Infertility

This Better Work

  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.

Re: This Better Work

  • 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.
  • Congrats! I was thinking of you today. I'm glad that you had 2 really good embies to transfer and hope you get your twins! I hope we can keep each other sane for the next couple of weeks...its a rollercoaster ride for sure. Fingers crossed for you!
