My husband and i are thrilled that we just found out we are expecting. My signature shows my betas which Im sure most likely mean not twins. I was curious if it meant anything that the beta nearly tripled in 48 hours. I know 80 isnt super high to begin with though. I was told my progesterone is ...

I too was in a similar situation just a week and a half ago with our first IVF that we actually got to go all the way through with. As far as 1 vs. 2, my husband was nervous about twins and my doctor mentioned it once, but I was pretty adamant about increasing our chances. I'm like you and would ...

Thank you, ghost, for your reply. That makes me feel better. I will stop wishing for pain now!!

I had my ER on 11/29. 11 eggs, 9 mature, 4 fertilized with ICSI. We had a 5 day transfer on 12/4 with two good looking blasts and the other two made it to freeze. I recently had a labroscopy and was all cleaned out with dye. We felt pretty good about our chances of implantation. A day and a half ...

Thank you ghost and Lauren. That really helps. Will I most likely start my period pretty soon after BCP? I've been taking them straight through, of course, without the sugar pills. I am starting my 6th week. Will I have to finish a pack before waiting for my period or can I just stop whenever he ...

Hello all. I am recovering from a laprascopy. My dr found 15 spots of endometriosis and performed ovarian diathermy. He thinks it will increase our chances of IVF being successful since we have to do it anyway for my husband. This summer when we tried IVF (never made it to retrieval), I was using ...

Thank you everyone for the tips! It has gotten quite a bit better this week. I was on Glumetza ER for about 5 weeks before switching. I had to switch because the manufacturer is currently not making Glumetza in 500 mg so I would have to up my dose to 2000 from 1500 because they are only making 1000 ...

My husband is currently on clomid for sever male factor also. His testosterone was very low and has gone back to normal since he's been on the meds. He started in January. He started out at 8 million before meds and is up to 36 million now. Thats still not in normal conceive on your own range, but ...

Thanks for the advice! Crackers have been my savior. I'm a third grade teacher, though, so I don't have time/feel bad eating in front of the kids, but I'll do anything to deal with this beast of a drug!

Hi all. I was just wondering if anyone who has been on metformin for pcos had trouble adjusting. I have felt sick to my stomach often and I'm gassy too. The pharmacist and nurse warned me but didn't know it would be this bad. I was on extended release glumetza for five weeks and had to change to ...

Thank you both! I will pass along the info.

My friend implanted two embryos on day 3 post retrieval. She had her first beta of 163 12 days past transfer. Two days later she more than doubled with a beta of 475. What are the chances of twins with those numbers? Also if two embryos are implanted and you only end up with a singleton what happens ...

Thank you Lou and Guest! My friend feels much better now.

She is 30 and no prior pregnancies or births. She started stimming on Friday, July 23rd. Her protocol was first 5 days follistem 200 units at night. Then the 28th and 29th she did 150 at night and 150 in the morning. The 30th and 31st and 1st was 200 at night and 150 in the morning.

I have a friend who is going through her first IVF due to male factor. Her estradiol has been low throughout, but just went up to 1300 so that's good. She's been on follistem. She had her final scan today and has 6 mature (size 19 and 20) follicles. She's supposed to do the ovidrel shot tonight and ...
