this is such an interesting topic. i am 3 days away from my pregnancy test on my 2nd IVF. i have been a complete basket case. i am functioning but feel horrible. i cried for about 3 days in a row but that ended and now i am just miserable (probably from the progestrone). this is a very hard time and ...

did you have FET? how did it go? what is the status of your situation currently? do you have pcos?

Hi! I have a history of OHSS and last IVF I had over40 eggs. This time I had 32 eggs. I just was wondering if I am at risk of OHSS again.

I only took one day off for the ET and a 1/2 day for the transfer. I developed OHSS later on and was umcomfortable but it was still better for me to go to work. I really didin't miss much time at all. I guess it depends on your job. Most of the appts are pretty quick and they say it is good for you ...

What does your clinic say about it? I am sorry you are going through this...

Luvbabies, I know what you mean about “kind of” enjoying working out and the caffeinated drinks. When I attended the first class at the gym I was tearful because I was back at the same spot but at the same time I was happy to have some normalcy in my life. Being on this break also makes me realize ...

Thanks for your input regarding my situation. I meet with my RE on Weds and have had several conversations with my nurse. They are coming up with a new plan for me. For now I am enjoying this little break. I am back at the gym and enjoying real coffee in the morning. Hang in there with the 2ww. I ...

Ghost,
Toward the end they dropped me to 75mg of Follistim for one night. The entire cycle I was doing Follistim AM and PM (150mg) I continued to do Lupron-5 units and low dose HSG-30 units. Two days before the retrieval I did 2 shots of Ovudrel.

Thanks so much for your help!

Ghost, Why are you not surprised about a fresh cycle not working with 46 eggs retrieved? Do you think it is a bad sign that we have no embryos to freeze? On the day of the transfer they said they were looking at 9 embryos still. I guess none of them made it. The day after the transfer 39 fertilized ...

There were no eggs to freeze. I was sad to hear tht actually considering I had no many eggs. I am going to take a few months off and get my life together and then start over on dec/jan.

Deepa,
IUI cycles were much different and I also never made it to a pregnancy test. I was psyched because I didn't have my BFN and I thought maybe there was a possibility that I could be pregnant. I also have no cramping and minimal PMS symptoms. It is very deceiving. Thanks for the encouragment ...

I am very sad to say today that my first IVF didn't work. Everything went perfectly....46 eggs were retrieved! Three were transferred (8,4,5) on day 3. How many IVF's is enough?? I will hold my head up and hope for the best in the future. BTW...I am 32 and DH is 33. So far they are saying in is ...

Cowgirlclass,
I am having a very hard time with the 2ww. How about you? I just feel like even the bloated symptoms are subsiding. I am just getting really worried. How did your cycle go? Is this your first cycle?

Hi Everyone! I am new to this message board. I have just completed my first IVF cycle and have a pregnany test on Tues...Yikes! This is killing me. Most of this I week I was feeling very sick and bloated from OHSS and just last night I turned a corner and feel a hundred precent better. I am still ...
