Good evening ladies,

WEll, officially my Beta was negative on Monday. I have gone through my usual emotions and I am back to go again! I started my bcp today and we are on track for a FET around Jan 10. Glad to have a group to cycle with- cause it sucks when you are alone!

Dear all,

Hi, I am Kerri. I started the first ivf in September and it is my second attempt now. Before the beta test tomorrow, I join this BFN group. Like my first IVF, the menstruation came before the test. I guess the doctor will have me continue the third attempt immediately. I start feeling ...

Hi,

My DH has severe male factor as well. He has a very high number of Anti-sperm Antibodies (over 75%). IVF/ICSI is our only option. I have read some material on using acupunture and chinese herbs to help- anyone have any input on that?

Another thing to concider is- was the embryo a blast at day 5 and frozen on day 6? I have 2 "day 7" blasts, but they became blasts on day 6. Depends on the clinic protocol.

Hi All,

My first IVF/ICSI was cancelled after a malfunction in the incubator- none of the 23 embryos cleaved due to a failed gas line :cry: This was EXTREMELY RARE to happen, never before at my clinic. Then we insisted that all the eggs didn't go to one "basket" for the next cycle!
Second cycle ...

wishinnprayin27 - Welcome to the site. I am pretty new to this group as well, but they have embraced and supported me from day one. The stimulation process can be hormonal madness but it is all worth it in the end!
Best of luck to you. There is lots of experience on here, so pick our brains!
I hope ...

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving- we celebrate a little earlier up here!
Well I did it, I POAS yesterday afternoon. I was crazy with anxiety and I was right...it was negative. That was 9dp6dt so, I am ready for the negative beta on Monday. I will test again on Sunday just for fun :lol:

Not ...

UGHHHH!! I am holding out and waiting until friday to POAS. Starting to lose the faith today...symptoms are fading and I have done this enough to know the pattern of a BFN. This is the time of the 2WW where my insanity really starts to kick in and the tears come and go and the butterflies start in ...

Holy cow, there has been a lot of action on here in the last couple days!!!!

Myizzy and cwehrs- my heart goes out to you. Hugs to you both.

KarenS, Blair and Rio- awesome job ladies! I am very happy for you all!

Rio- great beta, how is that OHSS? Has it started to get better? I had serious OHSS ...

Hi ladies,

I am new to the board, but not IVF. I had 2 frozen 6 day blasts transfered on the 16th and I am in the hell of the 2ww! It is so nice to read your posts and see I am not alone in my insanity!

Carrie

I have often thought the same thing. I have two 7 day blasts in the "freezer". The way I think of it is, if it survived that long and grew into a blast, it is viable.

Best of luck to you, keep us posted.
Carrie

My specialist only says about 24 hours bed rest then take it easy for the following 2 days. Can't say if it really makes any difference but I sure don't mind the rest after all the anticipation of the transfer. I send my daughter to daycare and my husband and I have a day of movies together.

Good evening ladies,
I am new to the board but I am an IVF veteran like you all. Currently I am on my 4th transfer in the last year and a half. I have a beautiful daughter from my second IVF cycle and it has definitely been a struggle to go through all this fertility stuff with a toddler!
Is trying ...
