We just had our 1st (and hopefully only) failed IVF. We are meeting with our RE on Tuesday to discuss what went wrong and what the next step is. I know we are starting again right away but I was concerned with the quality of the embryos. Please share any information that you have about the growth ...

Millersmommy- I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and saying extra prayers!
All of you with BFP's- I hope everything continues to go well and you have wonderful pregnancies!!!
Everyone waiting to test- Keep positive and I am sending baby dust your way!

AFM- It's officially a BFN for us!! :cry ...

I go in for my beta tomorrow but it is not looking promising. All HPT's have been negative so I have little hope! Today was a really hard day as it was one of my best friends baby showers. I didn't want to be "that" friend that can't go to anything baby related. The timing really stunk!!! I cried ...

I took a HPT this morning and it was negative! :( I am really bummed but still hopeful. I hope I don't break the good luck this board has been having! I am going to call my RE today to schedule my post-IVF appt for next Thursday. They tell us to make the appt regardless of outcome to talk about the ...

I am dying to test!! I went to the store yesterday and bought some HPT's and they are calling my name! There is no way I can wait til the beta on Monday. I thought I would be able to hold out but I think buying them so early was the mistake!! Maybe starting tomorrow isn't so bad, right???? I feel ...

Feeling better today...I think the IV fluids helped yesterday! I am now on 2 more days of bed rest to make sure nothing else goes wrong! Good thing I am a teacher and have the summer off! :)
Hopefully I will continue to feel better and will be back to normal on Wednesday. I called today to schedule ...

What a day yesterday...I do have mild OHSS but the main problem is a blood clot by my uterus!! I went into the doc yesterday morning and they did an ultrasound and saw some fluid but they were more concerned about the internal blood!!! :shock: I was really scared and they couldn't do bloodwork in a ...

I am thinking I am having a nasty case of OHSS...I called the doc on call and they want me to come in tomorrow morning! I have been doing everything I can-salty food, Gatorade, and lots of water. I feel like I swallowed a basketball and can't find a comfortable position to sit or lay in. THIS SUCKS ...

I had my transfer yesterday and it went well. The process was so cool to watch. I was really glad that they let my husband stay in the room while they did the transfer...he was able to watch on the US as they did it. What an experience to share!! They transferred 2 blasts (one was better quality ...

I was told to drink tons of liquid and eat a high protein diet after retrieval to ward off symptoms of OHSS. They told me that Gatorade was better than all water because of the electrolytes. I am just doing whatever I can to not get dehydrated. Has anyone heard of any other things to keep from ...

My transfer is scheduled for 9:15 AM tomorrow morning! I am so excited it is finally here! I am still bloated and a little crampy but I guess that is normal, right????? I don't know how much more Gatorade I can drink!!!

I know there are a few people having transfers tomorrow so good luck to ...

Just got the good news from the doc...all 13 embies look good today and we will do a day 5 transfer on Friday!!! YEAH! Let the good news keep coming for a change!!!

Byrnme- Thanks for doing the list!! It is nice to see everyone's progress in the same place!!!!!
Congrats to those with a BFP...hopefully we can add lots more to that list!!!

I am scared to death to do the PIO shot tonight!!! YIKES!!!!

Hey ladies! I had my retrieval yesterday! It went well but I am super crampy and feel very bloated! They called today and told me that of the 17 mature eggs, 13 fertilized. I was really happy with that number. They will call tomorrow to let us know whether we will do a 3 or 5 day transfer. I have to ...

I am getting ready to do my trigger shot! YEAH! Finally got word that we will definitely be doing our retrieval on Sunday morning! No more guessing!!! I am nervous and excited that it is finally happening! There are so many of us within days of each other...it is so nice to share this crazy journey ...
