Trouble TTC

We're finally IVFers

Funny, I looked back at my posts, and my first post on this board was almost exactly a year ago when intro'ed saying we were doing IVF w/ICSI. Here we are a year later, finally moving on.

My clinic makes you attend an IVF "general meeting," so I'm starting with that on Thursday. Here we go....

Re: We're finally IVFers

  • Well an unfortunate welcome to the club. It's certainly bittersweet to be at the end of the road, but hopefully it maximizes your chances and you're a "one and done". 

    How soon are you guessing it will be until your first cycle?

    Best of luck.

    Well the earliest my RE estimates my ER to be is beginning of December. We are still slightly considering waiting until the beginning of January. I think we'll end up going with ASAP though.

    I truly hope this is it for you! We've only done one medicated cycle, because it was straight to ICSI for us, so I can imagine how tired of this you are. 2012 better have a take home baby (or babies) for many of us!

    This, exactly!  Best of luck to all the up-and-coming IVFers!

    Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.

    IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

    Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

  • Good luck, sbrowns! I hope IVF #1 will bring you success.
    IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
    IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
    IVF #1 = BFN
    FET #1 = BFN
    FET #2 = BFN
    IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
    IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
    Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!

    I have no idea! lol Honestly, I feel like hell- don't get me wrong, I am so grateful to be pregnant, but I've never felt so awful for such a long period of time. I've had all day "morning" sickness this entire time and it hasn't stopped yet. I'm pretty much a hot mess! hahaha See, we can have a pity party for 2!
