Thanks for the success stories. I am glad to hear all your babies are doing well.

She posts on Caringbridge.com and keeps everyone updated daily. The babies are doing pretty well considering. The boy has a grade 2 bleed did have an intestinal perf, but they are fixing that, hopefully wihtout ...

Thanks for the good stories. I am actually an Medical ICU nurse myself, but I know the NICU is a whole other world. My daughter was in the NICU for 8 days, nothing near what my friends are going through. They are in a good hospital with a good NICU. It has been a rolercoaster ride in this one week ...

My cousins friend who concieved her babies through IVF, had her water break around one of the babies early. She went for a few days, but the mommy developed respiratory distress as her lungs were filling up with fluid and she had to deliver her twins 2 hours shy of 26 weeks. They are B/G twins, the ...

Thank you all for your replies and support. it has been 3 weeks and I sill can't grasp this is really happening. He has fallen out of love with me and says I am not the person he thought I was. Blaming it all on me of course. In the meantime I found out he has had an emotional affair and kissed ...

I am still in shock and it happend a week and a half ago. He told me he doesn't feel the same way anymore, I became distant during IVF and pregnancy, he wasn't getting enough affection and sex, so our marriage is over and he wants a divorce! After I went through IVF because of HIS infertiity. We ...

Congratulations to you! I have a 6 month old daughter through ICSI. We just went for her well-baby check-up yesterday and she is developmentally right on target, if not advanced!!! She is doing excellent. Please, don't worry about the crazy things the internet says!

I live in Northern NJ and there are 2 places that come highly recommended: Cornell and Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science (IRMS) in Livingston, NJ.

Being that I live in NJ and work for the St Barnabas heathcare System, I went with IRMS. I had first time IVF/ICSI success. Dh works in NY ...

I gave birth to my IVF/ICSI girl a month ago. My water broke at 36 weeks and I had her the next day. Totally unexpected. She was a good size, 6lbs 12 oz, but because of my group B strep and my spiked temp she went to the NICU. There we found out she had feeding problems, where she was incoordinated ...

I was in up in the air about it too. I decided to breast and bottle feed. My daughter spent 8 days in the NICU, so I pumped colostrum and some breast milk for her, and started to breast and bottle after she was there for a few days. I just stopped doing breast a few days ago. She is 4 weeks now. I ...

I can't help but have it on my mind. DH and I will only ever concieve through IVF/ICSI, as he has CAVD, and there are no miracle natural conceptions in store for us. Before we knew our fate, we always agreed on 2 kids. No more. That's what we can handle, thats what we can afford. Even though I know ...

I know it is kind of early , but I have a ICSI daughter who is 4 weeks today. She came at 36 weeks, at a good size, had some coordination problems with eating and breathing and had a 8 day stay in the NICU, but it has nothing to do with ICSI, it is very common with prematurity.

However, she eats ...

The Dr. had a hard time putting in the catheter in me too. She said to the embryologist, get the incubator ready and was going ot put them back it, then she got it. I am now 12 weeks pregnant. I wouldn't worry about it. good luck to you!

My first beta was 60 at 13 DPO which I was concerned about , but my clinic wasn't. 72 hours later it was 163. On 23 DPO my Beta was only 644 and I had only a tiny gestational sac and my Dr. was worried. I went and repeated it 4 days after that and it went up to 1697. Then I had my 6 week 3 day ...

Let me tell you a little story about my first scan. My clinic does very early scans and I seriously wish they didn't. Last week I had my first one done at 5 weeks 2 days. The Dr. who did my scan acted funny. She saw a gestational sac, but it was really tiny. She then quickly said, hopefully your ...

I know how everyone feels. I am pregnant for the first time in my first cycle of IVF/ICSI. My husband thinks I am crazy because I feel like I can't admit I am pregnant because I am afraid I am going to lose the baby. I am due OCt. 10th. Due to the nature of my job, everyone knows at work because I ...
