Caz,

I have two beautiful 8 month old identical twin girls from a FET. I call them my snow babies. This was successful after a failed fresh ICSI cycle in Dec. of 2003.

Just to give you some hope.....Four frozen embryos were transferred, two took, and one split. We had triplets until about 8 weeks ...

Congratulations Tracey!!!!

It was great to hear from you. Your daughters must be bringing you so much joy! What a blessing.

I thought of you last night as my DH and I were in our 2nd Multiples class at the hospital. There was another couple expecting twin boys and her DH was from England and ...

Paige...my first scan was on April 19...the transfer was March 25...at that scan they saw all three heartbeats!!

Good luck!
Denise

Paige..the numbers look great! Perhaps twins???? When do you go for your first scan? The numbers should double every 48 hours, I believe, and yours did more than that - so that is a good sign.

Good luck,
Denise

Hi Paige....I guess the hcg depends upon what kind of transfer did you do...For example, was it a five day or three day transfer? How many days after the transfer did you have bloodwork done? Back in March I completed a FET and was trying to figure out what the numbers meant. My first bloodwork was ...

Oh good luck Hope! That was such great news to hear! You are in my thoughts.

Congratulations Helen!!!

That is such wonderful news about your new bundles of joy! They are such big twins - good job!!! You and Tracey are inspirations to me! Now I am more than halfway there.

I wish you lots of love, health and happiness with James and Thomas.

Yippee - Yahoo!!!

Congratulations to Tracey and Ian!! I am just reading the news today (Friday morning in NJ). WOW - the girls are such great weights! Tracey - you are such an inspiration to us all - if you lived closer - I would take Gabby for a walk while you are in the hospital!

I just found ...

Hi Hope!

I live in NJ too, and completed a FET in March. The protocol for me was the same as what you explained. I began BCP for about 6 weeks straight (I started them on Jan. 29 and did not take any placebo pills. On March 2 I had an appointment for an exam and ultrasound. At that time I started ...

Tracey -
Good Luck tomorrow!!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I can't wait to hear all about your precious girls!

Girls -

NY would work for me. It is just a 35 minute ferry ride across the river. I am not sure of my condition for Oct., but if I am able, I will make it. (Godwilling I will be 7 months at that time - with twins )

Good luck with all of your treatment!

Staci - Oh no, I saw that we were really off topic, so I thought I would reply with a new post!!

Good luck with the FET. This was the way I had to go because the fresh cycle brought on very high estrogen levels after that HCG shot that released the eggs. So my doctor said the only way to control ...

Hi Staci --- thanks for your message - you should have run the marathon. You were doing enough running during that time that you would have been fine! My last race was the Spring Lake 5 mile run a year ago May. With all the treatment, failed IUIs last summer, beginning of meds in Nov., failed ICSI ...

Hope - where are you in NJ? I live in Highlands - across the bridge from Sea Bright and Sandy Hook.

Going to Disney brings back some fond memories. In January of 2001 I completed the Walt Disney World Marathon - we ran from Epcot to the Magic Kingdom, to the Animal Kingdom, to MGM and then back to ...

Oh Dagny - you are in my thoughts and prayers! I was away yesterday and thought about you often. I offered up my communion for you the past three Sundays at church - now I am praying for you and you DH to have the strength to get through this.

Sadly,
Denise
