teamvuch~ Hello I sympathize with you. After my BFN with my 1st IVF cycle I had a consult with my RE to go over and try and figure out what might have happened. One thing he made very clear was the ease of the transfer has an impact on the outcome. So with your's being difficult, my RE would ...

Hello. I too had a failed IVF on 7/07 and AF was due for me on the same day as you and I am still not seeing a period. I called my RE this morning and they are putting me on Provera which will induce my already late period. I have to take it only for 7 days. I am gearing up gor IVF# 2. I'm not sure ...

What exactly is ivig?

ANYONE???????

Hello,
I have a quick question. My RE told me that hydro tubes are detectable on the sonohysterogram. I was wondering because I know that the presence of hydro tubes reduces the chance of IVF success.

Thanks for your respones.

mgpasco~Hello. It seems to me that on Day 5 the embryos should be at the blastocyst stage or very close to it. Did they give you the grades of the embryos? As far as fragmentation, that refers to the shape of the cells in the embryo. The less degree of fragmantation, the higher the grade of the ...

ekburke~ Hi! Glad to have you. It's been pretty quiet on this board, but I do check in everyday to see how you ladies are doing.

AFM~Another day of waiting for AF... :twisted: Anyway, I had acupuncture today, and it was awesome. I actually fell asleep this time. It was very peaceful. I hope ...

Annie973~I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Even though I never miscarried I can imagine the pain! BUT..September is supposedly the month where the most babies are conceived. (I read that somewhere) So I am praying that we all get our BFPs!!

What is the benefit of using the estrogen??

Greetings,
I have been trying to research the efficacy of estrogen in IVF. My Dr. isn't not putting me on it, but several of my friends are taking it and they all got pregnant on their first cycle. Why is that estrogen is included in some protocols, but not all? Seems to me that it is as vital as ...

Hi all! I wanted to jump in! I will begin IVF# 2 in September. As it stands now I am waiting for AF to come so I can begin BCPs. Iam very excited this time around because my doc is changing my protocol a little bit. I would love to meet some cycle buddies!!

Annie973~ I heard great things about ...

Hello! I just wanted to tell you to keep the faith. This whole process is so hard. QUESTION~Why are you getting BETA blood tests so early? Seem like you could be stressing yourself out unneccessarily! Good Luck though!
