I just had a failed IVF/ICSI cycle. This is my 2nd attempt, our 1st attempt back in 2005 produced a live birth and we did the old protocol of Gonal-F and Cetrotide and no Lupron or Luveris.

This most recent cycle we did Lupron and Luveris and I only had 3 eggs and only two made it to 5 day ...

Hi ladies. I had my 5dt on 7/30 and I am testing like it's my job and of course my DH and everyone who knows tells me it's way too early but what do they know!?

Speaking of jobs, I want to choke out everyone at work because I am so not thinking or caring about work because WHAT IF I AM PREGNANT or ...

No, they didn't give me the grades and I am a big chicken for not asking. Sometimes I get amnesia and forget stuff I want to ask them until after I get home.

Thanks for your good wishes! The two made it and I just had the ET. 1 was 6 cell and 1 was 10 cell.

Does that seem right for a five day transfer?

My first IVF/ICSI cycle I had three put back on day three and they were 5, 7, and 8 cell.

The biologist said there was minimal fragmentation. What does ...

I go in tomorrow for ET - cross your fingers/toes/nose hairs for me please!!!

So, I had ER on Friday the 25th. Only got 3 eggs and on Saturday two showed "signs of fertilization".

I called the lab today and they said the two are still chugging along (not their words but you get the drift). Since it's Monday, and my ET is now scheduled for Wednesday with my two little fellas ...

Kim,
Sorry to hear about your problems running around to different places? Were you on the verge of being arrested? Cuz I know I would have been!!!

I told my closest co-workers and they have been pretty good about it. They just told me to tell them it I am having a "bad" day so they know to leave ...

The biologist just called. Only two of the eggs "show signs of fertilization". I am trying to keep a PMA and I keep telling myself that it's not in my hands right now but it's hard when you spend so much time shooting yourself up with drugs. Helllloooooo roller coaster!!

Thanks to those of you who ...

Valerie,
Thanks for your post. I just blew chunks like it was my job. I think I might have thrown up stuff I ate last week!!!

I think my body is going down the list of possible side effects of what I can have after the ER and going Pain- Check; Bloating - Check; etc.

I am really bummed out right now. Yesterday was my ER and they only got 3 eggs. Has anyone had any luck with that many at ER? The whole cycle I felt like I wasn't stimming enough and felt that it might be canceled at any time.

Everyone else around me (family) are really happy and supportive but I ...

Thanks for the thoughts! I did have ER on Friday. They only found 3 eggs. But they did say there were big. I am up and down because I know that they have a better chance with more and with my DS, they took out 9 eggs, 5 fertilized and they put back 3. I am feeling very hopeless about the 3 but I ...

I think the hardest part is to blindly trust someone when you have some knowledge yourself. Although my RE is great and got me pregnant once already, I second guessed him every step of the way and asked the most annoying questions. But sometimes it is important to ask those questions and being ...

Thanks for the supportive words! Went in yesterday for my scan at RE office and they found millions of big follies. Ok, not millions but 5 big ones on the LT and 5 decent on the RT.

I did my HcG shot last night and am scheduled for ER on Friday.

Thanks for the reassurance. The nurse at my RE office said that my E2 went up to 351 and to not worry because as long as my E2 keeps going up it is ok. I am just freaking out because I just spent $2,500 on my meds and if they cancel this cycle I am going to probably have a coronary.

I am going in ...

I just went in for my second US and the tech (not my RE - my RE is 100 miles away) said she only saw 3 follicles on my LT and didn't say anything about my RT. My first scan the UT almost killed me and said she couldn't find my ovaries. My RE nurse (for my very first appt.) had no trouble at all. I ...
