Re: Prenatal Vitamins?

Hi,

Try New Chapter Perfect Penatal Vitamins. I can take them on an empty stomach and never feel sick. The best price is on amazon and you can read other reviews from other users.

Gost - Question RE SART

Quick question - what does it mean when a clinic is not on the SART site? Does that mean the clinic does poorly and therefor does not report to SART?

Thanks

Re: IVF in NY - ghost and all

Thanks for all the replies. It sounds like most places are good. I guess its just so hit or miss if you get pregnant or not. I'm "unexplained" (which is nonsense, obviously SOMETHING is wrong) and am really not sure if I want to try again after 8 failures (2 fresh, 6 frozen, 3 chemical pregnancies ...

What is the fancier version of PGS that would be twice the amount of regular PGS?

Re: Ghost - I'd like to hear your thoughts on PGS/PGD

How long is a an ivf cycle with PGS take from start to finish? Are there tests to take prior to seeing if someone is a potential candidate? RE a fresh cycle with PGS, are the meds and injections different or is it pretty much the same except there is an extra step of lab testing of the embryos?

How ...

Re: Ghost - I'd like to hear your thoughts on PGS/PGD

Yes, I'm pretty sure genetic testing was done. I'm getting a copy of my file so I will reconfirm then.

History:
ivf #1 - fresh, chemical
ivf #2, 3 and 4 - fet, bfn
note - all embryos just "ok"

ivf #5 - fresh, bfn
ivf #6 - fet, chemical
ivf #7 - fet, chemical
ivf #8 - fet, bfn
note - 8/14 embryo's ...

Ghost - I'd like to hear your thoughts on PGS/PGD

Hi Ghost

I just completed my 8th unsuccessful attempt at IVF. I had 3 chemical pregnancies from these cycles. DH and I are 34 and 35 and diagnosed as "unexplained". We are self pay patients and would like a realistic statistic on the probability in achieving a live birth should we do another IVF ...

Website showing Clinic Statistics

Hi,

Please let me know if there is another site that shows the clinic success rates. I have been to the SART site but was wondering if there is another site for reference.

Thanks

Re: LOW BETA, Ghost and everyone

Thanks for all of the encouraging words.

My beta went down to 11 so its official - another chemical pregnancy so that makes it chemical pregnancy #3. I have one more FET and this cycle is over. This will be the 8th attempt via ivf - fresh or frozen.

Anyone experience multiple chemical pregnancies ...

Re: LOW BETA, Ghost and everyone

First fresh cycle was chemical. The remaining FET's were negative.

Second fresh cycle was negative. The first FET was chemical in Dec. Needed methotrexate to get to zero. This would be the second FET.

One FET left.

LOW BETA, Ghost and everyone

Hi,

Today is 12dp3dt. I just got my beta and its 42. I go back for another beta on Weds. Has anyone had any luck with a low beta? I've had 2 other chemical pregnancies in the past from a fresh and frozen cycle. This is a possible 3rd chemical pregnancy. Does this mean that I am prone to chemical ...

3. baby aspirin - does your clinic suggest this
4. Vitamin D and its relationship to infertility
5. day 3 or day 5 transfer ...
