For anyone who has had a BFP and a BFN, did you know? I keep thinking I would somehow "feel" pregnant, but I so completely don't. I am so completely symptomless. I only have a mild pain in my rear from the shots.

I'm trying to keep the dream alive until Wednesday for my beta, but it's getting ...

In case anyone was curious:

12 x mature eggs
9 x fertilized
8 x 3-day
4 x 5-day

And now I wait....

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I had 12 x mature eggs --> 9 x fertilized --> 8 x 3-day embies, but I forgot to ask what they looked like. I guess right now it is what it is whatever it is and I'll just hope it all works out in the end.

I got a call this morning that I will be doing a 5 day transfer. At first I was really excited, but then I started to wonder what percentage of embies that make it from day 3 to day 5 on average. I can't seem to find this anywhere.

Anyone know this? Or have your own information to share? Just ...

Shhh. Pineapple is yummy. I'm telling my other half that I HAVE to have some. hehe.

Sorry for butting in, but I stop in every now and then to see how all the Sept / Oct ladies that are here are doing.

Stupid question... if you ignore either the first or second beta, do the numbers look very nice? Perhaps the lab made a mistake. It doesn't occur often, but we are human.

I think I remember reading that ICSI can fracture eggs.

The General Forum has an Over 40 Thread. There are a lot of happy sucess stories there.

Lisa - YAAAAYYYYY!!!!

This must be twins, I only transferred two.
Um. Could be 3. Sometimes people get twins only tranferring 1. :P

Was looking at the new clinics website and they do far more tests than my clinic before they consider doing ivf and one of them is for auto immune profile, i havent a clue what any of this means but if there was a prob. would that mean i couldnt carry or just would be better off with donor?

Gi ...

Kala and Jaydentd - Grats on the +HPT.

Lisa - OMG. I'm keeping IVF from work and family as well. I'm saying a prayer for your embies, your sanity, and your privacy. I can just imagine the stress of all that. Just thinking about that makes my stomach churn. Hang in there. (P.S. Your DH sounds very ...
