I'm not sure how long is "many years," but it seems like it's been a while for us. We started trying on our own about 4 years ago. This past January, we went to the doctor. We've done one round of IVF (out of pocket) and one, really pathetic round of FET. I'm not sure where we're going now. We have ...

Well, as expected, I'm not pregnant...still.

So, my questions are these:

1. If I do another FET cycle, when would I find out if our d2 embryos survived?

2. Do you think the other embryos have any chance of being ok when the others were all dead/damaged?

3. Would you do another FET cycle or ...

We had to transfer to another clinic to be allowed to start right away. We did transfer our embryos and, reportedly, it went very smoothly.

We did a fresh IVF cycle ending in early June. It was a failed cycle, but we ended up with 13 embryos - 7 day3 and 6 frozen just after they fertilized.

We're now nearly done with our first FET cycle (which I'm almost certain is another failed cycle). When they thawed our day3 embroys, 5 of them ...

I teach and I took a lot of days off for my last cycle. It didn't help that we lived over an hour from the office and they kept stupid hours (9-4 ONLY) so we always had to take off if we had an appointment.

It's part of the problem that we're going to have if this cycle doesn't work out. I'm out ...

Wow! Congratulations! I will not let this tempt me into testing early. I won't I won't I won't!

Progesterone always makes me feel that way. It also makes my pee smell very...strange. Similar to the taste in my mouth (although for me it's more of a chemical taste).

Mine also hurt for days. I had trouble twisting until almost transfer day. It sucked, but it eventually went away. The meds they gave me after retrieval helped a lot.

I'll second the ice suggestion. That's a life saver. Other than that, I don't have any help. We can only do the shots on one side; anytime my husband does it on the left, I end up hurting for days.

To you as well. Our appointment ended up being a little... strange, so we didn't end up with a lot of advice afterwards. I have an appointment Monday, but that seems like a million years from now.

I had my transfer yesterday around 5:30. I did the 24 hour bedrest thing. Today, I spotted just the tiniest bit, which I attributed to the catheter. But just now, (TMI) when I wiped, there was qite a bit more blood. It's not so much that it would get on my underwear, but it's significantly more than ...

Hmm. I guess my post got eaten. I was just saying that I'll be having AP this time RIGHT before my TXFR. Valium, AP, Massage, TXFR. I think in my case, it's more about relaxation than anything.

I was too chicken to do mine in the belly so all of my shots have gone in the thigh (except for the IM shots in my hip). It wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was where my doctor suggested we do them

Both this time and last, I've been on 2mg twice a day. However, this time, they'll be checking my hormone levels every other day, so that may change.

My doctor scheduled a saline sonogram for me, but then changed the date because they realized I'd be nearing my period on the first date and they wanted as thin a lining as possible. I was actually just finishing my period on the new date, so I guess they got what they wanted. Hopefully it is just ...
