I am pregnant after my first IVF treatment. I had 10 eggs retrieved, six fertilized, and only 4 were viable for transfer. The fourth was not good quality so we transferred three and got BFP this week. Our first BHCG was 149. We get a scan in a wek and a half to see how many. Good luck, I'll keep my ...

I know this two weeks will also be hard. I am a nurse midwife and am going to have a sneak peak on Thursday although with numbers less than 1200-1500 you usually can't see anything. I looked at one studny and it said the average HCG on this day is 152 and I am 149 but a singleton average is 132 so ...

Ladies,
I am thrilled with BFP today! My BHCG is 149 and it is 13 dpt 3 day transfer. I had 2- 8 cell perfect embryos and one 4 cell that looked "very good." Yesterday they said that numbers over 100 could mean twins but today they aren't saying much. For those with twins or triplets, what was ...

Fingers Crossed,
Of course it is unfair and extremely insensitive. I have seen many patients myself subjected to pregnancy discrimination and it is down right mean and hateful! I would evaluate your situation and ask yourself hopw long you plan on staying in this job, etc. If you will be quitting ...

Well, I did the pregnancy test the last two days and had a very weak positive. I did these at my office and they were qualitative serum tests. I did a urine HPT and it was compl;etely negative, so I was thinking it would be a definite turn positive today. I had my ET on 11/2 so I am just praying I ...

Girls,
I am also in 2 ww and going nuts! My breasts are much less tender this weekend also. I had my 3 day ET on 11/2 so my test is Tuesday. I took a HPT today and very negative so now I am totally bummed out. I'm so mad at myself for testing early.

I have a dilemma I want some advice about. I had my retrieval on October 30 and had a three day tranfer on November 2. My HCG shot was given on 10/28. The clinic made an error and told me to come back 12 days later (which would be 11/14) but they wrote 11/12 on the paper and booked my blood test ...

Hi Ladies,
Thought I would chime in since I order these things on a daily basis. A nuchal translucency test (ntt) can be done between 11 weeks and 13 w 6days, although most people prefer to do them earlier in the thirteenth week in case dates are off by a few days. The test combines an ultrasound ...

Ladies,
I had my transfer 4 days ago and yesterday and today keep feeling an irritable almost menstrual-like cramping. Does anyone know if this is common or does it indicate they are not taking. It is making me very nervous. Can anyone advise????

Michele

Thanks for the kind words. I am 37 y.o. I will find out tomorrow if I will continue or not. If so, I think I will get HCG on Thursday and then go in Saturday (maybe). Since my estrogen fell today, I have to see if they will move forward or cancel. if they cancel, this is my only try so I am sh** out ...

I just posted the poor responder question and now I got a call that my estrogen level fell to 201 from 276. I had 4 follicles 15, 15, 15, and 12. They said that this happens sometimes and that tomorrow will determine if I will continue or be stopped. We have all our funds in this, we are a one time ...

Tania,
Dying to know....how many?????

Help! I am kind of bummed! I had my sonogram today and had three 15 mm eggs and one 12 mm. I was hoping for a lot more and was planning on freezing. My Estrogen is 276 (day 7 of stimulation). These seem like crap numbers to me, but I am not sure. Does anyone have any insight on this? They are ...

My side effects are lessening. I felt a crampy yesterday and was hoping it was the Lupron bleed, but nothing so far. I have done 6 shots, today is day 7 and they said it is usually 8-12 days I think. I am on 10 units. How are things going for you???

I am on 10 units and will reduce to 5 units when I start stims. Headaches continue and now chills and profuse sweating at night. I am glad to hear it may level off. I was thinking this would be the entire cycle so that is some good news. thank you so much......
