/1010 FINALLY decided to have testing done, dx MFI

    I am very curious about what protocol you switched to this time that produced so many follies? I am DOR and only got 3 at age 38. Will you share the protocol?

    DOR (FSH 24.3)/ terrible egg quality ; homozygous MTHFR c677t
    5 IUI's: 2/11 to 6/11 and 1/12= BFN
    OE IVF#1-4 8/11-6/12= all BFN
    DE IVF#1 11/12 bad embryos= BFN
    DE IVF #2 2/13 BFP/Beta hell: m/c 5w6d
    CFNBC 7 months, not doing well; decided on guarantee program at RBA w/frozen DE
    DE IVF #3 1/14  ET 4BB; BFP;M/C 5w1d, incomplete m/c; MVA extraction in ER 7w1d

    DE FET#1 ET 3/1714; BFP, beta 1 3/27= 197, beta 2 3/31= 1586, beta 3 4/7= 13879!!

    I was on 300 IU of Gonal and 300 IU of Menopur daily along with low dose aspirin and low dose steroids. I also was taking DHEA and CQ10 along with doing Acupuncture for fertility.

    Interesting that it is so simple a protocol. GL for your beta:-)
